Tauck is introducing wellness-focused programming on two 2027 departures of its “Rendezvous on the Seine” river cruise, adding optional fitness, nutrition and mindfulness experiences to the 10-day itinerary through Paris and Normandy.

Tauck has also confirmed plans to expand the concept in 2028 with five Wellness Departures across a broader range of itineraries.

The inaugural Wellness Departures will sail on July 28 and October 11, 2027, aboard the Serene, the company said in a press release.

Guests will experience the same sightseeing, exclusive access and cultural experiences featured on the itinerary, with additional opportunities throughout the journey to participate in wellness activities built around three themes: Move, Savor and Restore.

Participation will be entirely optional.

The company said fitness entrepreneur and wellness coach Nikki Polos, founder of Workout Worthy, a fitness and coaching platform, will host both Wellness Departures.

The added programming will complement Tauck’s planned sightseeing and activities. Move will incorporate opportunities for physical activity, Savor will explore nutrition and the connection between food and well-being and Restore will focus on mindfulness, recovery and relaxation.

Wellness elements will be offered before and during the cruise, with resources guests can also use after returning home.

Activities may include guided movement and fitness sessions, mindfulness practices, wellness discussions and programming focused on nutrition and healthy habits.

The Serene features onboard highlights including The Retreat, a wellness area on the ship’s upper Diamond Deck with a river-view fitness center, massage treatment room and lounge, as well as a Sun Deck with a swimming pool, bar and areas for relaxing outdoors.

Tauck’s 10-day “Rendezvous on the Seine” itinerary travels round-trip from Paris, combining time in the French capital with cruising through Normandy.

The July 28 departure starts at $7,490 per person, double occupancy, plus airfare, while the October 11 departure starts at $9,190 per person, double occupancy, plus airfare.

Both departures are currently open for booking. The 2027 river cruises are fully inclusive.

Tauck has also confirmed plans for five additional Wellness Departures in 2028, with details to be announced later.

Tauck will open preliminary bookings for its 2028 river cruises later this month.
