Kids and teens

There are no dedicated Kids & Teens facilities onboard. However, the bond between children and adults as they experience the world together makes for special memories that last lifetimes. It is for that reason that the line created ‘Tauck Bridges’ – journeys for the whole family to enjoy together. Each of these kid-friendly family oriented journeys has a minimum recommended age rating to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all guests. Tauck Bridges itineraries are not recommended for children under 3 years of age. All children on Tauck journeys must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
