Tauck’s small ship cruise offerings for 2027 include new voyages for the Galapagos Islands, as well as a new Baltic Sea itinerary. Tauck is looking to build on its success with unique, culturally rich itineraries, expanding offerings for travelers looking for small, curated cruises. New for 2027, Tauck will offer a Baltic Sea cruise, as well as additional sailings for returning favorites in the Galapagos, Aegean, and Iberia regions.
2027 Embark on the New Baltic Sea Itineraries on the Champlain
One new voyage Tauck will offer in 2027 is the Baltic Sea cruise. This 12-day cruise will take place on Ponant’s new cruise ship, Le Champlain, and will be a small-class cruise with fewer than 160 passengers. Travelers will be able to immerse themselves in the history and culture of Northern Europe as the cruise will stop in cities such as Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, Wismar, Gdańsk, Copenhagen, and Visby. This cruise is in high demand and is expected to sell out quickly.
A unique cultural experience on this journey is a Tauck-exclusive dinner at the famous Vasa Museum in Stockholm. Besides this experience, guests will participate in shore excursions, including a trip to the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Estonia and a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Visby and Lübeck. The Cruising the Baltic Sea itinerary will be educational and will cover a lot of history and culture, and give guests the satisfaction of small-ship cruising.
Improvements to Popular Voyages in the Galápagos and Peru
Besides the new itinerary on the Balt, Tauck has also made changes to the popular Hidden Galápagos & Peru itinerary. This trip, returning for 2027, will now feature improved elements aimed at creating a more seamless and luxurious travel experience. Of particular note, Tauck will now provide completely private charter flights for all tour-related air travel, making the journey more comfortable and personalized for all guests.
On this trip, guests will spend 7 nights on a cruise with the Silver Origin, a boat that accommodates a maximum of 40 people. The cruise will take them around the Galápagos Islands. On this cruise, guests will have the chance to take part in a lot of wildlife activities that will be guided by naturalists with years of experience working in that region. There is also a trip to Peru that is part of the cruise, in which guests will have the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery. This experience will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to a beautiful, remote location and will provide guests with the best comfort and ease during the cruise.
Aegean and Iberian Additions
If you want to experience the Mediterranean, Tauck is broadening its Aegean and Iberian itineraries, which are popular among experienced travelers. The Aegean Voyage: Athens to Istanbul has received two additional departures for 2027, which is excellent news for travelers hoping to see this stunning area of the world. For 14 days, travelers will have the opportunity to visit some of the most famous, historical, and culturally important cities and islands in the world on a small ship that is operated by Tauck. The cities and islands that they will visit include Athens, the Greek Islands, and Istanbul.
Additionally, Tauck will add two extra departures for Treasures of Spain and Portugal, providing an added opportunity for guests to travel to the Iberian Peninsula. This 13-day journey will now have select departures with Windstar’s Star Legend, one of the small and sumptuous cruise lines. The Treasures of Spain and Portugal itinerary will explore the most visually pleasing and culturally interesting parts of Spain and Portugal, including Lisbon and Porto, and the beautiful beaches of the Spanish coast.
Tauck Bridges: Family-Friendly Small Ship Cruises
Besides core small ship cruises, for 2027, Tauck will add two Tauck Bridges itineraries.
