Tauck unveils 2026 North America tours with glamping and cultural gems

Tauck has announced its 2026 collection of North America land tours, introducing fresh experiences in the American West alongside new itineraries in Mexico, Alaska and Nova Scotia.

The expanded program includes 29 curated journeys, with a growing focus on small-group departures and unique accommodations that connect travellers more deeply to their surroundings.

Among the highlights are three new Western U.S. tours, two of which feature Tauck’s first-ever glamping stays — blending outdoor adventure with luxury under canvas in scenic locations like Yellowstone and Moab.

First-class glamping meets Old West charm

Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh said the new offerings reflect the brand’s century-long commitment to innovation.

“We operated our very first tour in North America 100 years ago this summer,” she said.

“For 2026, we’re thrilled to raise the bar with some truly fun and unique accommodations.”

In Paradise Valley, Yellowstone & the Tetons, guests will stay at Under Canvas West Yellowstone, enjoying safari-style tents with private bathrooms and stargazing porches. Families joining the Wild, Wild West Family Adventure tour — part of Tauck’s Bridges collection — will spend three nights at ULUM Moab, where suite-style tents feature king-size beds, rain showers and private decks.

Return to Mesa Verde and beyond

Tauck is also making a return to Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park for the first time in over a decade with Western Horizons: Mesa Verde to Moab. Guests will stay inside the park at Far View Lodge and enjoy private tours of ancient cliff dwellings, along with Navajo-guided Jeep excursions in Monument Valley, hot springs in Durango, and rafting near Moab.

In total, Tauck’s 2026 North America line-up includes four family-friendly Bridges tours, and a growing number of Small Group and Even Smaller Group journeys, designed to offer a more intimate, personalised travel experience.

New adventures in Mexico and Canada

Beyond the U.S., the tour operator is also launching two distinctive international itineraries:

  • A Week in Mexico City and Oaxaca blends cultural insight with culinary discovery, including private access to the Diego Rivera Mural Museum and Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, a cooking class with a local chef, and visits to Teotihuacan and Monte Albán.
  • A Week In… Nova Scotia is a coastal Canadian escape filled with natural wonders and local heritage, including whale watching on the Bay of Fundy, an immersive First Nations experience, and historic explorations of Lunenburg, Baddeck and Louisbourg Fortress.
