Tauck has opened bookings for five inaugural journeys with its new Roam by Tauck brand.
The itineraries, curated specifically for travelers in their 40s and 50s, offer the opportunity to explore such locations as France, Mexico, Spain, Budapest and more via journeys that feature flexible, small-group travel and VIP access. The company is expecting to follow the initial five trips with 12 more itineraries by 2027.
"Since introducing Roam by Tauck in August, we've heard tremendous enthusiasm from travel advisors who recognize this fills a meaningful gap in the luxury travel market," Jennifer Tombaugh, Tauck CEO, said in a statement.
"We designed these journeys for travelers who lead dynamic, fast-paced lives and want a guided experience that still feels personal, less structured, and yet entirely effortless,” Tombaugh added.
Here’s a closer look at the five newly announced itineraries that will debut in 2026.
