Overview

The MS Esprit is one of Tauck's intimate, custom-built riverboats designed specifically to navigate the European waterways, including the narrow Moselle and the grand Rhine rivers. This 361-foot vessel champions the concept of spaciousness and exclusivity by limiting its capacity to just 98 guests—significantly fewer than most riverboats of a comparable size. This low guest count ensures personalized service and a generous amount of public space.

The ship is famed for its luxurious and expansive accommodations, featuring 22 spacious Tauck Suites (300 sq. ft.) and all other cabins being 225 sq. ft. or larger. All accommodations boast large windows, and most include French balconies. Guests enjoy dining options that include The Compass Rose for open-seating meals and Arthur's, a casual alternative restaurant.

Onboard, the MS Esprit is equipped with a fitness center, a massage studio, and a Sun Deck featuring a plunge pool and relaxed lounging areas, providing a luxurious base for exploring the heart of Europe.
