the wind past the gleaming cliff city of Santorini. You could be

Small Ship Cruising. Basking in personal attention from the

Captain and crew, and delighting in the perfect combination of

cruising and exploring rich culture on dry land. Here, the pace is

relaxed. The smiles easy. And the conversation as free-flowing

as the waters that surround you. Here, you’ll soon realize, is

where you belong.

WHERE WILL THE SEA TAKE YOU?

Here’s to life. To every glorious fleeting moment. To kids who

won’t be eight years old forever. To the young and young at

heart. Here’s to those who look to the horizon, seize the day

with both hands, and step out the front door.

WE TAKE YOUR TRIP PERSONALLY.

Our Tauck Directors don’t just smile and wave. They’ve spent

an average of ten years with us, mastering the art of getting

every detail just right. While you’re out exploring, they’re busy

getting room keys. Reserving the corner table for dinner. Or

finding the perfect picture-taking vista. They’re part professor.

Part concierge. And the world’s best traveling companions.

WE NEVER SETTLE FOR TOURISM.

Life’s too short for cookie-cutter vacations. So we’ve gone past

the usual sights to bring you exclusive access, carefully planned

events and inside knowledge. We’ve joined with incredible

partners to create one-of-a-kind experiences.

Here’s to kindred spirits. Eighty-seven years ago, a passionate

traveler named Arthur Tauck, Sr. got the first tour operator

license in the U.S. Three generations and more than 3,000,000

guests later, we’re still family-owned. We’re still passionate

travelers. And we’ve learned a thing or two about making your

vacation count.

WE BELIEVE GOOD VALUE SELLS ITSELF.

As any globetrotter can tell you, unexepected costs can cast

a shadow on an otherwise amazing adventure. That’s why we

offer one up-front price with virtually everything included. Luxury

accommodations. World-class food and drink. And every

moment of fun. All with no hidden fees and no surprises. Just

the way Arthur Sr. would have liked it.

MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT. STARTING NOW.

Here’s to a date written on a calendar. And unforgettable moments,

soon to come. It all starts here. So read on. Be inspired.
