Cosmos Rolls Out New North America Tours for 2026
by Marsha Mowers
Guided travel is attracting a younger audience.
As interest in U.S. travel shows signs of softening, Cosmos is offering three brand-new itineraries for 2026—designed to make North America’s iconic landscapes, culture, and history more accessible than ever with pricing that starts at $325/day.
Itineraries range from discovering Utah’s otherworldly hoodoos in the Mighty Five national parks, to tracing the footsteps of America’s founders, to diving into the soulful sounds of Elvis and Dolly.
“These new North America vacations are packed with moments that matter – and priced to make the most of them,” said Stephanie Brooks, vice president, product and operations for the Globus family of brands. “At Cosmos, we believe the best stories don’t have to come with the biggest price tags. We’re proud to offer travellers access to some of the continent’s most iconic sights, cities and cultural treasures – all in easy-to-enjoy itineraries.”
