Introducing even more of ACA’s Next Gen Teen Tours—a redesigned collection of unforgettable adventures designed for today’s teens to explore the world, discover new experiences, make lifelong friends, and create memories together.
Some tours will feel familiar. Others are brand new. And across the board, the 2027 lineup is designed to give students and families more choices when it comes to destinations, trip length, and age-appropriate adventures.
From the sun-soaked coastlines of Europe to the iconic landscapes of the American West, the next generation of ACA Teen Tours is ready to take off.
A New Generation of Teen Tours
For 2027, we’ve taken what students love about ACA Teen Tours and created new ways to experience the world together.
Our European lineup expands with a brand-new, shorter adventure, while we’re also expanding our Western lineup with new ways to explore the American West.
The expanded American Western lineup gives students more ways to experience the West, with options that vary by trip length and age group.
Whether you’re ready to go all in on a longer Western journey or prefer a shorter adventure along the Pacific coast, there’s a new way to explore the West with ACA in 2027.
European Adventures
European Riviera Adventure – 21 days
For students completing 9th–11th grades
The European Riviera Adventure is a familiar face in our 2027 lineup.
This is the same European Riviera Adventure students have experienced in previous years, continuing to offer an unforgettable journey through some of Europe’s most exciting destinations.
For students dreaming of European cities, Mediterranean coastlines, new cultures, and unforgettable experiences with friends, the European Riviera Adventure remains a classic ACA Teen Tour.
Want to make your summer even bigger? Students can add a Travel Extension to their adventure with a choice of two incredible European experiences: Greek Isles Extension or Croatian Coastal Extension. These extensions make it easy to turn an already incredible European adventure into an even bigger summer experience.

Introducing the New Western Adventures
These tours build on the spirit of the Western Pacific Adventure while giving students more options for how they want to experience the West.
Think Pacific coastlines, national parks, iconic cities, wide-open landscapes, and plenty of adventure along the way.
Here’s a quick introduction to the USA lineup.
Western Pacific Adventure – 30 days
For students completing 8th–10th grades
The Western Pacific Adventure serves as the inspiration and foundation for the new generation of ACA Western Adventures.
This is the longer, more expansive Western journey, reaching across a broad stretch of the American West including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
For 2027, the Western Pacific Adventure has been created as part of our new Western collection, offering students the opportunity to experience the full-scale Western adventure.
Want to extend the journey? Add the California Coastal Travel Extension and keep exploring after the main tour ends. Students can spend even more time experiencing the beauty, adventure, and iconic scenery of California’s coast.
It’s the perfect way to turn an already epic Western journey into an even bigger summer adventure.
