Wow!!! Check this out from Travel Bulletin !! Tauck branded river boats by Scylla given over to German VIVA Cruises! Gone are the Tauck logo gangways, color scheme, etc.? What about Arthur's? This goes way beyond what we were told- that Scylla was leasing boats to a German entity- and it does not bode well!
