WHALE WATCHING

COPPER CANYON, MEXICO 

SO YOU CAN JUST ENJOY 

WE HANDLE ALL THE DETAILS. 

Globus escorted tours come with ultimate peace of mind as you travel without worrying about the details. Because of our volume buying power, 

you enjoy unmatched value when it comes to your hotels, transfers, inside visits of must-see attractions, and flight prices. You even have the 

chance to personalize your trip with extra days and additional optional excursions. 

THE PERFECT HOTELS 

Great trips deserve great accommodations 

in great locations, so that’s what we deliver 

…every time. At the end of each busy day of 

sightseeing, all you have to do is step off 

your motorcoach and into the hotel lobby. 

No wrestling with suitcases or standing in line. Your Tour Director 

handles check-in, hands you your key, and your baggage is delivered 

right to your guestroom. We even take care of porterage gratuities 

for you. And with your hotels often within mere steps of North and 

Central America’s greatest attractions, you’ll never waste precious 

vacation time getting to the sites you want to see most. For example, 

we put you right on the Las Vegas “Strip” so you’re in the middle of 

everything this spectacular destination offers after dark! 

THE BEST WAY TO GO 

Getting from here to there can really add 

to the fun, so we employ a wide range of 

transportation. From high-speed trains to 

ferries and boats, your magical journey will 

enhance your overall experience. 

GET MORE THAN A “TASTE” 

OF YOUR DESTINATION 

Nothing reveals a destination like its food— 

and Globus makes mealtime convenient and 

fun! Start each day with a hearty included 

breakfast. Enjoy free time on your own to 

sample the local fare. Culinary highlights are tailored to each vacation 

and may include farewell dinners, food and wine tastings, and fine 

dinners at local restaurants where we know dining is a major attraction. 

How about… 

■ a special brewers’ dinner with food-and-beer pairing at one of 

Portland’s renowned breweries 

■ lunch at a “juke joint” in the heart of the Mississippi Delta 

■ a Mayan cooking demonstration during a breakfast of local 

specialties in Uxmal, Mexico 

■ a salmon bake that incorporates traditional Coquille Indian tribe 

techniques

INTRODUCTION GLOBUS NORTH AMERICA ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

WE’VE SPENT THE LAST 89 YEARS 

PLANNING YOUR VACATION 

OUR STORY BEGAN NEARLY 

NINE DECADES AGO 

When you select a Globus vacation, you’re choosing a company 

that has defined the way today’s travelers experience the world. It 

all began on a spring day in 1928. While using his family’s rowboat 

to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland, 

Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories of his 

home with others. He soon began transporting tourists instead… 

and Globus was born. 

COMMITTED TO OUR PLANET 

We’re committed to protecting the places we visit. By employing 

environmentally friendly motorcoaches and partnering with 

preservation and sustainability initiatives, we’re working to ensure 

the world’s icons will be here to thrill travelers for generations to come. 

TourismCares.org 

For 2017, Globus has targeted several iconic 

destinations for preservation/restoration funding. 

To learn more, go to GlobusJourneys.com. 

THE WORLD’S MOST HIGHLY AWARDED TOUR OPERATOR 

When you do things the right way...for the right reasons, people 

notice. By delivering an outstanding travel experience and focusing

Like Days 2 to 8 of Tour AI. 

FROM $1,040US 

NOTE: The aurora is most active late at night or early in the morning when the sky is clear 

and the air chilly. Viewings are scheduled from 10 pm–2 am. While the aurora is frequently 

seen in February and March, it is up to Mother Nature to create the special conditions in 

order to witness this phenomenon. Purchasing a pre-night in Fairbanks is recommended 

due to the late-night/early morning viewing hours required to see the aurora borealis.

with your traveling companions for a welcome drink. Your Tour Director

DAY 2 JACKSON–YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. 

Your day begins in the nearby National Elk Refuge with a fun and 

exhilarating included SLEIGH RIDE. As many as 10,000 elk 

congregate here each winter, the largest concentration of wintering elk 

in the world. Your sleigh will travel among these magnificent creatures 

for a truly up-close experience. Be sure to keep your camera ready 

as we watch for other wildlife that’s in residence this time of year, 

including wolves, coyotes, moose, bison, trumpeter swans, hawks, 

and even bald eagles. Departing Jackson, we travel through GRAND

the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, enjoy a box lunch in a warming hut 

before proceeding to Upper Falls and thundering Lower Falls, which are 

nearly twice the height of Niagara. Have your cameras ready, because 

winter is the perfect time to spot bison, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, deer,

This Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site protects a 

unique ecosystem in an ever-changing glacial landscape. Witness the 

spectacle of thunder and flying spray as huge slabs of ice break off and 

“calve” into the sea—making for lasting memories. National Park rangers 

accompany the ship, adding expert commentary to the day’s events. 

HAINES 

Nestled on the shores of America’s longest fjord, Haines enjoys a 

spectacular setting. You may choose to take a float trip through Chilkat 

Bald Eagle Preserve, home to the largest annual gathering of bald eagles, 

or maybe visit the Sheldon Museum, art galleries, or local shops in town. 

INSIDE PASSAGE (SCENIC CRUISING) 

Sit back and relax as you cruise through the beautiful and awe-inspiring 

scenery of the Inside Passage. Keep your cameras ready for spouting 

whales, soaring eagles, barking seals, and other wildlife. 

JUNEAU 

Visit one of the most remote capital cities—Juneau. Accessible only by 

air and water, Juneau is located at the base of two towering mountains 

in the heart of Alaska’s Inside Passage, and is home to a rich Gold Rush 

history, Native culture, wildlife, and a wealth of natural wonders. Shop for 

gold nuggets, visit the stately Governor’s Mansion, saunter through the 

swinging doors of the historic Red Dog Saloon, or visit mighty Mendenhall 

Glacier, an impressive river of ice that is 12 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. 

KETCHIKAN 

Experience Native Alaska firsthand. Meet the spirits of the raven, whale, 

and eagle as you view the largest collection of totems in the world at 

Saxman Totem Park or Totem Bight State Historic Park. Or, explore Creek 

Street, now home to contemporary art galleries and quaint boutiques. 

SITKA

capital of Russian America for 100 years. Experience “life under the czars” 

with majestic, onion-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral, the Sheldon Jackson 

Museum (housing prized Russian and Indian artifacts), and a lively 

performance by the New Archangel Dancers. 

SKAGWAY 

Once a major port for gold prospectors who passed through en route to 

the Yukon, today you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon Route 

narrow-gauge railway up past Deadhorse Gulch to see what it was like 

ages ago. Step back in time as you stroll the wooden sidewalks of the 

town, preserved as a U.S. National Historic Park. 

TRACY ARM (SCENIC CRUISING) 

This narrow, 26-mile-long fjord is another of Alaska’s most dramatic glacier 

settings. The lush rainforest recedes to reveal a stunning canyon of bare 

rock. The panorama of 7,000-foot mountain peaks and nearly vertical rock 

cliffs is astounding. Waterfalls appear at every turn. Icebergs make their 

way to the sea in all sorts of wondrous shapes. And tucked away at the 

end of this remarkable waterway are two very active reminders of the Ice 

Age—the twin Sawyer Glaciers, which calve icebergs into the jade-colored 

inland sea. Kittiwakes, mountain goats, and seals are a common sight. 

