Grand European Cruise Westbound June 16, 2016

Hello, Just wondering if anyone else is going on the complete tour? If so, are there any plans for laundry on the 24 day trip? I will be arriving in Bucharest on the 14th in the afternoon. I am a solo traveler and will be looking to see the city before the tour starts. This will be my third tour with Tauck and my first river cruise. Thank you, Eric

  • We've done 2 Taucks river cruises with pre/post cruise hotel stays. The ships and hotels include laundry service but no self service machines. Nor have I ever seen a coin op laundromat anywhere near them.

    Ship board laundry is good but not cheap (price list below) - I had slacks done last year on the Inspire. I left them in a bag on my bed in the morning before going off for the days tours and they were hanging in my room the next morning. Technically it doesn't include ironing but both of mine came back pressed. Otherwise there is an iron/ironing board available to borrow.

    We also hand washed lightweight knit shirts, socks and undies in the bathroom sink. There is a retractable wash line in the showers. Synthetic blends dried within a day, heavier cotton or wool took longer.

    Here is the price list Tauck Tim posted last year on the forum.
