With a maximum of 130 guests, the 443-foot riverboat ms Savor and her sister ships continue Tauck’s tradition of providing more space per guest on Europe’s inland waterways, transporting fewer passengers than most longships (135 meters) all while maintaining Tauck’s high standards for quality and comfort.

With a total of 67 cabins, ms Savor’s deck plan was innovatively designed with the most popular cabins in mind, which tend to be the largest… so Tauck have used the added ship length to offer twenty-two 300-square-foot Tauck Suites – the most of any river cruise ship on any European river.

To increase the amount of natural sunlight on the lower deck,they have created 8 loft cabins that extend from the first to the second decks, providing guests with an additional view; all windows in these loft cabins open.
