We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the metric case of the maximum traveling salesman problem. One of them is for directed graphs and its approximation ratio is $\frac{27}{35}$. The other is for undirected graphs and its approximation ratio is $\frac{7}{8} - o(1)$. Both algorithms improve on the previous bests.
