About ms Grace

ms Grace is a Tauck cruise ship of the Inspiration class, in service since 2016. She carries 130 guests with a crew of 50. She sails Rhine itineraries. We rate her 3.7 out of 5.

ms Grace is a 135-meter Inspiration class riverboat completed in 2016, a sister to ms Joy, and she sails mainly on the Rhine. Like the rest of the class she holds at most 130 guests in 67 cabins, including 22 Tauck Suites of 300 square feet that sleep up to three with a pull-out couch and eight loft cabins whose split-level layout brings more daylight to the lowest deck. An elevator serves every deck except the Sun Deck, and the 360-degree cabin photos in Tauck's online virtual tour were taken aboard her. Her schedule covers The Romantic Rhine between Amsterdam and Basel, Rhine Enchantment from Milan, the Rhine and Moselle, Belgium and Holland in spring, an Oktoberfest sailing to Munich and Christmas markets cruises at the end of the year.
