Tauck’s investment in two new river boats for the Rhône and Seine in Europe is likely to be broadened to even more new ships, LATTE can reveal. Speaking with LATTE at Virtuoso Travel Week, Tauck’s President, Jeremy Palmer, alluded to further fleet expansion on the rivers.

Tauck will launch four new European land journeys in 2026, expanding into lesser-visited regions of Greece, Scotland’s Highlands and Scandinavian capitals, with itineraries designed for both families and adults. The company reports that the expansion comes amid “incredible demand” in all three regions, with many of Tauck’s itineraries is these regions selling out completely in both 2024 and 2025.

Three new journeys through the American West as well as itineraries in Mexico, Alaska and Nova Scotia have been added to Tauck’s 2026 portfolio of North American land tours.

The addition of two new itineraries to Tauck’s 2026 small ship ocean cruising line-up comes as the operator reported unprecedented success in the cruising category.

Tauck’s decision to shut down all of its operations for close to a week for a recent celebration of its 100-year milestone is a reflection of its dedication to its employees and partners, according to Managing Director Australia David Clark.
