Roam by Tauck has opened bookings and debuted its full 2027 portfolio of journeys, expanding the brand to a total of 12 itineraries worldwide with the addition of seven new journeys designed for travellers in their 40s and 50s.
Following the successful debut of five journeys in 2026 and early enthusiasm for the emerging brand, the expanded collection across land, river and small ship cruising introduces seven new itineraries in Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Mozambique, Switzerland, Italy, Sicily and California.
“We’re seeing strong early interest in 2027 departures from our travel advisors, who are excited about the opportunity to introduce a new generation of guests to guided travel and to Tauck,” Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh said.
“These journeys are designed for travellers balancing full lives who want to recharge and reconnect, combining immersive experiences, exceptional accommodations, and the freedom to explore at their own pace, all supported by Tauck’s expertise.”
With its 2027 portfolio, Roam by Tauck brings this approach to a broader range of destinations across six continents, reflecting growing demand for greater flexibility and choice in how guests experience a destination. Designed for small groups averaging 16 guests, each journey features exclusive access made possible through Tauck’s global network, paired with a balance of guided experiences and free time.
Guests shape their days as they wish: joining guided excursions and cultural experiences, pursuing active adventures such as hiking, cycling or kayaking, indulging in exceptional regional cuisine, or unwinding at a renowned spa. Guests are supported throughout by a dedicated Roam Director – offering insight, recommendations, and assistance as desired – while allowing the space to explore independently and shape each day around their interests.
