Tauck has opened bookings for its 2027 North America portfolio, adding two new national park itineraries, Yellowstone Awakens: Spring & Fall and Bryce & Zion: Sculpted by Time. The announcement comes as interest in the nation’s parks continues to surge, with presales tracking 13 percent ahead of 2026.

The 6-day Yellowstone Awakens: Spring & Fall Small Group journey, limited to an average of 24 guests, explores Yellowstone National Park during spring and fall, when wildlife activity peaks and crowds are lighter. Guests spend four nights inside the park at the historic Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and take part in two morning safaris through Lamar Valley led by naturalist guides. Exclusive experiences include a private visit to the Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center and an evening session with a Native American artist. Departures are set for May, October and November, starting at $4,790 per person, double occupancy, plus airfare.

The 7-day Bryce & Zion: Sculpted by Time itinerary spans southern Utah’s canyon country, combining Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks with stops in Snow Canyon State Park and Kodachrome Basin. Guests stay two nights each at Black Desert Resort near Snow Canyon and Clear Sky Resorts near Bryce Canyon, where glass-domed accommodations offer open views of the night sky. In Zion, the group tours the canyon aboard a private tram and stays at Hotel De Novo in Springdale near the park entrance. Highlights include a guided slot canyon walk, a visit to Windhorse Wisdom and a stargazing experience. Rates begin at $6,990 per person, double occupancy, plus airfare.

Tauck: A Walk Through Time

Tauck has been leading travelers through Yellowstone since 1934, when it operated a 7,000-mile route from the Chicago World’s Fair through the West. Today, the company runs programs across more than 44 national parks and monuments. Its itineraries feature both in-park lodging, such as Yellowstone Awakens, and near-park stays like the safari-style tents at Under Canvas on Paradise Valley, Yellowstone & the Tetons and the tented accommodations at ULUM Moab on the Wild, Wild West Family Adventure.

For 15 years, Tauck has partnered with filmmaker Ken Burns and writer Dayton Duncan, resulting in more than 100 short films and the Crafted by Tauck and Ken Burns itineraries. Its one-time Celebrating America’s 250th event, featuring a keynote with Burns and after-hours access to the National Archives, sold out quickly after release.

The company’s 2027 lineup includes 36 North America journeys, five family-focused Tauck Bridges trips and the A Week In… Mexico City and Oaxaca itinerary. A reimagined Seaside New England: Boston, Cape Cod & Newport adds an extra day in Boston, a full-day trip to Nantucket and after-hours access to The Breakers mansion in Newport.
