ULTRA-MODERN COACHES, FIRST-CLASS COMFORTForget everything you think you know about “bus tours.” On a Globus tour, your motorcoach experience definitely isn’t an afterthought. We include everything it takes to keep you comfortable and connected as you travel from one amazing sight to another. Our private, first-class motorcoaches feature all the modern amenities you’d expect—plush seats, air-conditioning, an emergency restroom (in select destinations), an average group size of just 39 travelers (so there’s lots and lots of room to stretch out and relax), and comfort stops every two hours. Plus, one motorcoach can replace many cars on the roads, slashing fuel usage and pollution emissions, so you could say we’ve even thought of Mother Nature’s comfort!

Once again, Globus has ushered touring into new territory, making it possible to browse online and share your experience with friends and relatives back home...and it’s all at no cost!

Unfortunately, details regarding availability cannot be provided prior to the commencement of the tour. Some countries, such as Iceland, Israel, Jordon, and Russia, and certain regions of other countries, do not have Wi-Fi service coverage, so free Wi-Fi is not available. When local motorcoaches are used for transfers or occasionally for sightseeing tours, wireless service is not available.

MEET A FEW OF OUR TOUR EXPERTSCATERINA THIEL, TOUR DIRECTOR (PANORAMA)A native German who calls London her home. After 27 years of conducting tours, I am still passionate about sharing my love for European culture and history with my guests. Each tour is a personal challenge for me to make everybody

feel special, and to create a lasting memory of their journey through our Continent’s colourful and rich diversity in the hope they return inspired and stimulated.

JAMES SAUNDERS, TOUR DIRECTOR (SOUTH AMERICA)Originally from Balham in London, I worked at a hotel in Germany and as a Local Guide in northern Italy before becoming a Tour Director. I have conducted tours all over Europe, Africa, Asia Minor, Scandinavia, Eastern

Europe, Russia, and Canada. My passion though is South America. I have toured there for nearly 20 years and have also traveled around for my own vacations. There is so much to see and such a diversity in this continent. When I am not working I travel for pleasure and to expand my horizons. I have had the pleasure of traveling around India a few times. I love to cook and never leave home without my cameras!

WERNER HARTLIEB, TOUR DIRECTOR (ALPINE, CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE)For me traveling is one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences we can get in life. I have always been drawn to it, still enjoy traveling in my free time and have an interest in history and

geography. As a Tour Director, it is my goal and new challenge for each tour to make the trip most enjoyable and rewarding for you and to help to create beautiful memories of all the wonderful places we visit. In short, to make you come back for more of the great adventure that is travel.

SCOTT DWORKIN, TOUR DIRECTOR (NORTH AMERICA)Originally from Connecticut, my favorite season is autumn when the stunning fall foliage transforms the area into an even more beautiful landscape. In addition to leading tours all over the United States and Canada, I have enjoyed my travels

outside of North America, including multiple trips to Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a Bachelor’s degree and a minor in U.S. History. Like many of the travelers that I meet on tour, I have a personal interest in photography and always have a plan for how to get some of the best shots. During my free time, I spend it at home in Connecticut, which often involves a hike, a mountain bike ride, or sometimes a camping trip.

Everything was well-organized as usual on our tour of Classical Greece. I must say, your company has the best Tour Directors. Evgenia, our Tour Director in Greece, was fabulous and always at hand to assist with any queries that we had on the tour or the destination!

–Roberto Alan Viegas and Family (Classical Greece)

I love the nooks and crannies of places I visit, and I’m once again convinced that Globus is the best! You can shut off your mind and just concentrate on views and sites and let someone else do all the thinking! Travelling on Globus Iceland Adventure, I had a great time! We listened to all the old stories that our Tour Director entertained us with while going past craters, icebergs, wildlife, and spectacular landscapes!

–Upaneeta Sen (Iceland Adventure)

We had the shortest vacation with Globus but it was so well done. Our hotels were excellently located right next to the London Eye in London and within walking distance from Arc de Triomphe in Paris! Our Tour Director, Peter, was extremely helpful and efficient.

–Arvind Dangeti (London & Paris)

We travelled on the Globus South America tour “Spirit of South America,” and we had a great time exploring the countries on the vacation thanks to our Tour Director, Fernando.

–Ashok Gupta (Spirit of South America)

Our tour was awesome and fantastic. Each part of the tour was very well-organized and carefully handled, including the land and the cruise. The Tour Director took extra care and gave attention to everyone travelling on the tour. We had a splendid time and hope to travel soon to a new destination.

TESTIMONIALS

OUR STORY BEGAN NEARLY NINE DECADES AGOWhen 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.

DAY 1 ARRIVE IN LIMA, PERU. Arrive in Lima, where you will be met by your Tour Director.

