Tauck Launches First Smaller Group Tours With Just 15 Guests

D ue to the ever-increasing popularity of its Small Group tours, Tauck introduced its first Smaller Group tours through a pilot program. While the luxury tour operator’s Small Group tours average 24 guests per trip, the Smaller Groups Tours will average 15 guests.

“Tauck is piloting the new program in 2024, with the first Smaller Group departures of three tours (America’s Canyonlands,’ ‘A Week In… Spain’ and “A Week In… Ireland”) having operated in recent weeks,” the company said.

“In all, Tauck will pilot 26 Smaller Group departures spanning seven itineraries in North America and Europe this year, and all Smaller Group tours in 2024 will be special departures of existing Tauck itineraries.”

The Smaller Group tours are scheduled to be officially unveiled in 2025, in tandem with Tauck’s 100th anniversary . At that time, Smaller Group program will grow to incorporate 124 departures including 12 North America, Europe and Africa itineraries.

“As in 2024, 2025’s Smaller Groups will feature special departures of existing Tauck itineraries. However, the program will also feature three African safaris where all departures are Smaller Group offerings,” the company said.

“Although a large segment of our guests remain devoted to our classic group size, we’ve also seen incredible growth in our Small Group departures over the past several years,” said Tauck CEO Dan Mahar.

“More recently, some of our guests have shown increasing interest in even smaller group sizes. Our market research has zeroed in on an optimal group size of 12 to 20 among those interested in smaller groups, so our average group size of 15 travelers is right in the center of that sweet spot.”

On average, Tauck’s classic land programs host 35 to 44 guests.

Over the years, Tauck has built upon its “Small is Big” philosophy, which extends  beyond land programs.

As a case in point, ms Andorinha, which plies Portugal’s Douro River, accommodates 84 passengers. And in 2017 and 2018, the operator reconstructed four 110-meter river vessels from 118 to 98 guests. “Tauck’s four 135-meter ships have a capacity of just 130 guests each, far less than the 190 passengers (or 46 percent more) routinely carried aboard competitors’ ships of the same size,” the company said.

Tauck’s major partner is Ponant, features Explorer ships that carry 184 guests.

“Overall, 10 of Tauck’s small ship ocean cruises sail aboard ships carrying fewer than 200 guests, including three vessels that carry 100 passengers or less,” Tauck said.

Welcome to the South

Warm and gracious, Southern hospitality transcends time. You'll experience it at a traditional Madeira tasting in Savannah... in the sharing of folktales, Gullah-style... in Mississippi River country... and in the jazz music and flavors of étouffée that emanate from the French Quarter of New Orleans.

New orleans, louisiana, the birthplace of jazz and so much more....

"Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine – I look right in the heart of good old New Orleans... It has given me something to live for." These are the words of New Orleans native and jazz giant Louis Armstrong. "Satchmo" cut his teeth in his home town's celebrated French Quarter – an iconic place that will be forever identified as the capital of jazz, and just one of the fabled sections of this truly unique Louisiana city at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River. To us, New Orleans is a very special place… and our travels here offer a host of Tauck Exclusives including a private culinary demonstration & lunch at the New Orleans School of Cooking; a private streetcar tour along Canal Street and St. Charles Avenue, joined by a New Orleans resident; a private presentation on the unique environment of the New Orleans' basin; and a private jazz experience for Tauck guests only at Preservation Hall.

Charleston and Savannah

Explore two of the south's most elegant and intriguing cities – charleston, south caroline and savannah, georgia.

As one of America's oldest towns, Charleston, South Carolina is a history lover's delight, chock full of stories, secrets and mysteries. Search for them along her cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old homes that lead to the harbor, past walled gardens that whisper tales of pirates, soldiers and statesmen. Charleston's also a culinary hotspot, where you can dig into Low Country cooking in historic settings. A bit further south, Savannah – Georgia's "First City" – holds forth with a mix of warm Southern charm, elegant architecture, and a geometric city design featuring 24 park squares graced by live oaks draped with Spanish moss. One of the first planned cities in America, Savannah preserves more than a thousand significant buildings in its National Historic Landmark District, the country's largest… with Tauck, you'll visit it with an expert.

Blue Ridge Mountains

"almost heaven, west virginia... blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river...".

