Tauck is adding wellness programming to selected departures of its 10-day Rendezvous on the Seine river cruise in 2027, with plans to extend the initiative to 5 departures across a wider range of itineraries in 2028.
The first two sailings are scheduled for July 28th and October 11th, 2027, aboard the 124-passenger ms Serene. Both will follow the existing round-trip Paris itinerary, which combines visits to the French capital with cruising through Normandy and includes the programme’s established sightseeing and cultural experiences. The new activities will be optional and organised around three themes: Move, focusing on physical fitness; Savour, exploring nutrition and the relationship between food and well-being; and Restore, covering mindfulness, recovery and relaxation.
Fitness entrepreneur and wellness coach Nikki Polos, founder of the Workout Worthy platform, will host both departures. The additional programme will complement the regular itinerary rather than replace its existing activities.
On board, ms Serene features The Retreat, a dedicated wellness facility on the upper Diamond Deck. It includes a fitness centre with river views, a massage treatment room and a lounge.
The July 28th departure is priced from AU$11,390 per person, based on double occupancy, while the October 11th sailing starts at AU$13,940 per person. Airfare is not included. Both departures are open for booking.