DAY 2 LIMA. This afternoon, your Local Guide focuses on the city’s colonial heritage during a walking TOUR. Start at the Plaza de Armas to see the Government Palace and the cathedral. From here, stroll to the venerable SAN FRANCISCO MONASTERY with its splendid 17th-century cloister murals. For a special treat, stop at a LOCAL PERUVIAN FOOD MARKET to get a real taste of life for the local people. This evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at one of Lima’s Peruvian restaurants with your fellow traveling companions. (B,D)

DAY 3 LIMA–CUSCO–SACRED VALLEY.Fly to Cusco, the impressive Andean city that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Head into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where you will have lunch and experience an El Pago a la Tierra, or MOTHER EARTH CEREMONY, performed by a local shaman. These ceremonies thanking Mother Earth and asking for good health and safe travels have been practiced in Peru since before the arrival of the Incas. Next, stop at AWANAKANCHA to meet local families who preserve the ancient technique of Pre-Columbian weaving using South American camelid fibers. Here is your chance to get up close to the various camelids, including alpaca, llama, guanaco, and vicuña, indigenous to the region. Continue to PISAC, an old mountain village where you will have free time to shop its famous market for local wares such as alpaca sweaters and blankets, jewelry, or hand-painted ornamental dishes and vases. Stay in the Sacred Valley tonight, and enjoy a special dinner at the hotel. (B,L,D)

DAY 4 SACRED VALLEY–MACHU PICCHU.This morning, visit the Inca Fortress of OLLANTAYTAMBO, followed by the opportunity to visit a HOME, meet some of the locals, and experience their way of life.

Then, transfer to a motorcoach for the ascent to legendary MACHU PICCHU, the “Lost City of the Incas,” high above the steep valley overlaid with dense tropical jungle. Your Local Guide will bring you closer to the lives and mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures built by the Pre-Columbian masters of this sacred land. Tonight, stay at a nearby hotel.

DAY 10 LIMA–CUSCO–SACRED VALLEY.Fly to Cusco, the impressive Andean city that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Head into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and visit the semi-circular KENKO Amphitheater with its stone altars and labyrinth of passages and see the ancient site of Puca Pucara.

Continue to Koricancha and the SANTO DOMINGO MONASTERY, and see how the two sites have become one. The Temple of the Sun at Koricancha was once the most important Inca site, dedicated to the worship of the Sun. The walls, altars, and decorations were all said to be covered in gold—until the Spaniards looted the temple and then built the contrasting Baroque Santo Domingo Monastery on top of the temple’s foundations. Also visit the TEMPLE OF SACSAYHUAMAN, perched on a hillside overlooking Cusco. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. Enjoy an afternoon at leisure to explore on your own. This evening, your Tour Director hosts a festive farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)

Return to the hotel this evening. (B,L)

DAY 5 MENDOZA. EXCURSION TO UCO VALLEY.Today takes you to the UCO VALLEY and BODEGAS SALENTEIN, which consists of three estate fincas. The fincas, where grapes are grown at a range of altitudes among the highest in the world, are irrigated with pure mountain run-off from the Andes, which creates lower pH in the grape. This results in higher acidity, more color in the wine, and greater age-ability. After your tour, enjoy a sampling of wines and visit the incredible art museum. Later, stop at ANDELUNA for a special lunch, locally sourced from nearby farms and orchards and paired with the perfect wine. Continue to DOMAINE BOUSQUET, one of the top exporters of premium wine in Argentina, for a tour and tasting. This evening, dine at the exclusive

1884 RESTAURANTE, considered one of the best restaurants in the world, created by Francis Mallmann, one of the best-known chefs in Argentina. (B,L,D)

DAY 6 MENDOZA–SANTIAGO, CHILE–SANTA CRUZ.Fly to Santiago, Chile, situated between the soaring Andes and the vast Pacific Ocean. Upon arrival, head to Santa Cruz in the central area of the Colchagua Valley. Known for its warm climate, prolonged dry season, and rain during the winter, this area is an outstanding agricultural center for fruits, wheat, maize, and grapevines. In this long, narrow country the Pacific Ocean is rarely more than 50 miles away, allowing winds to funnel up the valleys, cooling the vineyards, especially at night. There are dramatic diurnal temperature differences, meaning cold summer nights that help grapes maintain acidity, and improve the colors and flavors in red varieties. Dinner is included at the hotel this evening. (B,D)

DAY 7 SANTA CRUZ. EXCURSION TO COLCHAGUA VALLEY. Drive through the rolling hills to VIÑA SANTA CRUZ, a fusion of two ethnicities—Iberian and Native American—and an area that produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carménere, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. After your tour of the winery, ride the CABLE CAR to admire the beautiful countryside and visit a recreation of several VILLAGES of indigenous groups found in Chile. Next, enjoy a HOME-HOSTED LUNCH with traditional Chilean dishes and a FOLKLORE SHOW displaying the Cueca dance typical to this region. Your last stop is the COLCHAGUA MUSEUM, which walks you through Chile’s history. (B,L)

