Rendezvous on the Seine
Hi, and thanks in advance for your help. We are doing Rendezvous on the Seine departing August 28, 2026. I noticed that the itinerary states a "museum" tour the first full day in the afternoon. It does not say which museum. Does anyone know? We are spending several days ahead of this trip in Paris, and I want to go to as many museums as possible.

My assumption is they are leaving themselves some flexibility depending on what museum they can get tickets for. Someone responding here with which museum they visited might not be the same your group will be offered. You can try calling Tauck and asking specifically for your tour date and they might have an answer.
While the guided museum tours are usually pretty good with Tauck I've found the guide typically only focuses on a fraction of what there is to see so a second visit isn't necessarily a waste of time. We had the after hours Louvre tour on a different cruise but I plan to go back this year to see items we didn't see and take our time a bit.
I’m going on this cruise on May 21. We got the detailed itinerary last month, which looks just your itinerary, except the
Louvre has been added. No times or anything special. I called and was told after lunch around 2:30, the buses will head to the museum. I have been to the museum multiple times, so I’m doing the morning tour, having lunch on my own, and I will work my way back to the ship!
My wife__ is the museum person, so I have been to many museums in Paris over many visits. The Marmottan is probably my favorite, and the Louvre my least favorite. Many people don’t know there is a museum at the top of the Eiffle Tower. There is a tunnel under the round about so don’t risk your life crossing the road.
Since museums, especially the larger ones, have rotating and special traveling exhibits, I never tire of visiting the same museum repeatedly.