Whales and bears may even make an appearance in this magical place. 

VICTORIA 

Experience a bit of Britain in this Canadian city with its unique blend of Old 

World charm and New World experiences. Boasting the mildest climate 

in Canada, the city is green and beautiful year round. You’ll find history, 

architecture, colorful gardens, and traditions like Afternoon Tea mixed with 

an abundance of outdoor adventure, world-class culinary experiences, and 

a vibrant art and culture scene. Visit world-famous Butchart Gardens, stroll 

along the Inner Harbour, or maybe sample some of Canada’s finest brews.

fine art. It showcases buildings from around New England and New York, 

including an 1890 railroad station, a lighthouse, a stagecoach inn, and

PASSAGE THROUGH NEW ENGLAND 

& EASTERN CANADA 12 DAYS US & CANADA EAST

streets in Lower Town by the St. Lawrence River and the historic Plains of 

Abraham. (B,L,D) 

DAY 7 SCENIC CRUISING: GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE. 

Québec City marks the start of Saguenay Fjord. This 200-mile-long

Cavendish and visit the famous Anne of Green Gables homestead. (B,L,D) 

DAY 9 SYDNEY. 

So green and Gaelic is Cape Breton Island that Scotsman Alexander 

Graham Bell called it home for the last 37 years of his life. In fact, Cape 

Breton was principally settled by Highland Scots whose families had 

come out on the wrong side of rebellions against the Crown. You can still 

see this heritage in the accents in some remote villages—and in the great

along the scenic Cabot Trail or visit historic Louisbourg Fortress, which 

recreates life in French-occupied Canada. (B,L,D)

Valley. Arrive at 8 am and overnight in Maui. (B,L,D) 

DAY 6 MAUI. 

Another day in paradise offers you the flexibility to enjoy one of the many 

beaches that surround Maui. For early risers, consider an excursion to 

view Haleakala Crater at sunrise. This adventure takes you to the top of 

the Haleakala volcano, the “House of the Sun,” rising more than 10,000 

feet above sea level. Marvel at the crater’s eerie, lunar-like landscape 

of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely 

amazing. Depart for the “Big Island” at 6 pm. (B,L,D) 

DAY 7 HILO. 

Larger than Hawaii’s other main islands combined, the Big Island of 

Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. Pristine 

beaches, curious lava formations, the Earth’s tallest sea mountain, 

and the world’s most continuously active volcano all make this island 

a completely unique adventure. The entire day is open to independent 

activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore 

excursions, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow 

Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls that cascade into a circular pool in the 

Wailuku River—as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in 

the mist. Then, experience the fascinating drive along the 11-mile Crater 

Rim to enjoy a unique view of this volcanic landscape. Arrive in Hilo at 

8 am and depart for Kona at 6 pm. (B,L,D) 

DAY 8 KONA. 

You’ll enjoy a morning arrival in Kona. Choose a helicopter ride for a 

bird’s-eye view of Kilauea Volcano’s active areas, ranging from surface 

flows to skylights to bubbling lava. After a brief return to Hilo’s airport, 

take to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii’s lush rainforest and 

Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, 

discover the historic city of Kona along Hawaii’s beautiful sun-drenched 

Gold Coast. Your route will take you past ancient temples, fields of 

coffee and macadamia nuts, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Arrive in 

Kona at 7 am and depart for Kauai at 5:30 pm. (B,L,D) 

DAY 9 KAUAI. 

The “Garden Isle” of Kauai has a lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle 

all its own. After all, it is Hawaii’s oldest island and, as first-born, has a 

legacy of paradise to uphold. A trip around Kauai is a feast of tropical 

forest, cascading waterfalls, golden-sand beaches, swaying palms, 

majestic mountains, and almost-daily rainbows. A full day of activity 

awaits your participation. You may choose an excursion to enjoy the 

dramatic natural attraction of 2,857-foot-deep Waimea Canyon and a 

ride up the Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. Arrive at 10 am and 

overnight in Kauai. (B,L,D) 

DAY 10 KAUAI. 

Today is the perfect day to relax and enjoy the sandy beaches of Kauai 

or to shop for souvenirs before departing for Honolulu at 2 pm. (B,L,D) 

DAY 11 HONOLULU (DISEMBARKATION). 

Arrive in Honolulu at 7 am. Disembarkation usually begins two hours 

after docking. The trip ends this morning with guests departing on

DAY 3 CHICHEN ITZA. EXCURSION TO EK’ BALAM & RIO LAGARTOS. 

Today we visit the enormous and elaborate pyramid inside the Mayan site 

of EK’ BALAM. Meaning “black jaguar,” Ek’ Balam was at the height of its 

importance as a Mayan city during the Late Classic Period (600-900 AD). 

When the Mayas abandoned the site, it went undercover as the dense 

low-lying jungle of the Yucatán engulfed it. Found by archaeologists

90,000 pink flamingos and 400 other bird species. Learn about the

building dedicated to the high priest; and the CENOTE SAGRADO, the 

sacred well once filled with priceless treasure offered to the gods. Later,

DAY 6 CAMPECHE–UXMAL. 

This morning’s city tour includes visits to the vibrant malecon (waterfront) 

area, the historic fort of SAN FRANCISCO DE CAMPECHE, and the

spent the last few years restoring hundreds of downtown buildings, 

making it one of the most photogenic colonial cities in all of Mexico.

exciting SOUND & LIGHT SHOW, full of magic and mystery. (B,D) 

SPECIAL FEATURE: Your home for the next two nights is the Hacienda Uxmal. Set

This morning, a unique COOKING DEMONSTRATION is in store for 

you. Here you will learn the traditions still practiced in most of the rural 

Mayan communities. Learn about the special ingredients and spices 

used, how the food is prepared, and then enjoy a delicious meal with new 

friends. Then, visit the most famous ruins of the Puuc region, UXMAL. Its 

architecture is considered one of the masterpieces of the old civilizations. 

Later, visit the CHOCO-STORY MUSEUM, where you’ll learn the history 

of coca, its importance to the Mayans, and see how chocolate was 

prepared using an ancestral recipe. You’ll even have the chance to

MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK 

DAY 1 ARRIVE IN SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA. 

Upon arrival, you will be met by your Tour Director, who will help you 

check into your hotel. 

DAY 2 SAN JOSÉ –POAS NATIONAL PARK–ARENAL. 

Depart San José on the Pan-American Highway, stopping to see the 

monument to Juan Santamaria, Costa Rica’s national hero who is credited 

for saving Costa Rica from William Walker’s campaign to overthrow the 

country in 1856. Continue through farming areas into the cooler cloud 

forest climate. Arrive at POAS VOLCANO, where you will have up-close 

views of the enormous crater with its deep, green lake; perhaps you will 

even see one of its sporadic geyser-like eruptions. Take a short nature walk 

with your guide through nearby trails and learn about different ecosystems 

and species found in this national park. Next, stop at DOKA COFFEE 

PLANTATION, which has been producing coffee for three generations, for 

a coffee tour that takes you from seed to cup. Start in the coffee fields, 

continue to the processing plant and roasting plant, and end with a tasting 

session. See firsthand how a red coffee cherry transforms into the perfect 

cup of coffee. After lunch, continue to Arenal, home to ARENAL NATIONAL 

PARK and the volcano of the same name. Relax at your hotel this evening 

by taking a dip in the resort’s natural hot springs. (B,L) 

DAY 3 ARENAL. EXCURSION TO ARENAL HANGING BRIDGES & 

TABACÓN HOT SPRINGS. 

