Tauck has opened bookings for its 2028 Global Journeys & Safaris collection, including two new Asia itineraries. The collection builds on strong interest in the brand’s existing Japan itineraries, as well as broader momentum across its Global Journeys & Safaris portfolio, where sales for 2027 are up 9% year over year.
In Latin America, Tauck is also introducing eight-day itineraries in Peru and Costa Rica, expanding options for travelers seeking shorter international journeys.
Among its new offerings is an 11-day Spotlight on Japan & South Korea itinerary, the first offering from Tauck to combine the two countries. Guests stay at Conrad Seoul and Park Hyatt Busan in South Korea and at The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka and Waldorf Astoria Osaka in Japan. Highlights include Gyeongbokgung Palace and a Korean cooking demonstration in Seoul, the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Gyeongju, porcelain making in Arita, maiko entertainment in Osaka and Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park and Museum. An on-tour flight to Fukuoka is included, and departures operate March through May and September through November.
The second new Asia itinerary is the 12-day Best of Turkey. Guests spend three nights at Çırağan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul, with a Bosphorus cruise and visits to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, before a hot air balloon flight and a two-night stay at Avantgarde Refined Cappadocia. Three on-tour flights are included, and departures operate April through June and September through October.
Beyond Asia, Tauck is introducing two new eight-day land itineraries in Peru and Costa Rica.
A Week In…Peru includes a stay at Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness, along with a scenic train to Machu Picchu for a guided exploration of the ancient Inca citadel, an overnight stay at Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel, and two nights at JW Marriott El Convento Cusco. Additional experiences include a private horse show in the Sacred Valley and an introduction to Peru’s culinary traditions. Two on-tour flights are included, and departures operate April through June and August through October.
A Week In… Costa Rica begins in San José, and includes a visit to La Paz Waterfall Gardens before an included on-tour charter flight to Tortuguero National Park, where Evergreen Lodge provides a base for guided canal cruises and access to the region’s rich biodiversity. The journey continues to the Arenal Volcano region, with a stay at Tabacón Hot Springs Resort and experiences that include a choice of rainforest activities and time to enjoy the area’s natural thermal springs. The itinerary concludes on the Pacific coast with two nights at El Mangroove in Guanacaste, including a snorkeling cruise and a farewell celebration featuring traditional Costa Rican music.
Tauck is also introducing Women-Only Departures for 2028 on three Global Journeys & Safaris itineraries: A Week In… Peru, Spotlight on South Africa, Botswana, South Africa & Zambia and India’s Golden Triangle, Udaipur & Mumbai. Each operates as a Small Group departure led by a female Tauck Director.
