Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 19 river cruises myself. I've also booked over $30 million worth of them for my uh for my clients.

They're still going to pick you up, and they're still going to bring you to um to the hotel or the ship at the at the start of the trip.

We had 20 in our tout groups. I mean they just split us up and you know we had local guides plus we had our talc directors.

They have four what they call cruise directors on board. They actually call them TAC directors.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early to get a free hotel night in Paris.
Don't book airfare with the cruise line; it's overpriced.
Consider the all-inclusive nature of Tauck to avoid extra costs.
