Inspiration
Når du træder ombord på ms Joy, tag turen op til øverste dæk og tag et øjeblik til at kigge ud over rælingen, mens flodbreddene langsomt glider forbi. Vend derefter om og genindtræd i festlighederne, grib en kølig drink og nyd selskabet af både kære og nye venner, klar til de eventyr, der venter...Med Taucks kompromisløse standarder for kvalitet og komfort sejler ms Joy eksklusivt for Tauck på Donau som en del af vores Destination Fleet. Med maksimalt 130 gæster fortsætter denne 135 meter lange flodbåd og hendes søsterskibe traditionen med at tilbyde mere plads per gæst på Europas indre vandveje, med færre passagerer end de fleste andre langskibe. Dæksplanen er innovativ; med i alt 67 kahytter er vores mest populære kahytter også de største... derfor har vi udnyttet den ekstra skibslængde til at tilbyde toogtyve Tauck Suites på 28 kvadratmeter – flest af alle flodkrydstogtskibe på europæiske floder. For at øge mængden af naturligt dagslys på nederste dæk har vi skabt otte loftkahytter, der strækker sig fra første til andet dæk, hvilket giver gæsterne en ekstra udsigt; alle vinduer i disse loftkahytter kan åbnes.

Useful Info
Handicapvenlige Faciliteter
På land – Gæster med begrænset mobilitet kan opleve udfordringer med at navigere i de bilfri bycentre, brostensbelagte gader og ujævne overflader, som præger det gamle Europa.Ombord – Gæster kan blive nødt til at gå over smalle gangbroer og bestige eller gå ned ad trapper ved ombordstigning eller afstigning fra flodskibet, afhængigt af "dobbeltankring" eller anløbsstedets placering. En rejseledsager med fuld bevægelighed, som kan assistere gæster med behov for hjælp, skal ledsage dem gennem hele rejsen.
Kostbehov
Mange særlige kostbehov kan imødekommes på Tauck-rejser ved forudgående besked, men kan ikke garanteres. Forskellige destinationer gør det lettere eller sværere at opfylde visse kostbehov. Tauck vil gøre alt for at formidle dine ønsker til hoteller og restauranter. Almindelige kostanmodninger som 'lavt natriumindhold' eller 'vegetarisk' imødekommes som regel lettere end meget specielle eller unikke kostbehov. Måltider, der er fuldt à la carte, giver større fleksibilitet for særlige kostønsker, ligesom nogle begrænsede à la carte-måltider. Ved lejlighedsvise 'fastsatte menuer' eller 'buffetmåltider' på Tauck-rejser kan unikke kostbehov være en smule mere udfordrende.
Påklædningskode
Den typiske påklædning på enhver Tauck-rejse er afslappet tøj. Nogle rejser kan inkludere en særlig middagsbegivenhed eller et arrangement, hvor herrer kan blive bedt om, eller føle sig mere tilpas med at bære en sportjakke. Men overordnet set er tommelfingerreglen afslappet og komfortabel påklædning. Den endelige rejsedokumentation vil oplyse om eventuelle lejligheder på rejsen, hvor en sportjakke eller mere formelt tøj anbefales.
Aldersbegrænsninger
Baseret på vores erfaring med familier, der rejser sammen, har vi for hver rejseplan en minimumsalder, som vi anbefaler for at sikre komfort og fornøjelse for alle vores gæster. I visse tilfælde kan der være aldersbegrænsninger for aktiviteter, og alle børn skal ledsages af en forælder eller værge under aktiviteterne. Mindst én gæst i rejsegruppen skal være 21 år eller ældre for at kunne foretage en reservation. Bemærk: Børn på 3 år og derover på rejsetidspunktet er velkomne på mange Tauck Bridges-rejser. Minimumsalderen for vores Tauck Bridges-flodkrydstogter er 4 år. Vi beder dig om at udvise godt omdømme, hvis du overvejer at tage et ungt barn eller børn med på en Tauck-rejse. Mange af vores rejseplaner imødekommer ikke små børns interesser, tålmodighed eller udholdenhed og er derfor ikke rigtig egnede til børn i alt for ung alder. Små børns opførsel kan være uforudsigelig, og med hensyn til alle medrejsende, der ønsker at nyde deres ferie fuldt ud, er det vigtigt at vide og forstå, at Tauck forbeholder sig retten til at bede ethvert gruppemedlem, der forstyrrer, om at forlade turen, uanset om vedkommende er 6 eller 96 år gammel. Familieferier betyder meget for os. Båndet mellem børn og voksne, når de oplever verden sammen, skaber særlige minder, der varer livet ud. Det er af den grund, vi har skabt 'Tauck Bridges' – rejser, som hele familien kan nyde sammen. Hver af disse børnevenlige, familieorienterede rejser har en anbefalet minimumsalder for at sikre komfort og fornøjelse for alle vores gæster.
