Tauck, the world's leading escorted travel and river cruise company, is delighted to announce the launch of two new 2018 American land itineraries, adding to its already extensive portfolio of exciting U.S. and Canadian journeys. These two additions, One Nation: The Tauck Washington, DC Event, a five-day itinerary and Mythic West: Montana, Yellowstone & the Tetons, an eight-day Western U.S. tour, are both produced in conjunction with the award-winning film maker, Ken Burns. Tauck and Burns have enjoyed a longstanding partnership since the launch of Tauck's Ken Burns American Journeys, which includes itineraries such as California's Gold Coast, Canadian Rockies & Glacier National Park and The Hudson Valley.

Tauck's new 2018 Mythic West: Montana, Yellowstone & the Tetons is an eight-day itinerary starting with a two-night stay in Billings, Montana. Guests will enjoy early admission to the Western Heritage Center, and a tour of the historic Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, before a two-night stay at Canyon Lodge inside Yellowstone National Park. Here, guests can explore the park's renowned wonders, including Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, wildlife-rich Hayden Valley, Lake Yellowstone and Fountain Paint Pot. Guests will spend the remaining three-nights at the Four Seasons Resort and Residences in Jackson Hole, taking in local heritage sites such as Snake River, Snake River Ranch and the National Museum of Wildlife Art, as well as attending talks by an American Indian artist and a wildlife photographer.

Along with Mythic West, Tauck and Burns will also be launching One Nation: The Tauck Washington, DC Event. The event has a single departure date scheduled for 20th-24th May 2018, with guests staying at The Willard InterContinental, a luxury landmark hotel in the heart of the city. The event will feature a personal appearance by Burns himself, as well as numerous small-group sightseeing trips exploring a different theme each day. As with all Tauck itineraries, there is a variety of exclusive insider experiences for guests to enjoy, including private guided tours of the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, Frederick Douglass' Home and the African American Civil War Museum. Guests will also tour iconic sites central to American culture and history, including the Lincoln Memorial; the World War II, Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans Memorials; and Arlington National Cemetery.

Tauck guests will continue to receive insider experiences during the evenings, with exclusive access to the National Archives, where they will enjoy a keynote address and cocktail reception with Burns and view the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Other evening events include a reception and dinner in the Newseum, a lecture by noted Abraham Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer and a farewell black-tie gala inside the opulent National Building Museum complete with music, dinner and dancing.

The Western U.S. tour and Washington, DC event are the latest developments in what has been a busy period for Tauck and Ken Burns. Other recent news includes two tours in Southeast Asia which are now included in The Ken Burns Journeys. Mythic West: Montana, Yellowstone & the Tetons and One Nation: The Tauck Washington, DC Event add to Tauck's already wide range of water and land itineraries, and with almost 100 years of experience, Tauck promises guests a trip like no other with unparalleled access to the most inspiring places and people.
