  • Tauck usually takes you from the hotel to the ship

  • The exact location can change but typically they dock just south of the Erzserbet Bridge which is one bridge south of the chain bridge.

    The Pest waterfront is lined with "T" shaped riverboat moorings, one after another. To get an idea, look it up on Google Maps and select satellite view. (you can also go to street view and move along the promenade to see all the boats tied up, some rafted 2 or 3 deep. I didn't see any Tauck/Scylla boats in the current imagery). We docked south of the Szabadasag bridge near the Central Market and across the river from the Gellert baths.

  • We docked a short walk from the Central Market.
    Viking ships were docked near the Széchenyi Chain Bridge and Intercontinental hotel.
    There's a bunch of docks between these two areas.
    More river cruise ships than I'd even seen in one place.

  • Docking areas can change for a myriad of reasons as Ben alluded to in his reply.

    We had weather related issues along the tributaries of the North Sea which kept us docked in Amsterdam, Antwerp and Rotterdam for several days. This was the Yuletide cruise.
    Remarkably, no excursions were canceled; they were just a tad soggy.

    Along the Seine, docking was affected by a damaged lock. Again, no excursion cancelations. At the start of another cruise, the docking in Paris was changed at the last moment due to the Yellow Jacket demonstrations.

    We take these unexpected changes in stride and just enjoy the adventure.