Today will be spent exploring Arenal and its vast primary rainforest, 

and learning about its rich biodiversity. Venture into the jungle canopy 

on the ARENAL HANGING BRIDGES, which consist of 15 bridges 

suspended in the treetops and allows your Naturalist to point out various 

species of plants, birds, butterflies, monkeys, sloths, and other animals 

commonly found here. On a clear day you will get a 360-degree view 

of the tropical rainforest, as well as stunning views of Arenal Volcano. 

Later today, visit the world-famous TABACÓN HOT SPRINGS. These 

natural hot springs feature a hot river that flows through a series of pools 

of varying temperatures. The hot springs are the result of rainwater 

heated by magma in the Earth’s interior that then rises to surface, taking 

with it minerals found in the Earth’s crust. Enjoy time to relax in the 

waters that are so beneficial to your skin and body. Later tonight, enjoy 

an included dinner at the springs. (B,D)

7 DAYS CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA 

Caribbean Sea 

DAY 4 ARENAL–TÁRCOLES–MANUEL ANTONIO. 

Today after breakfast, depart for Manuel Antonio, stopping en route for 

a TROPICAL MANGROVE CRUISE. Enter the Guacalillo Estuary for a 

cruise down the Tárcoles River, home to one of the largest crocodile 

colonies in the world. Along with your Naturalist, cruise through the 

mangrove that provides an important nesting site for birds, including 

the beautiful scarlet macaw whose brilliant colors (bright orangered 

plumage with touches of blue and yellow) and long, pointed tail 

and wings make them easy to spot as they fly overhead. As the boat 

approaches the riverbanks, you will get an up-close look at wild 

crocodiles up to 15-feet long. The Tárcoles River has been recorded to 

have between 80 and 240 crocodiles per mile of river! Keep your eye out 

for other fauna often spotted along the cruise, like iguanas, monkeys, 

sloths, and more. Continue to the Pacific Coast and the town of Quepos, 

gateway to Manuel Antonio. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant this 

evening. (B,D) 

DAY 5 MANUEL ANTONIO. EXCURSION TO MANUEL ANTONIO 


Spend the morning in MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK, known for 

its stunning white-sand beaches backed by evergreen tropical forests. 

With your Naturalist, explore the park, filled with beach vegetation, 

lagoons, mangrove swamps, 109 species of mammals, and 184 

species of birds. Spend time at the park’s beaches, taking a swim or 

searching for sloths, iguanas, monkeys, and millions of colorful marine 

creatures that call this region home. The remainder of your day is at 

leisure. (B) 

DAY 6 MANUEL ANTONIO. 

Today is free to explore the area on your own. Some options include 

a jungle hike, horseback riding, canopy tours, snorkeling, deep-sea 

fishing, and much more. Tonight your Tour Director hosts a special

NOTES: 

The “Cuba’s Charming Colonial Cities & Havana” program requires 

walking on cobblestone streets and uneven pathways, climbing stairs, 

and participating in a full-time schedule of people-to-people activities. 

Due to the special requirements to visit Cuba, participants will be 

required to complete visa application and travel reservation forms and sign 

an affidavit confirming that they are traveling under a people-to-people 

license and are aware of the travel rules. Participants are also required 

to send a copy of their passport photo page. These items must be sent 

to Globus within 7 days of making a reservation. 

In Cuba, activities that have been scheduled far in advance can 

sometimes become unavailable for a number of different reasons. 

The purpose of the trip is to have meaningful interactions with the locals 

and if the planned people-to-people educational exchange isn’t available, 

rest assured that another that will be just as enriching will be substituted.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO 

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU GET 

OUR ITINERARIES TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT’S INCLUDED 

Read our tour descriptions and you’ll understand the real value we offer. 

Each day’s agenda is spelled out, with inside visits and special features 

indicated in UPPERCASE, so you know exactly what’s included in the price. 

HAND-SELECTED HOTELS 

Excellent accommodations are vital to your enjoyment on vacation, and 

we’re proud to be associated with some of the world’s finest hotels, most of 

which are deluxe (D), superior first-class (SF), first-class (F), moderate firstclass 

(MF), or national parks (NP). In remote areas, there may be no hotels 

available in these categories, so we choose the best available (BA) hotels. 

Each hotel is rated by our quality controllers following standards set by the 

independent Hotel & Travel Index and by national tourist boards. Hotels are 

listed on itinerary pages, although it may be necessary to substitute with an 

alternate hotel of equivalent standard. Your travel documents will list hotel 

addresses with telephone numbers, plus you can find more details on our 

website. 

INCLUDED MEALS 

With Globus, mealtimes are designed to help you enjoy the best of each 

city along the way. Start each day of your vacation the right way—with an 

included breakfast! The type of breakfast you’ll enjoy is specified in each 

itinerary. Lunch and dinner highlights are tailored to each vacation and 

may include welcome and farewell dinners, as well as lunches and dinners 

at local restaurants to give you a true taste of your destination. Plus, we 

give you freedom to take advantage of the best a city has to offer by not 

including lunches and dinners where dining locally is a major attraction. 

NOTE: We typically cannot process requests for special meals. Some hotels and 

restaurants may be able to provide for a special diet—vegetarian, salt-free, etc.— 

but there is no way to guarantee this and if available, there may be an additional 

charge associated. Please ask your Tour Director for assistance. 

THE FINEST TEAM OF TRAVEL EXPERTS 

With Globus, you benefit from the expertise we bring to every vacation. 

We set very high standards and are dedicated to selecting the right 

Tour Directors, Local Guides, and Local Hosts. These experts are from 

the region through which you’re traveling, and they share their vast 

knowledge of the areas and help you maximize each moment. Beyond the 

professionals you meet on tour are the men and women working diligently 

behind the scenes. Our extensive technical support network carefully 

monitors vacations in progress, ensuring your trip goes smoothly and 

allowing us to deliver unique, quality travel experiences every time. 

TRAVEL IN STYLE 

When you step aboard your Globus private motorcoach you’ll be immediately 

impressed by the comfort and amenities: an emergency restroom; free Wi-Fi in 

North America (where available); and reclining seats equipped with individual 

air-conditioning vents, high-fidelity speakers so you won’t miss a moment of 

Tour Director commentary, and extra leg room. While other companies install 

and sell 53 seats, our average group size is just 39 travelers, so you’ll enjoy 

more seat space. For the comfort of all passengers, our motorcoaches are 

non-smoking, however, there are opportunities to smoke during the frequent 

stops. We also have a custom of daily seat rotation to ensure everyone 

benefits from a variety of views.

