Tauck will offer small-ship ocean cruises from New York City to Quebec City aboard Silversea's Silver Shadow in the fall of 2023, furthering its partnership with Silversea.
The new 13-day “Shores of Eastern Canada and New England” itinerary will include three departures north from Manhattan to Quebec City along with three trips south, all in September and October of next year.
Tauck has also included in its portfolio a cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage, as well as a 15-day "Great Alaska" combo, which combines an overland trip with a seven-night cruise.
“We have seen tremendous interest in our Alaska and Great Lakes programs and are thrilled to expand our U.S. cruise offerings for next year with this wonderful new voyage,” said Tauck CEO Dan Mahar.
Tauck's new itinerary begins with an included night at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square, followed by a day of guided sightseeing in Manhattan. Guests then embark on the Silver Shadow that afternoon for a 10-night cruise to Quebec City, with stops in Newport, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island), and Saguenay (Quebec) before arriving in Quebec City. There, guests will explore the city on a sightseeing tour before venturing out to Île d'Orléans and Montmorency Falls. The trip concludes with a farewell reception, dinner, and overnight stay at Quebec City's iconic Château Frontenac.
Although Tauck guests will share time aboard the Silver Shadow with other Silversea passengers, they will enjoy a noticeably different experience, according to CEO Mahar. Their prices include hotel stays and sightseeing tours in both Manhattan and Quebec City as part of their standard itinerary. In addition, Tauck offers 100% of its shore excursions at no extra charge—excursions designed and operated exclusively by the company.
The year 2023 will mark Tauck's 30th anniversary of offering ocean cruises on small ships, and next year the company will operate more than 100 sailings across 18 small-ship cruise itineraries exploring North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Antarctica, and the Arabian Peninsula on a fleet of 16 different ships. Tauck already operates other cruises aboard select Silversea vessels, such as the Silver Origin and the Silver Muse.
