Black Sea cruise/Le Levant/Tauck
 

Has anyone taken the Black Sea cruise with Tauck Tours on Le Levant? We are contemplating doing this May '10.

It was very grand. Great ship. Never got very close to other shipmates, but that could have been our fault. I like Tauck.

P.S. Went Aug-Sept 2008.

We took Le Ponant, the sister ship of Le Levant,from Naples to Malta last May, and it was fantastic. Part of it was because it was a sailing ship and it was awesome just to be on it, but in addition the food and service were excellent.
Le Levant happened to be in the same port as us one day and we got to tour it and it looked very nice. Because of having been on Le Levant and because we liked Le Ponant so much, we are taking Le Levant in mid-February along Panama and Costa Rica.
We have taken several land tours with Tauck that have been great as well and just booked another one for October.

This will be our 7th Tauck trip. The previous ones were all land tours and this will be our first cruise with Tauck. They have all been top notch. We've tried other tour companies but unfortunately Tauck has spoiled us!