LOW AIR-INCLUSIVE PRICES & FREE AIRPORT TRANSFERS 

Good reasons to book your flights with the Globus family of brands: 

■ Free airport transfers ■ Air coordinated with vacation dates ■ Competitive prices without the hassle 

COMPETITIVE PRICES 

As a completely independent tour operator, we have no ties to any one 

airline. We have negotiated the lowest possible airfares with the world’s 

finest carriers on behalf of our travelers. Plus, Globus’ buying power means 

generally better rates for you. 

AIR OPTIONS 

Globus offers two air options: Flex-Air and Instant Purchase Air. Flex-Air 

allows flexibility if you want to make changes to your vacation schedule. 

Instant Purchase Air may offer additional airline options but has more 

restrictions. Air-inclusive price quotes will include all government-imposed 

taxes and fees applicable at the time of booking and will be shown as a Total 

Amount. (Please see “Applicable airfare taxes & fees” section that follows). 

GUARANTEED AIR-INCLUSIVE PRICES 

Flights are only available to passengers traveling from the United States 

and only when booked in conjunction with a land vacation (i.e., air-inclusive 

vacation). An additional non-refundable $300 flight deposit is required for 

Flex-Air bookings. Instant Purchase Air requires air payment in full at time 

of booking plus a non-refundable service fee ($30 per person for North/ 

Central America, $50 per person for Europe/Middle East, $80 per person 

for all other international destinations). Once booked, Instant Purchase Air 

is non-refundable and non-changeable. Some vacations may only offer one 

air type option. However, once your airfare is confirmed and Globus has 

received your full air and land deposit, your air-inclusive vacation price is 

guaranteed.* 

Globus reserves the right to ticket passengers upon receipt of full land 

and air deposit; thus, any subsequent changes and/or revisions to airline 

reservations at your request after receipt of full land and air deposit are 

subject to revision fees and/or airline-imposed change or cancellation fees. 

Generally, these fees are up to $300 but in some instances, may be up to 

100% of the ticketed price. Please ask if any such charges apply before 

making changes, as all changes at your request are payable by you. 

*Please see the Terms & Conditions for full information on our Pricing 

Policy and applicable guarantees, as well as deposit, final payment, and 

cancellation terms. 

APPLICABLE AIRFARE TAXES & FEES 

Air-inclusive price quotes will include all government-imposed taxes 

and fees applicable at the time of booking and will be shown as a Total 

Amount. Additional airline fees for baggage may apply and are not 

included in the total amount. Please refer to our website or carrier websites 

for current baggage pricing information. For return travel from some 

countries, international travelers are required to pay entry and/or exit fees 

at the airport. These fees will be collected by the local government and 

are payable by the traveler at time of travel. Your confirmation booking 

information will contain information about these fees. 

BUSINESS CLASS/PREMIUM ECONOMY UPGRADES AVAILABLE 

Business class and/or Premium Economy upgrades may be available for 

purchase. Please inquire at the time of booking for applicable price quotes. 

NOTE: USA connection flights typically do not have upgraded cabins 

available in conjunction with international upgraded service. 

FREE AIRPORT TRANSFERS 

When you book your Globus tour air-inclusive, transfers from/to the airport 

to/from your start/end hotels are included on brochure dates. This can be 

a substantial savings, as a taxi transfer in some cities is as much as $85 

each way. Transfers will be provided only if confirmed by Globus. Look for 

confirmation of your transfer in your important travel documents. 

HASSLE-FREE BOOKING 

With Globus, think of your entire vacation as one-stop shopping. Rather 

than spending hours researching flight options to coordinate with your 

vacation dates, let us handle the work. And when we book your flights, 

if there are any changes to your vacation schedule, we make the flight 

changes for you. 

SELECTING YOUR FLIGHTS 

In most cases, you’ll be offered a choice of carriers and flight schedules 

as well as price points to choose from when selecting your flights. Your 

schedule will be provided to you at the time of booking (schedules are 

subject to change by carriers). Since seats for our low-cost airfares fill 

quickly, we urge you to book early. Air-inclusive reservations cannot be 

made later than 10 days prior to departure. Additional rules may apply. 

Ask your Travel Consultant for details. 

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) SECURE FLIGHT 

REQUIREMENTS 

Due to increased travel security around the world, the Transportation 

Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect this information in 

accordance with the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. Department 

of Homeland Security. If the name on the airline reservation does not 

exactly match the first, middle, and last name on the passport, you may 

not be allowed to board the plane. It is also important that this information 

be provided correctly at the time of booking, as any changes to your 

flight booking, which includes spelling, could be subject to a change fee, 

penalties, higher fares, new schedule, and/or cancellation. Secure Flight 

Passenger Data (SFPD) includes name as it appears on the governmentissued 

ID the passenger plans to use when traveling, date of birth, gender, 

Known Traveler, and Redress Number (if applicable). This information is 

required within 10 days of booking air with the Globus family of brands. 

RECEIVING YOUR ETICKET 

Your eTicket receipt is published within your travel documents and will 

be received by your Travel Agent two to three weeks prior to vacation 

departure. For late bookings, travel documents, including the eTicket 

receipt, are sent after final payment is received. Special service requests 

such as special meals may be done by your Travel Agent directly with the 

air carrier. 

Please retain your ticket copy and boarding passes in the event you 

need them later for proof of your flights (to accumulate frequent flyer miles, 

for example). We are unable to supply ticket copies after your return. 

WE ALSO ACCEPT YOUR RESERVATION ON A LAND-ONLY BASIS 

While booking your vacation air-inclusive gives you all the advantages 

described here, you can also choose the land-only option. Travelers who 

make independent flight arrangements on regularly scheduled direct 

flights (but not chartered flights) may reserve our airport transfer service. 

Please contact your Travel Consultant about restrictions, availability, and 

prices at the time of booking and fax (303.703.7060) or send a photocopy 

of your air itinerary with arrival and departure flights and dates, plus your 

Globus invoice number, to the Globus Transfer Department. Flight details 

should be sent apart from other correspondence or payment and must be 

received no later than five weeks prior to departure.

Instant Purchase Air payment and service fee, and/or 

intra-vacation air deposit or payment. 

17. For individual reservations, the following per 

person cancellation fees apply for cancellations 

within final payment date. Total price does not include

air is non-refundable after final payment. 

26. Cancellation fees may also apply to any additional 

services, including extra night accommodations, 

independently supplied services, and optional excursions 

reserved prior to, during, and after the tour. If flight 

changes, including but not limited to flight cancellations 

or name changes, are requested after full land and air 

deposits are received, revision fees, change fees, or 

airline cancellation fees will apply (see “Revision Fees” 

below). In many instances, airline revision or change fees 

can be up to $300, but in some instances may be up to

100% of the ticket price. Cancellation penalties will be 

quoted at time of cancellation. Intra-vacation air is nonrefundable 

after final payment. 

TOUR CANCELLATIONS 

27. Globus reserves the right to cancel or reschedule 

any vacation departure for any reason, including 

insufficient demand or force majeure. If a vacation is 

canceled prior to departure, Globus’s only responsibility 

will be to refund the amount received for the reservation. 

