Published on July 1, 2025

Tauck has unveiled four exciting new land journeys to Greece, Scotland, and Scandinavia as part of its expanded European portfolio for 2026. These new offerings bring the family-owned premium tour operator’s European collection to an impressive 53 itineraries. As Tauck celebrates its 100th anniversary this July, these new tours are designed to meet the growing demand for lesser-visited regions and offer travelers a chance to experience untouched natural beauty, rich culture, and authentic European destinations.

New Tauck Itineraries for 2026: Exploring Greece, Scotland, and Scandinavia

For 2026, Tauck introduces four new journeys that cater to those seeking immersive cultural experiences in regions that remain relatively underexplored by mainstream tourists. These new land journeys include the 12-day Hidden Greece, the 8-day Greek Odyssey: Family Edition, the 8-day A Week In… Copenhagen & Oslo, and the 8-day Legends of Scotland.

The expansion of the portfolio is a response to the increased demand for these regions, with many of Tauck’s existing itineraries selling out quickly for 2024 and 2025. As Tauck continues its tradition of offering personalized travel experiences, the new tours promise unhurried travel, offering a deeper connection to each region’s culture and history.

Tauck’s Legacy of Exploring Lesser-Traveled Roads

For 35 years, Tauck has explored Europe’s ‘Yellow Roads’—the lesser-traveled routes that reveal the true spirit of the continent. These new itineraries stay true to this legacy by focusing on off-the-beaten-path destinations, offering travelers the chance to connect with local communities and experience moments of personal reflection and unexpected beauty.

Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh explained: “At Tauck, we’ve spent 35 years exploring Europe along its scenic ‘Yellow Roads’—the lesser-traveled routes that reveal a destination’s true spirit. Our new journeys continue that legacy, offering unhurried, personal experiences that open doors to new perspectives, stories, and unexpected moments of connection.”

New Tauck Journeys in Greece: Hidden Greece and Greek Odyssey

The Hidden Greece itinerary invites travelers to explore Greece’s lesser-visited corners, far from the crowds of popular tourist spots like Santorini and Mykonos. This 12-day journey takes guests through remote villages, ancient ruins, and idyllic landscapes of Greece’s mainland, offering a deep dive into Greek culture, history, and untouched nature. This itinerary is perfect for those seeking a more authentic experience, where you can visit archaeological sites and enjoy the serenity of quaint seaside villages.

For families looking to explore Greece in a more interactive and educational way, the Greek Odyssey: Family Edition is an 8-day adventure tailored for families with children. This itinerary combines hands-on experiences, like visiting ancient monuments and Greek cooking classes, with the chance to explore Greece’s stunning beaches and landscapes. It’s an ideal way for families to bond while enjoying Greece’s rich cultural heritage and outdoor adventures.

Exploring Scandinavia with Tauck: Copenhagen and Oslo

In Scandinavia, Tauck has introduced two new exciting itineraries that showcase the best of Copenhagen and Oslo. The A Week In… Copenhagen & Oslo tour is a perfect blend of modern urban exploration and traditional Scandinavian charm. The 8-day journey allows travelers to immerse themselves in the distinctive culture and stunning architecture of Copenhagen—a city known for its modern design, vibrant streets, and historical sites—and Oslo, the Norwegian capital, with its spectacular fjord views, museums, and outdoor activities.

This itinerary highlights the natural beauty of the Scandinavian landscape, as well as the cultural richness of two of the region’s most beautiful cities. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy local gastronomy, visit art galleries, and take in the stunning Nordic architecture that makes these cities so unique.

The Legends of Scotland: A Journey Through the Highlands

For those interested in the cultural and natural beauty of Scotland, Tauck is offering the Legends of Scotland tour.

Guests will experience Scotland’s rich folklore, legendary castles, and breathtaking views, including the chance to explore Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye.

This journey brings travelers into the heart of Scottish heritage, offering them the chance to explore iconic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle, while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Scottish Highlands.
