Dear National Trust Traveler,
In 1971, travel trends ran the gamut of ambitious to nothing
short of monumental. Amtrak service began with 21 routes, the
United Arab Emirates was established, Apollo 14 completed the
third successful U.S. mission to the moon and the Walt Disney
World Resort opened in Orlando. At the same time and with
great expectation, National Trust Tours launched its first foray
into affinity travel in epic fashion—aboard a National Historic
Landmark, the Delta Queen steamboat. Hundreds of destinations,
thousands of travelers and 50 years later, we’re still here!
Because of the trust and support of National Trust travelers,
we’ll spend this golden anniversary doing what we love—
continuing to provide moments that thrill, recollect, teach,
unite and invite you to remain curious about this wonderful
world of ours.
Plans are underway for our 50th anniversary in 2021, which will
include a series of special programs both stateside and abroad.
Please visit our website often for updates on these and all our
offerings. And while you’re there, sign up for our email deals.
Thank you for being a part of our (first) 50 years!
