I just booked my first Tauck trip and my first Christmas Markets cruise. And it will be my first solo trip unless I get brave before then and take a trip solo. Mainly want to introduce myself and hopefully "meet" some of my cruise-mates on here. I'll be on the Joy from Vienna to Nuremberg Dec. 1-8, 2026.
Hi! My name is Vicki and my friend Marjorie and I will be going on the Christmas Market Cruise on the Joy this coming December 8-15th. Would love to 'meet' anyone that may be going on that same cruise to get to know some of our fellow travelers. Neither one of us has taken a river cruise before. We are very excited for…
Hi, We are going on the Christmas market cruise from 12/8-12/15 this year. We are committed to travelling with carry on only. Just wondering on the typical weather along the route that time of year? What type of coat will be needed outside during the market tours? Will there be snow that we need to think about boots? Also,…
Another review of this trip. We were glad to start in Vienna. Great hotel - service and breakfast outstanding. The place to convert your dollars to euros - best rate by far at front desk. We arrived 2 days early to explore, and we did just that to see several markets day and night. Walk to St Stephans market at night.…
This was are 14th Tauck tour. All have been wonderful up to this point. This tour was not quite what we expected, no fault of Taucks. Tauck did the best they could under the circumstances.

This was our 8th time over to the Christmas Markets - it was our 5th Danube Xmas Market River Cruise (we've done one with Uniworld, one with Viking, one with AMA, and this was our 2nd Xmas Danube Cruise with Tauck). We have done the Rhine once and we have it booked again Dec.2023 -- the itineraries have changed each time.…
Any other Taucksters on this trip starting 12/14/25? We arrive in Vienna on the 12th - 2 months from today ! Looking forward to another great Tauck adventure ( #10).
On the death of the iconic Jane Goodall this week, we were reminded about when we were on the Tauck Bridges Safari tour in July 2024 when we discovered Jane was at the hotel by the pool talking with a group of documentary people. They were filming in the grounds of the hotel. My husband was able to have a conversation with…
Hello Fellow Passengers! We are so excited about our upcoming Christmas Market Cruise along the Danube. Would love to "meet" fellow passengers on our cruise.
Does anyone know if you able to have the items purchased at the Christmas markets or any of the shops in the cities shipped home or do you need to carry them back to the ship and then fly home with those items? I'm trying to figure out if I should bring an extra bag or under pack to leave room for souvenirs and gifts.…
