About ms Inspire
ms Inspire was the first of Tauck's 135-meter Inspiration class riverboats, christened in Basel on April 3, 2014, by four Tauck Cruise Directors serving as godmothers. Her design set the pattern for the class: no more than 130 guests where similar hulls take nearly 200, 22 suites of 300 square feet, and loft cabins on the lowest deck with a raised sitting area and windows that open. She was renovated in 2020 and carries a crew of 50. Tauck now sails her mainly on the Rhine, on The Romantic Rhine, Rhine Enchantment, the Rhine and Moselle, Castles on the Rhine family departures and Christmas markets cruises from Basel, with spring sailings through Belgium and Holland.
