New 2027 Tours: 13 New Ways to Experience the World with Boundless Journeys October 1st, 2026 • by Lori Lisai WHAT’S NEW FOR 2027? A challenging climb in the Himalayas. Walking through a landscape steeped in history. Sharing a local celebration beneath a sky filled with lanterns. Watching the moon pass across the sun. For 2027, Boundless Journeys is bringing all of these experiences to life (and more) with a new collection of journeys around the world. We’ve added destinations we’ve been eager to explore, fresh perspectives on places we love, and experiences designed around some truly extraordinary moments. Thirteen new journeys. Thirteen new ways to experience the world. NEW PATHWAYS THROUGH THE ALPS The mountains have a pace of their own. In Austria & Germany: The Art of Alpine Living, that pace is rooted in centuries-old traditions of wellness, craftsmanship, food, nature, and community. This restorative journey explores the landscapes and cultural practices of the Alps while creating space to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the art of living well. For travelers drawn to the trail, France & Italy: Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc offers eight days of hiking through one of Europe’s most legendary mountain landscapes. The route crosses France, Italy, and Switzerland, with nights in welcoming mountain villages and dramatic Alpine scenery along the way. And in Slovenia: Best of the Julian Alps, you’ll discover one of Europe’s most beautiful mountain regions, with glacial lakes, forested valleys, alpine villages, and the peaks of Triglav National Park. We’ve been hiking through the Alps for decades. These tours are a fresh perspective on these iconic mountains. WALK THROUGH HISTORY Some landscapes carry centuries of stories. Greece: The Soul of Crete brings together the archaeological treasures of civilizations beneath your feet, a formidable foodie culture, tiny mountain villages full of artisans, and awe-inspiring landscapes of an island whose history reaches back thousands of years. In France: Normandy & Brittany, hiking and cultural exploration lead through two regions shaped by pivotal moments in European history. Along the coast and through historic villages, you’ll encounter D-Day beaches, Mont Saint Michel Bay, and a balance of coastal charm and World War II history in one unforgettable journey. And Ireland: The Northern Coast Trek follows one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the country, with hiking along the Causeway Coast, the Gobbins Cliff Path, Rathlin Island, and into the rugged landscapes of Donegal. Here, you’ll discover poignant tales of emigration to the living traditions of the Gaelic-speaking heartlands. These journeys invite you to experience history with your feet on the ground, surrounded by the landscapes where those stories unfolded. CHALLENGE YOURSELF WITH A BUCKET LIST HIKE For travelers who dream about the world’s great mountain ranges, 2027 brings two extraordinary new opportunities. Nepal: Everest Lodge to Lodge Trekking follows trails through the legendary Khumbu region, with nights spent in mountain lodges and days immersed in Himalayan landscapes and Sherpa culture. You’ll climb to 15,000 feet on this epic hiking adventure. If you want to kiss the sky, our Tanzania: Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro tour will take you to 19,345 feet. You’ll scramble the storied Barranco Wall, hike by headlamp under the starry sky, and accomplish an unforgettable feat. Each hike brings its own rhythm, terrain, culture, and extraordinary sense of accomplishment, and they’re not for the feint of heart. EXPERIENCE THE SOUL OF A PLACE Travel becomes especially meaningful when you have the opportunity to experience the traditions that shape everyday life. On our Bali: Island of Legend tour, hike through emerald rice terraces, explore ancient temples, watch the sunrise from Mount Batur, soak in volcanic hot springs, and try your hand at traditional cooking and silversmithing. Leave feeling a sense of calm and deep understanding of this beautiful place. In Tanzania: Safari & Culture of the Northern Highlands, combine glimpses of elephants, lions, and hippos with a visit to a local school, a coffee-growing experience, and time spent with communities in the northern highlands. This journey brings you closer to both the wild and human sides of Tanzania. PLAN AROUND AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT Some journeys have a moment that becomes the centerpiece of the entire experience. On July 27, 2027, a total solar eclipse will cross Morocco, and we will be there. Our Morocco: Solar Eclipse & Northern Highlights journey is designed around this rare celestial event, with time to explore Morocco’s mountains, cities, villages, markets, and cultural heritage along the way. In Thailand, Lantern Festival & Lanna Kingdom coincides with the spectacular Yi Peng and Loy Krathong celebrations. Lanterns rise into the night sky while candlelit offerings float along the water, creating a deeply memorable introduction to the traditions of the Lanna region. See it all for yourself on Thailand: Loy Krathong Festival and Lanna Kingdom Highlights. And in Germany & Austria: Christmas Markets and Winter Traditions, follow the scent of gingerbread, cinnamon, roasting chestnuts, and mulled wine through some of the Alps’ most enchanting Advent markets. Travel by first-class rail through snowy mountain landscapes, visit a glassmaking workshop, and sail across Lake Constance aboard a Christmas Ship for a holiday journey filled with Alpine charm. WHERE WILL 2027 TAKE YOU? Maybe you’re craving mountains. Maybe you’re fascinated by history. Maybe you want to celebrate beneath a sky full of lanterns, witness a solar eclipse from Morocco, discover the traditions of Bali, experience different holiday traditions, or simply find a beautiful place to slow down. When we thought about what 2027 could bring alongside our Boundless Classics, we went looking for new ways to experience the world. We think you’ll find some beautiful opportunities in the thirteen new additions. Where will your 2027 adventures begin?