Part of the larger Appalachian Mountains range on the eastern seaboard of the United States, the Blue Ridge Mountains extend between Pennsylvania and Georgia, and encompass two major national parks – Shenandoah in the north, and Great Smoky Mountains in the south. The most visited national park in the US, Great Smoky Mountains comprises one of the most beautiful and oldest places on Earth – one of the world's best examples of a deciduous hardwood forest. In fact, the park is both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an international biosphere reserve. Scenically, from its mist-shrouded "smoky" mountains to its fresh streams and miles of forests, it's not only gorgeous, but the very definition of the word "vista." Learn more about these mountains and 19th-century wilderness life with period interpreters at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitors' center.

Washington, DC

Join us where the heart of american democracy beats....

More than a capital city, Washington, DC is where the ideas that founded our government and bind us together as a nation are forever expanded, redefined and debated… where America's key institutions, landmarks and monuments reflect the motto "E Pluribus Unum" – "out of many, one." Tauck's travels in the nation's capital offer perspectives on American democracy with views of such iconic Washington sights as the White House, Capitol Hill, the National Mall, the Washington Monument, and the Jefferson Memorial; a visit to the Lincoln Memorial and the poignant memorials to those who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War; a tour of the fascinating Newseum, exploring the role of a free press in a free society; and a Tauck Exclusive, early admission, behind-the-scenes experience at the National Archives, including a private viewing of America's founding documents… where the cornerstone of American democracy lies...

Preservation Hall, New Orleans

A tauck exclusive, private performance at new orleans' legendary preservation hall.

Situated in the heart of the French Quarter on St. Peter Street in New Orleans, Preservation Hall was established in 1961 to honor one of America's truest art forms – Traditional New Orleans Jazz. Operating as a music venue, a touring band, and a non-profit organization, Preservation Hall continues its mission today as a cornerstone of New Orleans music and culture – presenting intimate, acoustic traditional jazz concerts over 350 nights a year, featuring ensembles of local master musicians. And during the Tauck Jazz Event, you'll enjoy the rare privilege of a private performance for our guests only at legendary Preservation Hall!

Welcome to Canada

Canada is a country that feeds the souls of nature lovers and provides a depth of thinking to those culturally curious. From the rock candy mountains of Western Canada, to the sparkling European-flavored capital cities of the east, this is a destination we behold in our roots and continued to be inspired by.

Experiencing the best of eastern canada.

In Canada's eastern provinces, our ninety plus years of experience means introducing you to the breathtaking coastal landscapes of Nova Scotia's Cabot Trail. Or taking a cruise to feel the mists of Niagara Falls. It's about indulging in a Celtic "kitchen party" on Cape Breton Island and a cider tasting in Quebec. It includes rug-making and scallop traditions in the Maritimes, visiting Anne of Green Gables' backyard on Prince Edward Island, an evening at the Citadel in Halifax, and many more regional experiences in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.

Welcome to Western Canada

West and north of Canada's cosmopolitan capital cities lies some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, protected in stunning national parks dressed in jeweled lakes, iced mountains and wilderness playgrounds. Experiencing it with Tauck means stays in grand resorts, eye-opening walks on the wild side, and insights that inspire your daily discoveries. Whether you're exploring an icy glacier, peering at polar bears, flightseeing over the Gulf Islands or taking in the sights by rail, river raft, or from atop a lookout in the Canadian Rockies, Tauck's expert perspectives enrich the view.

Toronto, Ontario

Immersing in the multicultural mix of canada's largest city.

On the northwestern edge of Lake Ontario, Canada's largest city – Toronto, Ontario – offers a vibrant mix of markets, museums, green parks, great food, drink and jazz. With Tauck, a stay at one of the city's most popular hotels puts you at the center of it all...

Traverse the Welland Canal

A marvel of engineering two centuries in the making....

Comprising eight locks that enable ship traffic to travel between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario by bypassing the Niagara River and Niagara Falls, the Welland Canal is a 200-year engineering marvel that actually represents four successive canals. Originally designed and built in the 1820s, a second canal replaced it in the late 1840s, and a third opened in 1887. The construction on the fourth and current Welland Canal – which your ship on "Cruising the Great Lakes" will traverse in about 11 hours, accompanied by an expert guide – began before World War I was not completed until 1932 and expanded some 40 years later.
