Tauck's Joy: Sail the Danube on a luxury river ship
Snapshot
Cruising exclusively along the riverscapes of the Danube, ms Joy is part of the Inspiration class of riverboats from Tauck River Cruises.
Carrying a maximum of 134 guests, Joy continues the cruise line's tradition of providing the most space per guest on Europe’s inland waterways, transporting the fewest passengers of any longship (443 feet in length).
Joy features 22 300-square-foot suites, the most suites of that size on a European riverboat. Each comes with two French balconies with floor-to-ceiling windows, roomy walk-in closet, and spacious marble bathroom. There are also 32 225-square-foot cabins, plus an additional 13 cabins that range from 150 to 190 square feet.
In addition, guests have access to a second dining venue, Arthur's, named after company chairman Arthur Tauck, Jr.
Joy and her sister ships ms Savor, ms Grace and ms Inspire are unlike any other in the Tauck fleet.