Globus will try to rebook the same vacation with a 

different departure date, or a similar vacation, but 

there is no guarantee of availability of offering. For 

air-inclusive vacations, Globus will try to confirm air 

schedules for the selected new dates, subject to 

availability. Globus cannot assume responsibility for any 

additional costs or any fees relating to the issuance and/ 

or cancellation of air tickets or other travel arrangements 

not made through Globus. 

REVISIONS & REVISION FEES 

28. In addition to any airline-imposed change fees, a 

fee of $30 per transaction will be charged by Globus 

for any alteration or revision made to a reservation after 

deposit is received. Any revision to a booking, including 

but not limited to flight cancellations or name changes, 

may result in the loss of confirmed airline reservations 

or increased airfare, which will be payable by you. In 

many instances for Flex-Air purchases, airline revision 

or change fees are up to $300, but in some instances 

may be up to 100% of the ticket price. Instant Purchase 

Air and associated service fees are non-refundable and 

non-changeable after 24-hours from purchase; thus, 

alterations or revisions to a booking with Instant Purchase 

Air will require new air to be purchased, and is subject to 

full payment, as above. 

29. Intra-vacation air and hotel penalties may also apply 

to alterations or revisions to a booking, and may be up to 

100% of the full price. 

30. A change of traveler name, vacation date, or itinerary 

within final payment will be treated as a full cancellation 

and new reservation; vacation and airfare cancellation 

fees, as above, apply. 

AIR ARRANGEMENTS 

31. Airfare may be purchased through Globus for travel 

originating from the United States. All carriers are 

independent operators and are not owned, managed, 

or operated by Globus. Your airline ticket is a contract 

between you and the air carrier only, even if you purchase 

through Globus. By purchasing your air services through 

Globus you waive all liability for Globus for such air 

services. 

32. Globus is not responsible if an airline cancels, 

reschedules, or delays a flight for any reason. If you 

purchased air through Globus, we will try to assist in 

making new arrangements, providing you have not 

already checked in with your airline for your first flight 

segment. After check-in, you must work with the airline 

directly to reach your destination or to make any alternate 

arrangements, including amendments to return services. 

Airline fees often apply for modifications to air schedules 

not related to airline-imposed flight cancellations, 

reschedules, or delays. These fees will be payable to the 

airline directly at time of request. 

33. If you miss your departure flight or connection, it is 

your responsibility to work with the airline on which you 

are ticketed to reach your destination. No refunds will 

be provided by Globus for portions of trips missed due 

to canceled, rescheduled, or delayed flights after airport 

check-in, nor is Globus responsible for any additional 

expenses you may incur prior to joining your trip if you 

miss your departure flight or flight connection. 

34. For air purchased through Globus, if any air schedule 

requires an overnight stay in a gateway city, Globus can 

assist you with hotel reservations; however, the cost 

of the overnight stay (including but not limited to hotel 

and meals) is your expense. Air routings are subject to 

availability. Routings are not guaranteed and are subject 

to change at any time. 

35. If you make your own flight arrangements, Globus will 

not be responsible for any loss resulting from cancellation 

or changes in international gateways, itineraries, or travel 

dates. We recommend that you do not purchase airline 

tickets with high penalty charges for changes. 

TSA AIRLINE INFORMATION 

36. Under the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation 

Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect 

information from you for the purposes of Watch List 

matching. TSA may share information you provide with 

law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under 

its published system of records notice. At time of booking 

a vacation with air reservations, Globus will collect the 

required information and add to your air booking to 

pass to the airline(s) for the Secure Flight Program. The 

information includes full name, date of birth, gender, 

Known Traveler, and Redress Number (if available). 

Failure to provide the required TSA information at time 

of booking will result in the loss of confirmed flights and 

airfare price, as information is required for ticketing. 

Rebooking lost airfare is subject to schedule availability 

at time of rebooking and may result in alternate flight 

schedules and/or increases in airfare price. Any increase 

in airfare price is payable by you. 

INSECTICIDE 

37. Some countries may require aircraft cabin insecticide 

treatment for inbound foreign flights. For more 

information about aircraft disinfection requirements and 

a list of countries requiring disinfection of i-bound flights, 

visit http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/policy/safetyenergyenv/ 

disinsection.htm. 

FREQUENT FLYER REWARD PROGRAMS 

38. Frequent Flyer mileage accrual is at the discretion 

of the airline(s), and is not always granted for airfare 

purchased through Globus. You will need to contact 

the airline(s) directly for information on Frequent Flyer 

Programs and any applicable reward mile accrual. Globus 

cannot assist with this process. Cancellation penalties, as 

noted above, will apply to all airfare, regardless of accrual 

grants. Take this into consideration before purchasing 

airfare. 

ENGLISH 

39. All Tour Directors, Group Leaders, Local Hosts, Local 

Guides, and ships’ crews speak English, and all vacation 

commentary is conducted in English only. For maximum 

enjoyment and understanding, you should be able to read 

and speak English. 

AUTHORITY TO REMOVE OR REFUSE PASSENGERS 

40. In the sole discretion of Globus, Globus may 

refuse transport to any passenger or may require any 

passenger to leave the tour if it is reasonably believed 

that the passenger (1) is dangerous to others or to 

himself or herself; (2) has engaged in, is engaged in, or 

is threatening to engage in behavior that may adversely 

affect the safety, security, comfort, enjoyment, or wellbeing 

of other passengers or Globus representatives, 

including, but not limited to, behavior that is disruptive, 

verbally abusive, physically abusive, obnoxious, 

harassing, discriminatory, or obscene; or (3) has failed 

or refused or is failing or refusing to following Globus’s 

rules and procedures or the instructions of Globus or its 

representatives. In the event a passenger is removed, 

such passenger may be left at any city without any 

liability to Globus or its representatives. Globus shall not 

be required to refund any portion of the price paid by 

any passenger who is removed under the terms of this 

paragraph, nor shall Globus be responsible for expenses 

for lodging, medical care, meals, transportation, or any 

other expenses incurred by the passenger. Globus shall 

be entitled to recover from the passenger any costs or 

expenses incurred by Globus or its representatives in the 

removal of the passenger or the exercise or enforcement 

of this clause. 

TRAVELERS WHO NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE 

ON TOUR AND/OR CRUISES 

41. You must report to Globus any disability requiring 

special attention while on tour or on cruise at the time 

the reservation is made. Globus will make reasonable 

attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled 

travelers, but is not responsible in the event it is unable 

to do so nor responsible for any denial of services by 

air carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent 

suppliers. Globus cannot provide individual assistance 

to a vacation participant for walking, dining, getting on 

and off coaches, cruise ships, and other vehicles, or 

other personal needs. A qualified and physically able 

companion should accompany travelers who need such 

assistance. If we are not notified at time of reservation 

of any disability requiring special attention, Globus 

reserves the right to cancel your booking or terminate 

your vacation if your special needs or disabilities are not 

suitable for the vacation, are incompatible with other 

travelers, or if you are not traveling with a companion 

who provides all the assistance you require. Globus will 

not refund or cover any costs or expenses incurred for 

cancellation, booking, or termination of the vacation. 

Cancellation penalties, as above, apply. 

