❤️ Clue #3 ❤️

One of the things travelers love most about this tour isn’t just the places we visit, it’s the people we meet along the way.

At nearly every stop, locals are excited to share their stories, traditions, and communities with our guests. From small-town museums to family farms, this journey offers a deeper look at a part of America many travelers have never truly experienced.

And that’s what makes it so memorable.

We’re excited to launch a special Saturday series featuring brand-new adventures coming to CTD, beginning with a breathtaking journey to Norway’s fjords and Arctic coastline.

Timed for the Summer Solstice in 2027, this extraordinary experience takes you through Northern Europe beneath nearly endless daylight. You’ll explore dramatic fjords, colorful coastal villages, Arctic scenery, and landscapes shaped by centuries of Viking history.

Along the way, you’ll sail beyond the Arctic Circle, experience the glow of the midnight sun, and relax aboard the elegant MS Nieuw Statendam.

Your adventure also includes time in England and Scotland before embarking on an unforgettable Arctic voyage through some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.

We can’t wait to share more exciting new adventures with you in the weeks ahead.

Would you travel to Norway during the midnight sun season? 🌅

Our travelers are back from Authentic Arkansas (May 9–15, 2026) — and it looks like they had an unforgettable time exploring the Natural State together.

From scenic beauty and local culture to great food, music, and memorable moments along the way, this journey was filled with experiences to remember. We loved following along on their adventure and are so glad everyone made it home with wonderful memories and new friendships.

It’s not too late to experience Authentic Arkansas for yourself, we still have openings available for our October 17–23, 2026 departure!

We’re excited to introduce Sarah Gavin, who will begin leading tours with CTD this year!

Sarah will be leading our Pathways of Liberty tour this fall during our nation’s 250th anniversary year, making this journey through America’s historic landmarks even more meaningful.

“History has always been one of my favorite subjects, and I’m so excited to lead Pathways of Liberty this fall. There is something incredibly powerful about standing in the very places where pivotal moments in our nation’s history unfolded.

One of the experiences I’m looking forward to most is visiting Gettysburg with our travelers. There’s something deeply moving and sobering about being there and reflecting on the significance of what happened on those grounds.

I also think many travelers are surprised by how much history took place within such a small geographic area. Our country is so vast, yet so many defining events happened within this region where four states and our nation’s capital come together.

It’s an incredible opportunity to learn, reflect, and experience history together.”

There’s something timeless about rail travel. 🚂

Watching mountain landscapes, river valleys, and small towns unfold outside your window invites you to slow down, relax, and enjoy the journey in a different way.

Whether it’s experiencing New England’s fall foliage by rail or tracing the rugged beauty of Appalachia through West Virginia’s mountain railroads, these tours combine scenic rail excursions with comfortable accommodations, thoughtful touring, and unforgettable views along the way.

And with one new departure just added for New England in 2026 — plus a final opportunity to experience our West Virginia rail journey before it pauses in 2027 — now is the perfect time to start planning.

Which rail journey would you choose first? 🚞

Tracing the Trail of Lewis and Clark

“A highlight of my summer will be leading our CTD travelers on Tracing the Trail of Lewis and Clark. This epic 15 day journey begins in St. Louis and travels across the American West all the way to the Oregon coast.

I’m looking forward to sharing this adventure with our travelers and learning alongside them through the insights of our onboard historian, Lou Ritten.

Along the way, we’ll visit numerous sites connected to the Lewis and Clark expedition and travel through states that some of our guests may be visiting for the very first time, myself included.

It is truly an honor to experience one of the foundational events in our nation’s history with fellow curious CTD explorers.”

Christmas in New York City

“I am most excited to lead Christmas in New York City because I absolutely love the Big Apple. It is my second home. I tell travelers that I live in Chicago, and Chicago has my heart, but New York has my soul.

You can feel the energy of the city the moment you step onto the streets of Manhattan.

2026 will be my third year leading this tour, and what I look forward to most is helping travelers discover the softer side of New York City. New Yorkers are genuinely friendly and helpful, and I love sharing that experience with our guests.

I’m also excited for this year’s Broadway musical. While the show hasn’t been announced yet, Broadway is one of my greatest passions. I’ve seen 147 Broadway shows, and I’m always excited to add another Playbill to my collection. During our free evenings, I’m happy to help travelers find discounted tickets if they want to experience another show on their own.

One thing that often surprises guests is how easy New York City is to navigate. While we enjoy the comfort of our coach throughout the tour, I also love teaching travelers how to confidently use the subway system and understand the city’s grid layout so they can truly experience the energy of what I consider the greatest city in the world.”
