Two Raleigh Day Trips to Add to Your 2026 Calendar

National Harbor and Potomac Mills Experiences from Seat’s Taken Travel Co.

Sometimes you want to get away for the day without planning an entire vacation. You want to shop, enjoy good food, explore somewhere different, and return home without worrying about driving, traffic, parking, or coordinating multiple vehicles.

That is exactly why Seat’s Taken Travel Co. created two convenient motorcoach day trips departing from Raleigh in 2026.

Whether you are looking for a waterfront escape or a festive holiday shopping experience, you can choose the trip that fits your interests—or join us for both.

National Harbor Day Trip

Saturday, September 12, 2026
Departing from Raleigh, North Carolina
Seats beginning at $99

National Harbor offers a lively waterfront setting filled with restaurants, shops, entertainment, and scenic views along the Potomac River.

Once we arrive, travelers will have time to explore independently. You can shop, enjoy a leisurely meal, walk along the waterfront, take photos, or create an itinerary that fits your interests.

Eligible travelers may also choose to visit MGM National Harbor. MGM participation is optional, and guests entering gaming areas must be at least 21 years old and present valid government-issued identification. Gaming credits, FREEPLAY, dining offers, and MGM Rewards incentives are not guaranteed.

Because the National Harbor trip is approaching quickly, full payment is required when booking.

General public booking opens Sunday, August 16, 2026.

Potomac Mills Holiday Shopping Trip

Saturday, December 5, 2026
Departing from Raleigh, North Carolina
Seats beginning at $89

Get a head start on your holiday shopping without spending the day behind the wheel.

Potomac Mills offers an extensive selection of outlet, department, specialty, and dining options. Travelers can shop for holiday gifts, search for seasonal deals, enjoy lunch, or simply make a fun day of it with friends and family.

Everyone will be able to shop and dine independently before meeting the group for the return trip to Raleigh.

A limited number of early-bird seats will be offered, followed by regular and late-registration pricing. A $40 nonrefundable deposit option is available on qualifying early and regular packages, with the remaining balance due by November 14, 2026.

General public booking opens Monday, August 17, 2026.

More Than Transportation

Seat’s Taken Travel Co. was created for travelers who want convenience, connection, and thoughtful details.

Instead of worrying about directions, fuel, traffic, parking, or the late drive home, you can settle into your seat and enjoy the experience. These trips are especially convenient for solo travelers, friends, couples, families, and groups who want an easy way to spend the day together.

We take care of the transportation and group coordination so you can concentrate on enjoying your destination.

Reserve Your Seat

Seats are confirmed through payment—not by joining the priority list or submitting an interest form. Early pricing is limited and available on a first-paid, first-confirmed basis.

TravelJoy’s processing fee is added at checkout. Payments are nonrefundable unless Seat’s Taken Travel Co. cancels the trip. Complete terms, payment deadlines, and traveler requirements are provided during registration.
