When many travelers think of escorted tours and river cruising, Europe often comes to mind first. And while the Globus Family of Brands has built a world-renowned reputation for unforgettable European vacations, today’s travelers are discovering that the world is much bigger and more exciting than they ever imagined.
From the misty peaks of Peru to the wildlife-filled plains of Africa, from the vibrant cultures of Asia to the breathtaking landscapes of Australia and New Zealand, the Globus Family of Brands invites you to see the world your way through three exceptional travel experiences: Globus, Cosmos, and Avalon Waterways.
The World is Waiting
The Globus Family of Brands has spent decades helping travelers explore every corner of the globe. Whether you’re dreaming of ancient civilizations, vibrant cultures, incredible wildlife, stunning natural landscapes, or world-famous icons, there is a journey designed to bring those travel dreams to life.
Today, travelers are looking beyond traditional destinations and embracing the opportunity to discover some of the world’s most fascinating regions. From South America and Africa to Asia and the South Pacific, the possibilities are nearly endless.
Discover South America’s Natural Wonders
South America offers some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet. Imagine standing before the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, exploring the Sacred Valley of Peru, or venturing into the spectacular landscapes of Patagonia, where glaciers, rugged mountain peaks, and crystal-clear lakes create unforgettable views.
Travelers can experience the energy of cities like Buenos Aires, Lima, and Santiago while also discovering remote natural wonders that have captivated explorers for generations. Whether seeking adventure, culture, history, or scenery, South America delivers an extraordinary journey.
Experience the Magic of Africa
Few travel experiences compare to an African safari. Watching elephants roam freely across the savannah, spotting lions in their natural habitat, or witnessing a spectacular African sunset are moments that stay with travelers forever.
Beyond the wildlife, Africa offers rich traditions, welcoming communities, fascinating history, and natural wonders such as Victoria Falls. Whether exploring South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, or Zimbabwe, travelers will find a continent filled with remarkable experiences and unforgettable memories
Explore the Wonders of Asia
Asia continues to capture the imagination of travelers seeking culture, history, cuisine, and incredible landscapes. Walk along the Great Wall of China, discover Japan’s perfect balance of tradition and innovation, explore Cambodia’s ancient temples, or wander through Vietnam’s vibrant cities and riverside communities.
The diversity of Asia makes every journey unique. One day you may be exploring centuries-old temples, and the next you could be immersed in bustling markets, world-class cuisine, and modern city skylines.
Australia and New Zealand: Adventure at Every Turn
Australia and New Zealand offer a perfect combination of natural beauty, vibrant cities, and unforgettable experiences.
Discover Australia’s iconic landmarks, beautiful coastlines, unique wildlife, and the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef. Then journey to New Zealand, where dramatic mountains, pristine lakes, rolling vineyards, and charming towns create one of the world’s most picturesque destinations.
These destinations have become increasingly popular with travelers looking for immersive, bucket-list experiences that combine adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery.
Cruise Beyond Europe with Avalon Waterways
While Avalon Waterways is famous for its European river cruises, many travelers are surprised to learn that incredible river cruise experiences extend far beyond Europe.
Avalon’s Mekong River cruises through Vietnam and Cambodia provide an intimate glimpse into local life, culture, and history. Guests enjoy spacious Panorama Suites, immersive excursions, and the opportunity to experience some of the world’s most fascinating destinations from a truly unique perspective.
For travelers who enjoy unpacking once while exploring deeply, Avalon offers a remarkable way to see the world.
Globus, Cosmos, and Avalon: Three Ways to Explore
Whether you choose the premium touring experiences of Globus, the exceptional value of Cosmos, or the award-winning river cruises of Avalon Waterways, you’ll enjoy expertly planned itineraries, local insights, and the confidence that comes from travelling with one of the most trusted names in travel.
From the Canadian Maritimes and Peru to Japan, China, Africa, Vietnam, Australia, and Patagonia, the Globus Family of Brands continues to open doors to some of the world’s most incredible destinations.
Why Travelers Love the Globus Family of Brands During Winter
While Canadians may be digging out from snowstorms and chilly temperatures, many of the world’s most exciting destinations are experiencing their best travel season. Winter is the perfect time to escape to the summer sunshine of Australia and New Zealand, embark on an African safari, cruise the Mekong River through Vietnam and Cambodia, or explore the wonders of South America.
For travelers who prefer culture over beaches, winter is also an excellent time to visit destinations throughout Asia, where comfortable temperatures make sightseeing even more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to trade snow for safari sunsets, winter boots for hiking trails, or icy mornings for tropical river cruising, the Globus Family of Brands offers countless ways to make the most of the season.
