Tauck Announces Four New European Land Journeys for 2026

WILTON, CT (June 30, 2025) Tauck will launch four new European land journeys in 2026, expanding into less-visited regions of Greece, Scotland's picturesque Highlands, and quaint-yet-cosmopolitan Scandinavian capitals, with itineraries designed for both families and adult travelers. The expansion comes amid incredible demand in all three regions, with many of Tauck's itineraries there selling out completely in both 2024 and 2025.

"At Tauck, we've spent 35 years exploring Europe along its scenic 'Yellow Roads'—the lesser-traveled routes that reveal a destination's true spirit," said CEO Jennifer Tombaugh. "Our new journeys continue that legacy, offering unhurried, personal experiences that open doors to new perspectives, stories, and unexpected moments of connection."

In all, Tauck's portfolio of European land tours will expand to 53 itineraries in 2026, including seven Tauck Bridges journeys designed specifically for families. Tauck is also expanding its collection of Small Group journeys averaging 24 guests, and Even Smaller Group trips averaging just 15 guests per departure. For example, the company will offer Even Smaller Group departures of its recently launched A Week In... Piedmont in 2026. The eight-day Italian wine country exploration features stays at Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées overlooking Lake Maggiore and, visits to Alba, Gavi, and Langhe Vineyards, among other culinary delights.

Tauck's New-for-2026 Itineraries Include:

• Hidden Greece (From $8,990 USD* per person double occupancy, plus airfare) Tauck's 12-day Hidden Greece journey (Small Group, averaging 24 guests) ventures beyond Athens and the Greek Isles to explore northern treasures, mountainous interiors and stunning Crete.
