Normally on a Tauck departure, guests stay in a Sleeper Cabin Plus…
Sleeper Plus Class: Sleeper CabinThese typically include bunk-style beds. With comfortable armchairs that converts to the lower bed in the evenings, travel with complete comfort and privacy. Each cabin has its own private washroom, with toilet and sink. (The shower is shared down the hall). That is how Kelly and I stayed on this trip with Tauck in late 2022:
Prestige Class: Sleeper SuiteThe Prestige Sleeper cabin is 50% larger than the cabin for two in Sleeper Plus class. It features an extra-large window and has its own private washroom with shower. A modular leather L-shaped couch transforms at night into a Murphy bed for two, facing the window.
Kelly and I were able to tour the Prestige Class during our train ride, and we knew then and there that is how this trip should be done. So on this private departure, we all get Prestige!
