ms Joy for Tauck
Maintaining Tauck’s high standards for quality and comfort, ms Joy cruises exclusively for Tauck on the Danube River as part of the Destination Fleet. With a maximum of 130 guests, the 443-foot riverboat and her sister ships continue the tradition of providing more space per guest on Europe’s inland waterways, transporting fewer passengers than most longships (135 meters). Her deck plan is innovative, with a total of 67 cabins, the most popular cabins tend to be the largest, so cruise 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, cruise 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.
