Tauck and Globus Family Load Up 2027 with Bookable Inventory on the Same Day

Tauck is expanding its Women's Only Departures from three itineraries to seven for 2027, each led by a female Tauck Director with an average group size of 24 — small enough to feel personal, large enough to keep per-person costs in check. Five new European departures cover France's Champagne and Alsace (exclusive Moët & Chandon dinner), two Italy itineraries (Piedmont wine country; Tuscany/Cinque Terre/Portofino), Portugal, and Scandinavia, alongside the returning southwestern England trip. The headliner for advisors hunting a new conversation is the program's first North American departure: Canada's Capital Cities & Niagara Falls, a 10-day loop through Ottawa and Quebec City opening June–October 2027. All seven are fully inclusive — transfers, most meals, sightseeing, exclusive experiences — at a single upfront price. That combination of female-only environment, verified small groups, and no hidden costs is a ready-made pitch for the solo-female traveler segment, which remains one of escorted touring's fastest-growing client profiles.

The Globus Family of Brands has released its complete Asia and Africa 2027–28 program with all departures open for booking today. Japan is the commercial centerpiece, offered at two distinct price tiers that give advisors a built-in upsell path within the same brand family: the value-oriented Cosmos Classic Japan: Land of the Rising Sun with Seoul (15 days, Seoul to Osaka, from $17,344 per couple for the August 6, 2027 departure) and the premium Globus Majestic Japan with Seoul & Osaka as a Small Group Discovery (16 days, capped group, sake tasting, Fushimi Inari). South Korea, Sri Lanka, and China round out the Asia slate. On the Africa side, the program adds Uganda gorilla-tracking and Namibia to existing wildlife offerings, serving advisors whose clients want something beyond the standard Kenya/Tanzania circuit. The practical message: Small Group Discovery departures run at capped sizes, so the open-for-booking window now is the moment to capture inventory before it tightens.
