Hello. My wife & I are booked on Tauck’s 10/15/26 Westbound Bucharest to Budapest tour. We’re concerned — like many of you, I suspect — whether Tauck will cancel or change this tour and when Tauck will notify us of its decision.
Since it appears the Lower Danube may have different low-water issues than the the Upper Danube, may I suggest that we start a new discussion thread to share questions and information about Tauck’s only two remaining 2026 Lower Danube tours, namely the 10/9/26 Eastbound Budapest to Bucharest tour and the 10/15/26 Westbound Bucharest to Budapest tour.
I’ll start by asking three questions of all of you booked on either of these two Lower Danube tours. Has Tauck told you anything about whether it expects that your tour will proceed as scheduled, with or without changes? Do you know the impact, if any, of Tauck apparently reassigning our scheduled ship, the MS Esprit, to one or more tours on the Upper Danube following the cancellation of the 9/17/26 Lower Danube trip? Do you have any other trip-related news, comments, or questions to share?
Thanks in advance for any input any of you may have.
