Tauck Adds Wellness Departures to Its Seine River Cruise for 2027

October 18, 2026 — Tauck is adding optional wellness programming to two 2027 departures of its “Rendezvous on the Seine” river cruise from Paris, and plans five more Wellness Departures on other itineraries in 2028.

The 2027 Wellness Departures

Departure	Ship	From (per person, double, excl. air)
July 28, 2027	Serene	$7,490
October 11, 2027	Serene	$9,190

Both are 10-day round trips from Paris covering the city and Normandy, and both are open for booking. Tauck’s 2027 river cruises are fully inclusive.

What’s included

Participation is optional. Guests keep the standard sightseeing program.
Activities are grouped into three themes: Move (fitness and guided movement), Savor (nutrition) and Restore (mindfulness and recovery).
Wellness content starts before the cruise and continues with resources after guests return home.
Host: fitness entrepreneur and wellness coach Nikki Polos, founder of Workout Worthy.
Serene has a river-view fitness center, massage room and lounge in The Retreat on the Diamond Deck, plus a Sun Deck pool and bar.

Coming next

Five 2028 Wellness Departures will run on a wider range of itineraries (details TBA). Preliminary 2028 river cruise bookings open later in October 2026 (exact date TBA).

What it means for travelers

Airfare is extra. Both prices exclude flights, so you will need to get to Paris on your own. Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the main long-haul airport.
Arrive at least a day early. Peak-summer (late July) and October flights to Paris can be full, so a buffer day matters.
Keep an eye on France. Protests in France this month have already forced one ocean cruise to skip Le Havre (see our P&O Cruises story). These sailings are in 2027, but it is worth buying travel insurance when you book.
