Tauck has announced its 2026 portfolio of North American land tours, and next year’s collection of trips includes three new journeys through the American West along with new itineraries in Mexico, Alaska, and Nova Scotia.

Two of the new Western US tours debut Tauck’s first-ever glamping experiences in the region with stays at Under Canvas West Yellowstone and ULUM Moab, reflecting Tauck’s ongoing commitment to refreshing and enhancing its portfolio.

“We operated our very first tour in North America 100 years ago this summer,” Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh said. “And since that time, we’ve never stopped innovating or improving our itineraries. For 2026, we’re thrilled to raise the bar and feature some truly fun and unique accommodations to help our guests connect more deeply to the places we visit.”

Tauck’s new eight-day Paradise Valley, Yellowstone & the Tetons itinerary spends Nights three and four at Under Canvas West Yellowstone, where guests can enjoy luxury safari-style tents near Yellowstone’s west entrance. Tented accommodations feature private bathrooms, wood stoves and front porches. Guests on Tauck’s new eight-day Wild, Wild West Family Adventure can enjoy a three-night stay at ULUM Moab. Accommodations feature suite-style tents with upscale amenities including king-size beds with Parachute linens and heated mattress pads. Each tent also features a comfortable lounge area with queen-size sofa bed, wood burning stove, evaporative cooler, private deck, and ensuite bathroom with rain shower, sink and toilet.

The third new tour in the region, Western Horizons: Mesa Verde to Moab, along with the Wild, Wild West Family Adventure tour, features an overnight stay at the Far View Lodge located in the heart of Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park. The Far View Lodge stay continues Tauck’s longstanding tradition of providing guests with inside-the-park accommodations and marks the company’s return to Mesa Verde for the first time in more than a decade. Tauck has been an ardent supporter of Mesa Verde National Park through past employee volunteer initiatives and grants to preserve and protect the park.

In all, Tauck offers 29 North America land tours in 2026, including four Tauck Bridges journeys designed specifically for families. Tauck is also expanding both its Small Group journeys averaging 24 guests, and Even Smaller Group trips averaging just 15 guests per departure. The company expects that more than 50 per cent of its North America land tour bookings for next year will be on either Small Group or Even Smaller Group journeys.

Tauck’s full lineup of new-for-2026 North America tours includes:

Paradise Valley, Yellowstone & the Tetons is an upscale eight-day journey through the American West that begins with two nights at Sage Lodge in Montana’s Paradise Valley. Guests then enjoy a subsequent two-night stay at Under Canvas West Yellowstone and an exploration of the park including Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris Basin and Old Faithful. Local wildlife is celebrated in visits to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center and Teton Raptor Center, and evenings bring highlights like a private fire pit with live music. The tour concludes with an exploration of Grand Teton National Park, refined accommodations at The Cloudveil in Jackson, and a farewell dinner at the Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse.

  • From $13,590 per person double occupancy, plus airfare.

Western Horizons: Mesa Verde to Moab is a nine-day journey through the American Southwest combining cultural exploration with scenic beauty. Guests can ride the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, go horseback riding, and unwind in Durango’s hot springs. A private tour of Mesa Verde offers access to ancient cliff dwellings. In Monument Valley, a Navajo-guided Jeep tour explores sacred terrain, followed by visits to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The adventure ends in Moab with Colorado River rafting or a museum visit, and a farewell dinner.

  • From $9,140 per person double occupancy, plus airfare.

Wild, Wild West Family Adventure is an eight-day exploration of the American Southwest designed specifically for families as part of the Tauck Bridges collection. Guests can explore cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde, hike in Arches National Park, and visit the Moab Giants dinosaur museum. The itinerary also includes a horseback riding excursion, Colorado River rafting and a chuck wagon dinner in Durango. With a luxury stay at ULUM Moab, the tour blends outdoor fun, cultural discovery, and family time in a spectacular setting.

  • From $9,990 per person double occupancy, plus airfare.

A Week in Mexico City and Oaxaca is an eight-day cultural journey through Mexico’s history, art, and cuisine. Guests can enjoy early access to the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, a private visit to Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, and an after-hours tour of the Museum of Anthropology. Highlights include visits to Teotihuacan’s pyramids, Xochimilco’s floating gardens and Monte Albán, along with a hands-on alebrije-making demonstration and a cooking presentation at the school of chef Alejandro Ruiz Olmedo.

  • From $10,590 per person double occupancy, plus airfare.

A Week In… Nova Scotia is an eight-day exploration of the picturesque seaside province, beginning with a welcome at Halifax’s Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Guests visit Peggy’s Cove, UNESCO-listed Lunenburg, and a replica of the ship Hector in Pictou, then explore Alexander Graham Bell’s legacy in Baddeck. Other highlights include an immersive First Nations experience, a visit to the Highland Village Museum, and a living-history tour of Louisbourg Fortress. A whale-watching cruise on the Bay of Fundy and a visit to Grand-Pré round out this enriching blend of history, nature and heritage.

  • From $7,290 per person double occupancy, plus airfare.