42. Not all sightseeing stops/sites accommodate 

wheelchairs, and some locations and sightseeing 

activities require extensive standing, sitting, or walking— 

sometimes on unpaved or cobblestone streets. Globus 

will not refund or cover any cost or expense incurred 

for any missed activities due to a participant’s inability 

to fully participate with the group. The Americans with 

Disabilities Act is only applicable within the United States, 

and facilities for disabled individuals are limited outside 

its borders. Most transportation services, including the 

touring motorcoaches and cruise ships, are not equipped 

with wheelchair ramps. Although some of our ships have 

elevators, many small ships do not. Passengers requiring 

ship elevators should inquire before making reservations. 

43. With prior permission and waivers, we will attempt 

to accommodate motorized scooters on domestic 

vacations, depending on the suitability of the itinerary. 

YOUNG TRAVELERS 

44. Travelers who are under 18 years old on the departure 

date must be accompanied by an adult throughout 

the vacation, and are requested to share an adult’s 

accommodation. Children under 8 years of age are 

not allowed on any Globus vacation. For any special 

requirements regarding airline tickets for children, contact 

your airline directly. 

45. On vacations that include an Alaska, Hawaii, or Cuba 

cruise, or an overnight stay in Las Vegas, at least one 

member of the traveling party must be 21 years of age 

or older. 

46. Young travelers 8-17 receive a 10% discount on the 

base land program price. 

47. Due to heightened security, many countries have 

adopted practices to prevent international abductions of 

children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than 

the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended 

that a notarized letter be written by the parents or nontraveling 

parent granting authorization to travel, including 

the dates of travel. We suggest that you also contact the 

appropriate consulate and airlines because they may 

have additional requirements or recommendations. 

SMOKING 

48. Smoking is not allowed on transportation that is 

exclusively provided by Globus. On cruise ships, smoking 

is restricted to certain areas of the vessel. This applies to 

cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, and any other smoking 



160 

device. Many hotels in North America have imposed a 

100% non-smoking policy and many cities have imposed 

non-smoking reglations in public spaces. As a standard 

rule, Globus confirms non-smoking hotel rooms. If you 

require a smoking room, a request may be submitted, but 

we cannot guarantee availability. 

MOTORCOACHES 

49. Globus follows a mandatory, daily seat rotation on 

motorcoaches. For the enjoyment of all passengers, you 

must adhere to the rules of the Tour Director regarding 

seat rotation. Alcohol consumption is not allowed on 

board Globus motorcoaches. 

PRICE POLICY 

50. All vacation prices are based on rates (reflecting 

foreign exchange rates) known at the time of publication 

and expected to be in effect at the time of departure, 

and do not include airfare, except where noted on 

specific itineraries. Vacation prices are per person, 

based on double occupancy (two people sharing a 

room). Single room supplements and triple reductions 

are listed where applicable. Not all accommodation 

types are available on all vacations. 

51. Prices are subject to change without notice, subject 

to the guarantees set forth below. 

52. Once Globus has received your full land deposit for 

any cruise vacation, that land price is guaranteed and 

you are protected against any base land price increase 

due to currency surcharge. Any subsequent land or 

cruise cost increases are at Globus’s expense, not 

including energy cost increases and/or any government 

tax increases. 

53. Pricing for air-inclusive vacations, including those 

with intra-vacation air, are guaranteed when Globus 

has received your full land plus air deposits and/or full 

air payment, as noted above. Globus reserves the right 

to ticket Flex-Air bookings, and vacations with intravacation 

air, upon receipt of full land and air deposits; 

thus, any subsequent revisions made at your request 

are subject to airline-imposed change fees, cancellation 

fees, and/or changes in airfare price, which are your 

responsibility to pay. Instant Purchase Air is ticketed 

upon receipt of full air payment; thus, full cancellation 

fees, as noted above, apply. 

54. Vacation departures in 2018 are subject to itinerary 

modifications. Full details will be available in September 

2017. Travelers have the right to cancel their reservation 

without penalty within 7 days of notification in the event 

of itinerary modifications for departures in 2018 prior to 

the release of the 2018 brochure. Vacations with Instant 

Purchase Air will receive full refunds for changes to 

vacations or vacation dates in 2018 with the release of 

the 2018 brochure, providing notification of cancellation 

is received within 7 days. 

VISAS & PASSPORTS 

55. It is your responsibility to verify all visa and passport 

requirements necessary for your vacation. You are 

responsible for obtaining independently and paying for 

all visas and entry documents, for meeting all health and 

other requirements, and for any documents required by 

the laws, regulations, orders, and/or requirements of the 

countries you will visit. Globus cannot accept liability 

for any passenger refused entry onto any transport 

or into any country due to failure of the passenger 

to carry correct documentation or adhere to specific 

entry and exit requirements. All visa information listed 

on the website, in documents, or in the brochure is for 

U.S. citizens only. Non-U.S. citizens must consult with 

appropriate consulates to determine if any visas or other 

documents are needed. 

56. Visas for travel to Cuba are obtained by Globus 

prior to the commencement of your program wand 

will be provided on the first evening of your program 

by your Globus Group Leader. Information on the 

visa application process will be sent to you upon 

confirmation of your booking. It is your responsibility to 

comply with all visa regulation processes and timelines. 

57. You must have a passport to travel internationally. 

Most countries require that the passport be valid for at 

least six (6) months beyond the conclusion of your trip. 

It is recommended you have a minimum of three blank 

pages in your passport when traveling. Multiple-entry 

visas are required for some vacations. The process of 

obtaining a visa and/or passport can take up to three 

months or more. 

58. Some government agencies in foreign countries 

require Globus to collect and pass on in advance of 

travel certain personal and other details related to 

you, including but not limited to government-issued 

identification and passport details. If you fail to supply 

the details, as requested, fully and accurately, your trip 

may be interrupted or canceled. There are no refunds 

for failure to provide documentation or failure to provide 

documentation by the time required. 

HOTELS, ACCOMMODATIONS & TRANSPORTATION 

59. The hotels listed on the website or in the brochure 

are intended to be used on all departures; however, 

hotels are not guaranteed. Globus reserves the right to 

substitute other hotels than those listed on the itinerary 

pages. If a change becomes necessary for any reason, 

including alternate hotels for additional departures 

on the same date, or hotel location changes within or 

outside itinerary cities, the hotel substituted will be 

of equivalent quality to those shown. No refunds are 

provided for hotel changes; full cancellation penalties, 

as noted above, apply. 

60. Globus contracts twin-bedded rooms. Double 

bedded rooms may be requested but are never 

guaranteed. Triple rooms are the same size as twinbedded 

rooms and are at the discretion of the hotel. 

Triple rooms will have beds to accommodate three 

people, but three separate beds cannot be guaranteed. 

The additional bed, if available, is often a roll-away bed 

put in for the night. If there are only two beds, a rollaway 

may be requested but cannot be guaranteed. If 

available, additional charges may apply for a roll-away 

and are payable by you directly to the hotel. 

61. Single supplements ensure your own room, not 

necessarily a twin or double-bedded room. Single rooms 

in hotels are generally smaller in size and may be less 

conveniently located. 

62. Room and bed preferences are not guaranteed. 

63. Check-in times vary worldwide; Globus cannot 

control or guarantee check-in times. 

