Ship Specifications


ms Swiss Jewel, ms Swiss Sapphire, ms Treasures From the moment you step aboard one of Tauck’s custom-designed sister riverboats,


you’ll feel welcomed... well cared-for... at home. It all starts with consistent design throughout each ship’s four passenger decks: comfortable, upscale accommodations like those you would expect at a premium hotel... except that this “hotel” floats, every cabin faces outside, and most feature French balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows. We’ve designed our ships to accommodate up to 118 guests, while similar-sized riverboats average about 160; there’s plenty of room to relax and feel at home in a spacious cabin (150 sq. ft.), junior suite (183 sq. ft.) or suite (300 sq. ft.), enjoying plasma TV, minibar, adjustable air conditioning and private bathroom with shower, Molton Brown toiletries and more.


Step inside one of the 14 lush 300-square-foot suites aboard every Tauck riverboat, and you’ll find amenities that take your comfort a step further. Cozy furnishings feature brocade upholstery. Roomy walk-in closets make everything easier. Spacious marble baths with full-size tubs invite you to luxuriate a bit. Public spaces aboard our riverboats play a key role in your Christmas Market river cruise experience, too... offering great views from a panoramic restaurant, and the Lido Bar with its opening 180º glass wall. And for the Christmas cruising season, the Lido Bar is decorated in a festive alpine holiday theme; there, you can enjoy glühwein and other seasonal treats, coffee, tea, cappuccino, and snacks throughout the day. Each ship also has a fitness center; sun deck with 24-hour Jacuzzi; a lounge, library and boutique.
