Luxury tour operator, Tauck, is marking its 100th
anniversary, the 35th in Europe with new land tours in Switzerland,
Italy, France and England.
The four new land tours were announced as Tauck’s business
in Europe is surging. The continent continues to be the company’s most
popular destination, and 2025 bookings to Europe are up double-digits,
percentage wise, over 2024 bookings at this time last year. Tauck will offer 39
land tours to Europe in 2025, including five Tauck Bridges itineraries designed
specifically for families.
“Tauck will be 100-years-young in 2025, but we’re certainly
not slowing down in any way,” said Tauck CEO Dan Mahar. “In fact, our
commitment to innovating and enhancing our global portfolio of land tours,
river cruises, small ship ocean cruises, and Tauck Bridges family adventures is
stronger than ever.”
Additionally, Tauck’s
Small Group departures averaging only 24 guests offer more intimate and
interactive engagement. Also, for 2025, Tauck is boosting shoulder season
departures by 50 percent primarily in October and November.
Expanding our shoulder season departures – and hosting more
of our guests in Europe during the spring and fall – is a true win-win that
benefits everyone,” said Mahar.
