ms Esprit for Tauck
Newly redesigned for a more intimate cruising experience, ms Esprit offers a seamless combination of luxury and comfort as you glide along the Danube and Rhine Rivers... enjoy views of fairy-tale castles that line the riverbanks from the Sun Deck... gaze at picture-book villages while you dine at Compass Rose, or simply enjoy the camaraderie of fellow passengers in the lounge before heading out, ready for the adventures that lie ahead...
Dining
The Compass Rose
The main dining area, The Compass Rose, is also fitted with a buffet at one end of the dining room. Filled with a variety of regional dishes as well as some familiar faces (french fries and salad options with a large selection of dressings), it's perfect for those who want to get right into the days adventures.
Bars & Lounges
The Panoramic lounge and bar is the sole lounge. Sporting an extensive cocktail menu, grab a drink and join fellow passengers and sit on one of the many plush chairs and couches, taking in the breathtaking views of the river as it passes by. During cocktail hour, enjoy the soft and relaxing sounds of the piano as a pianist plays live music, radiating throughout the lounge as a perfect compliment to the days events that preceded.
Onboard Activities
Lobby
Aboard ms Joy, explore all that the ship has to offer including a large variety of onboard entertainment options such as enrichment lectures, nightly piano music, in-room movies, culinary demos, local entertainment and “themed” fun.
Outdoor Activities
Enjoy the luxuries of ms Joy while you sail along the river maybe, practice your putt on the sun deck putting green or, if the weather permits, step into the Jacuzzi, or maybe you just want to take in the sights of the passing European landscape from high noon to sunset.
Wellness
Fitness center and massages available.
