‘River cruising continues to be one of the most popular ways guests first experience Tauck, and the feedback our river guests have shared over the years shapes each ship we build,’ says Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh.
Custom-built for cruising the Rhône, the ms Harmonie shares the deck plan and signature spaces of the ms Lumière, accommodating no more than 130 guests, up to 30% fewer than comparably sized riverboats. The ship’s sun deck features a swimming pool, full-service bar and shaded day beds. On the upper Diamond Deck, an expanded wellness area called The Retreat offers a fitness centre, massage treatment room and lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Between 2026 and 2028, Tauck is introducing five new riverboats: the ms Lumière and ms Serene have debuted this year, the ms Reverie and ms Saudade, arrive in 2027; and the ms Harmonie in 2028. The programme adds new capacity while retiring two older vessels. By 2028, Tauck’s river cruising capacity will grow by more than 50%, supported by a broader portfolio of shoulder-season departures, plus a new six-day cruise format for guests with less time.
