Tauck will add a wellness program to two departures of its 10-day Rendezvous on the Seine journey in 2027. The company’s October 14, 2026 announcement, highlighted by Cruise Industry News on October 18, identifies July 28 and October 11 as the first dates.

Both departures will use ms Serene and travel round trip from Paris through Normandy. Wellness coach Nikki Polos will host the additional activities, which focus on movement, food choices and time to relax. Participation is optional, and the existing sightseeing program remains in place.

The ship’s facilities include a river-view fitness center, massage room and outdoor pool. Tauck plans to fit the new sessions around destination visits, so passengers can choose their level of involvement without signing up for a dedicated fitness retreat.

Five more wellness departures are planned for 2028, with details still to come. Travelers interested in the first sailings should check the named dates rather than assume the program is available on every Seine departure.
