Tauck has unveiled details of its 2027 Small Ship Cruising lineup, highlighted by a new Baltic Sea itinerary, along with enhancements to returning guest-favorite itineraries in the Galápagos and additional capacity in the Aegean and Iberia.
The company’s new Cruising the Baltic Sea itinerary features Northern Europe’s Baltic region aboard Ponant’s Explorer-class ship Le Champlain, carrying an average of fewer than 160 guests on each sailing.
The 12-day itinerary – priced from $12,990 USD per person, double occupancy, plus airfare — explores a region rich in history, culture and wild natural beauty, with calls in Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, Wismar, Gdansk, Copenhagen and the island of Visby.
Reflecting rising demand for Northern Europe and interest in cooler-climate destinations, the itinerary marks Tauck’s return to the Baltic region, known for its rich history, cultural diversity and less-traveled ports.
Highlights include a Tauck-exclusive special dinner at Stockholm’s Vasa Museum and immersive shore excursions such as visits to Estonia’s Memorial to the Victims of Communism, Poland’s European Solidarity Centre, and the UNESCO-listed old towns of Visby and Lübeck.
Guests will also enjoy special onboard enrichment with a dedicated special lecturer, and curated sightseeing in less-visited ports such as Lübeck, accessible only to smaller vessels.
Strong early demand has placed the itinerary close to selling out, underscoring continued momentum for Tauck’s small ship cruising portfolio as the company looks ahead to 2028.
Tauck CEO Jennifer Tombaugh said that: “Our small ship cruises continue to resonate with guests because they combine distinctive itinerary design, meaningful cultural access and a level of care that removes the complexity from travel.”
And Tombaugh added: “For 2027, we’re building on that foundation—introducing a long- anticipated new Baltic Sea itinerary while continuing to refine and enhance our most popular journeys.”
In all, Tauck will offer 22 small ship cruises in 2027 — including two Tauck Bridges itineraries designed for families — and will open reservations in March.
