Tauck and Viking have become
the latest river cruise lines to get onboard with the trend of offering more active
shore excursions.
For its 2018 and 2019
departures, Viking is adding the option for guests to go canoeing in the
wetlands on the Elbe, Danube and Moselle rivers and on a tributary of the Seine.
Viking has also added bike and e-bike tours that are available in Austria's
Wachau Valley, among the windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands and through
Germany's Black Forest.
For its spring 2018 sailings,
Tauck is offering additional guided biking outings, hiking opportunities and
onboard yoga-inspired stretching classes.