64. In the rare event included train or air services are 

unavailable, alternate services will be provided. Itinerary 

timings are approximate and are subject to change. 

BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE 

65. Porterage at hotels for one suitcase per person 

is included in the vacation price. Airport/train station 

porterage is not included, unless otherwise specified in 

your travel documents. Be prepared to carry your own 

suitcase on and off airplanes and trains and through 

airports and train stations. Regulations within most 

airports require travelers to handle their own luggage 

through customs. 

66. Your single bag should have dimensions not 

exceeding 30"x21"x11" and weight not exceeding 50lbs 

(22kg). We regret that we are unable to accept a second 

suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits on any 

Globus vacation. Some vacations have more restrictive 

regulations than those listed above. Refer to your Travel 

Documents for more information. 

67. Air carrier restrictions may vary from the limitations 

listed above. Size and weight limitations for carry-on 

and checked baggage vary from airline to airline and 

even according to destination. While making an airinclusive 

booking, you will be provided with baggage 

fee information. After booking an air-inclusive booking, 

up-to-date information on carrier-specific standard 

checked baggage allowance (including size and 

weight limitations), the standard allowance (and fee, if 

applicable) for carry-on baggage, and the standard fee 

for the first and second checked bag, along with the 

information about additional discounts that may apply

status, military, credit card used for purchase or early

pay these fees directly to the airline at check-in. 

68. No responsibility is accepted by Globus for loss 

of or damage to baggage or any of the traveler’s 

belongings throughout the duration of the vacation.

store in overhead bins or under the seat in front of you 

on motorcoaches and other transportation. 

70. For travel to Cuba: Participants are limited to one 

checked bag and one carry-on per person (purses and 

laptop cases are excluded), total weight not to exceed 

44 lbs, which is included in your program cost. Excess

payable in cash at the airport. Any additional checked 

bags are $20 per bag plus any excess weight payable 

at the airport. 

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS 

71. Passenger Travel Documents, including e-ticket 

itineraries, are sent by regular ground delivery 

approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure, provided 

full invoice payment has been received. If available, a 

service charge per reservation is added for documents

SERVICE INQUIRIES AFTER THE VACATION 

76. As it is difficult and sometimes impossible to 

properly investigate a complaint if Globus is not advised 

of such complaint quickly, any compensation you may 

have been able to claim could be reduced or even 

forfeited if you do not follow the complaints procedure 

set out in this clause. 

77. After returning from your vacation, if you wish to 

inquire about any services provided, ensure that all 

correspondence relating to those services is received 

by Globus, Traveler Services, Group Voyagers, Inc., 

(see address under “Responsibility”). Any complaint 

or claim involving the vacation services offered in the 

Globus brochure or on the Globus website, involving 

the negligence of any suppliers, sub-contractors, or 

agents in relation to any service provided to the vacation 

participant must be notified to Globus while on vacation 

or within 30 days of the vacation completion, except 

where such time limitations are prohibited by law. 

HOLIDAYS 

78. During local or national holidays or special events, 

peak seasons, on Sundays, and during religious 

occasions, certain facilities such as museums, 

churches, restaurants, sightseeing tours, hotels, and 

shopping may be limited or not available. Alternatives 

will be offered whenever possible. Globus cannot be 

held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary 

changes, or curtails for any reason. 

SAFETY 

79. Be aware that during your participation on vacations 

operated by Globus, certain risks and dangers may 

arise beyond our control, including but not limited to: 

the hazards of traveling in undeveloped areas; travel 

by boat, train, automobile, aircraft, or other means of 

transportation; forces of nature; political unrest; acts 

of lawlessness or terrorism; and accident or illness in 

remote regions without means of rapid evacuation or 

medical facilities. Globus will not have liability regarding 

provision of medical care or the adequacy of any care 

that may be rendered. While Globus will use its best 

efforts to ensure that adequate measures are taken, 

by agreeing to participate in a vacation and/or optional 

excursions you agree that you will hold Globus harmless 

regarding any provision of medical care or the adequacy 

of any care rendered. Globus is not responsible for such 

risks and dangers that may arise beyond our control. 

Payment of your deposit indicates you accept these risks 

and dangers and agree to hold Globus harmless for such. 

PHOTOGRAPHS & PICTURES 

80. Photographs or pictures appearing in this brochure 

should be used solely as an indication of facilities and 

attractions. Actual facilities and attractions may vary 

according to itinerary. Maps shown on the vacation 

pages are current at the time of printing and may not 

reflect the actual routing should the itinerary change. 

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS 

81. Optional excursions (‘the Services’) available for 

booking are provided by local operators or other third 

parties that are entirely independent of Globus and do 

not form any part of the product or services sold to 

you by Globus or of these Terms & Conditions, even 

where Globus suggests particular operators/other third 

parties and/or assists you in booking such optional 

shore excursions. Your contract for such Services will 

be with the organizer or operator of that Service, and 

will be subject to its Terms & Conditions, which may 

contain exclusions or limitations of liability. Globus has 

no liability for any such optional excursion or for any 

act(s) or omission(s) of the organizer or operator or for 

any of its employees or agents or any other person(s) 

connected with the optional excursion. 

82. Any advice or assistance on or with any Service 

provided by any local representative does not mean or 

imply that the Service is sold, supervised, or controlled 

by Globus, or that any such advice or assistance 

is given on behalf of Globus. Vacation participants 

are asked to check with the operator of any optional 

excursion and the applicable Terms & Conditions before 

booking. 

83. For operational reasons, not all optional excursions 

listed in the cruise itinerary, in print, online, or in travel 

documents may be available during your vacation. Your 

Tour Director will advise of availability while on tour. 

84. Optional excursions purchased in advance of travel 

at MyGlobus are non-refundable within 11 days to 

commencement of services, unless otherwise listed as 

non-refundable at time of purchase. 

WI-FI 

85. Wi-Fi connectivity on transportation provided 

by Globus (for tours where Wi-Fi is available on the 

motorcoach) is provided by an independent third 

party with separate Terms & Conditions of usage and 

acceptance thereof. These can be found online or will 

be made available upon request. Wi-Fi connectivity is 

not guaranteed, and is often disrupted, unavailable, and 

slower internationally than you are accustomed. 

RESPONSIBILITY 

86. Group Voyagers, Inc., located at 5301 South Federal 

Circle, Littleton, Colorado 80123, is an independent 

company (“the Company”) licensed to market and 

distribute travel products under the Globus brand 

name, and arrange for the vacation services offered on 

this website, including transportation, sightseeing, and 

accommodations through independent contracts. 

87. Air carriers, accommodations, and other suppliers 

(including but not limited to trains, cruises, ferries, 

motorcoaches, hotels, and restaurants) providing 

services are independent contractors and are not 

agents, employees, servants, or joint venturers of the 

Company or its affiliates. All certificates and other 

travel documents for services issued by the Company 

are subject to the Terms & Conditions specified by the 

supplier, which are available upon request, and to the 

laws of the countries in which the services are supplied. 

