Share: Douro Valley, Portugal(Tauck) Tauck has announced the official restart of its operations in Europe and Africa. The company plans to reopen in stages, beginning with selected departures of its “Iceland” and “Treasures of the Aegean” small-ship ocean cruises in June and July. (Also scheduled for July are the resumption of the company’s cruises in the Galapagos Islands, as well as its "Tauck Bridges" family adventure in Costa Rica.) Tauck’s guided safaris in eastern and southern Africa will resume in August, as will its land tours in Spain, France and Portugal. August will also mark the resumption of Tauck’s European river cruises, with departures sailing on the Rhône and Seine in France and the Douro River in Portugal. Although no firm date has been set, Tauck plans to restart its cruises on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers—and the bulk of its remaining European land tours—in early fall as border openings permit. Those itineraries will be added to an “Open for Travel” page on Tauck’s website as they return to the company’s active roster.