88. The international carriage of passengers is subject 

to international conventions and treaties, where 

applicable. These international agreements limit and, in 

some events, exclude the carrier’s liability to passengers 

(vacation participants). Where any claim or part of 

a claim (including those involving death or personal 

injury) concerns or involves any travel arrangements 

(including the process of getting on or off the transport 

concerned) provided by any air, sea, inland waterways, 

rail or road carrier, or any stay in a hotel, the Company’s 

maximum liability is the maximum that would be payable 

by the carrier or the hotel keeper concerned under the 

applicable international convention, treaty, or regulation 

applicable to the travel arrangements or hotel stay 

(e.g., the Warsaw Convention, the Montréal Convention 

for international travel by air, the EU Regulation on Air 

Carrier Liability for air carriers with an operating license 

granted by an EU country, the Athens Convention for 

international travel by sea) in that situation. 

89. After departure, if the Services included in the 

vacation cannot be supplied or there are changes in an 

itinerary for reasons beyond the control of the Company, 

depending on the circumstance, the Company will 

take reasonable action to arrange for the provision of 

comparable services. Any resulting additional expense 

will be the responsibility of vacation participants, and 

any resulting savings will be refunded by the Company 

to vacation participants. 

90. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject 

any person as a vacation participant; to expel any 

participant from the vacation; to make changes in the 

itinerary whenever the Company deems it necessary for 

the comfort, convenience, or safety of the participants; 

and to cancel a vacation at any time. 

91. The vacation participant agrees that neither the 

Company nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage, 

loss (including personal injury, death, and property loss), 

or expense occasioned by any act or omission of any 

supplier providing services, any insurer or insurance 

administrator under the Travel Protection plan, or any 

other person. 

92. Any dispute between the vacation participant and 

the Company, directly or indirectly relating to the Terms 

& Conditions, shall be first submitted to mediation at 

Denver, Colorado, before a mediator mutually agreed to 

by the parties. If mediation is not successful, the dispute 

must be resolved by binding arbitration under Colorado 

law before the Judicial Arbiter Group or its successor 

located at 1601 Blake Street, Denver, Colorado 80202. 

The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of 

costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any action to 

enforce the arbitrator’s decision shall be brought in the 

state or federal courts in the State of Colorado. 

93. Arbitration against the Company must be 

commenced within one year following the date of 

vacation completion. Neither the Company nor any 

affiliate shall in any case be liable for other than 

compensatory damages, and you hereby waive any right 

to punitive damages. 

94. No person, other than an authorized representative 

of the Company by a document in writing, is authorized 

to vary, add, or waive any term or condition on its 

website, including any term or condition set forth in the 

preceding provisions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED 

QUESTIONS 

WHAT SIZE CAN MY SUITCASE BE? 

Due to limited motorcoach capacity, your bag should have dimensions 

not exceeding 46x53x28cm (30"x21"x11") (62" linear dimensions) or 

weight exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs.) Carry-on bag dimensions should not 

exceed 30x28x14cm (12"x11"x6"). We are unable to accept a second 

suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits. Some vacations may 

have other restrictions, which will be noted in your Travel Documents. 

Please note that air carriers, cruise lines, and other forms of transportation 

may have other restrictions and requirements, including weight, and 

we recommend that you contact the suppliers directly for additional 

information. Some airlines also charge fees for checked baggage, and 

these fees are not included in the vacation or airfare package price. Check 

with your airline directly for baggage information and regulations. Globus is 

not responsible for additional baggage fees imposed by air carriers. 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TWIN-BEDDED ROOM & 

A DOUBLE ROOM? 

A double room is a room designed to accommodate two people, though 

not necessarily with two separate beds. A twin-bedded room has two 

separate beds of any size; this is what we usually reserve for our guests. 

WHAT SIZE IS A TRIPLE ROOM? 

A triple room is the same size as a twin bedded room. It will have beds to 

accommodate three people, but we cannot guarantee there will be more 

than two beds. If there are only two beds, a rollaway may be requested 

but is not guaranteed. 

HOW IS SEATING DETERMINED ON THE MOTORCOACH? 

We offer daily rotation of seating, which gives everyone a variety of views. 

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS? 

Travel documents, including applicable eTicket receipts, itineraries and 

other information, are sent approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure, 

provided full payment and emergency contact information have been 

received. 

WHAT IS TRAVEL PROTECTION ? 

Travel Protection offers comprehensive protection for your travel 

investment. In addition to excellent trip coverage and cancellation 

protection, the plan includes a Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit that 

allows for cancellation up to 24 hours prior to departure (or prior business 

day, whichever is farther out) for any reason. In the event cancellation 

is for a non-covered reason under Travel Protection, the cancellation 

penalty retained by Globus, minus the Travel Protection payment, will 

be reimbursed under the Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit in the 

form of Travel Certificates valid for travel with two years from the original 

cancelled vacation start date. This Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit 

does not cover Instant Purchase Air or independently purchased air. 

NOTE: Optional activities and excursions are subject to change and may 

not be available as described; please visit our website for up-to-date 

information, including Terms & Conditions and details regarding payment. 

WHY AM I ASKED TO GIVE MY PASSPORT NAME, GENDER & 

DATE OF BIRTH WHEN BOOKING FLIGHTS? 

Due to increased travel security around the world, the Transportation 

Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect this information 

in accordance with the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security. TSA information must exactly match 

the full passport name. The airline reservation must match the first and 

last name. If this information is not accurate, you may not be allowed to 

board the plane. It is important to provide this information accurately at 

the time of booking, as any changes to your air booking, which includes 

spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, higher fares, new 

schedule, and/or cancellation. 

WHY IS MY CONTACT INFORMATION COLLECTED WHEN I BOOK? 

There may be times when unforeseen events beyond our control impact 

travel schedules and potentially disrupt cruises, tours, or packages. These 

include, but are not limited to, severe weather conditions, acts of nature, 

and government travel advisories. Under such circumstances, it is critical 

that the Globus family of brands be able to contact you immediately and 

reliably—including nights, weekends, and holidays—to make sure we’ve 

informed you of any possible changes to your travel. 

DO I NEED A PASSPORT & A VISA? 

When traveling outside your home country, a passport is required. 

Some countries require a visa. All travelers should consult with 

appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed. 

HOW IS MY AIRFARE PRICE DETERMINED IF I PURCHASE FLIGHTS 

THROUGH GLOBUS? 

In most cases, you’ll be offered a choice of carriers and flight schedules 

as well as price points to choose from when selecting your flights. Your 

schedule will be provided to you at the time of booking (schedules are 

subject to change by carriers). 

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE GLOBUS? 

Globus vacations are designed to offer you flexibility, choice, and a pace 

that best fits the way you want to travel. Globus offers MORE included 

features, MORE quality hotels, and MORE experience, with more than 

89 years of taking travelers on unforgettable journeys. You’ll get insider 

attractions that you’ll merely see from the outside with other travel 

companies. In addition, Globus offers MORE value, with an average price 

less per day than our nearest competitor. The safety of our travelers and 

the richness of our vacations is a priority and it is what has made Globus 

the worldwide leader in travel and a name you can trust. 

WHEN CAN I PURCHASE OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS? 

Globus offers our travelers the opportunity to pre-purchase select 

optional excursions via our MyGlobus feature. For a listing of optional 

excursions available for pre-purchase by tour, visit our website.