DAY 8 SANTA CRUZ. EXCURSION TO COLCHAGUA VALLEY. Today’s adventure takes you to CASA LAPOSTOLLE, a renowned winery founded by the French family Marnier Lapostolle, owners of the world-renowned Grand Marnier liqueur, and the Chilean family Rabat. Learn how the perfect weather conditions and soils cultivate the French grape vines and produce excellent wine. Continue to VIÑA VIU MANET, where you will see an exhibition of old agricultural equipment and take a carriage ride through the vineyards. After touring the cellars and the laboratories, an expert will explain the processes of wine production. Next, it’s your turn to be the oenologist, or winemaker. Blend your own wine, develop a commercial strategy, and even design your label! (B)

DAY 9 SANTA CRUZ–SANTIAGO. This morning, return to the bustling city of Santiago to admire its mix of old and new on your city TOUR. Travel through the downtown area, passing by Club Hípico, a thoroughbred horse-racing track in the city’s oldest residential area; and Parque O’Higgins. From here, head along the famous Alameda, Santiago’s colorful main avenue, toward the heart of the city, passing Chilean University, San Francisco Church, and Santa Lucia Hill, site of Santiago’s founding in 1541. A visit to LA VEGA CENTRAL MARKET provides a fascinating overview of typical Chilean food, including steaming pots of cazuela and humitas, similar to tamales. Continue to Plaza de Armas, the cathedral, and the bohemian Bellavista district on the way to San Cristóbal Hill for the finest views of Santiago and the Andes. (B)

DAY 10 SANTIAGO. EXCURSION TO VALPARAISO & VIÑA DEL MAR. Travel west toward the coast to colorful VALPARAISO, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and headquarters of the Chilean National Congress. Pass by the main square and view the monument honoring the 1879 Battle of Iquique before driving to the southern side of the city for spectacular views of the bay. A drive along the coastal highway brings you to the seaside resort of VIÑA DEL MAR. Admire some of its famous beaches, the flower clock, casino, and elite summer homes. Return to Santiago and join your Tour Director for a special farewell dinner. (B,D)

DAY 2 CANCUN–VALLADOLID–CHICHEN ITZA.This morning, visit the colonial city of Valladolid, known for its charming streets and sun-splashed walls. After a short orientation tour, there’s time to explore on your own. Next, on to Chichen Itza, where the renowned Hotel Mayaland is your home for the next two nights. You may wish to take a dip in the pool, stroll through the beautiful gardens, or just enjoy a cool drink. (B,D)

SPECIAL FEATURE: Located in the heart of Chichen Itza Archaeology Park, the Hotel Mayaland is set on 100 acres of tropical gardens and maintains its own private entrance to the park.

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 and adventurers, its restoration has been ongoing since 1997. We then continue to the Biosphere Reserve of RIO LAGARTOS, home to nearly 90,000 pink flamingos and 400 other bird species. Learn about the preservation of this area and what is being done to protect the wildlife of the region. Enjoy a CRUISE through the mangroves, the feeding ground of the beautiful flamingos. Return to Chichen Itza, where this evening, you are invited to attend the SOUND & LIGHT SHOW. (B,D)

DAY 4 CHICHEN ITZA–MÉRIDA.This morning, explore CHICHEN ITZA, built by the Maya between 600 and 900 AD. It was abandoned by the end of the 10th century and re-established in the 11th and 12th centuries, possibly by the Toltecs. Visit the BALL COURT, site of sacrifices; EL CASTILLO, a formidable building dedicated to the high priest; and the CENOTE SAGRADO, the sacred well once filled with priceless treasure offered to the gods. Later, journey to Mérida, capital of the Yucatán state and its colonial heart. Enjoy a city tour including the cathedral, Governor Palace, and the

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MONEYAs a rule, a day with Globus costs you no more than you would pay on your own for a hotel overnight. Yet, we also provide the services of an expert Tour Director, transportation, a rich sightseeing program, and more

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU GET OUR ITINERARIES TELL YOU WHAT’S INCLUDEDOur vacations are carefully planned to include visits to places of interest and panoramic drives through areas of natural beauty. There’s so much for you to look forward to! Please refer to the itinerary pages for a complete description of what is included in the vacation of your choice. Our itinerary descriptions are detailed, and inside visits and special features are spelled out in UPPERCASE.

HAND-SELECTED HOTELSExcellent 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), or first-class (F) hotels. 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 and fax numbers.

INCLUDED MEALSWith 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/Avalon, you benefit from the expertise we bring to every tour. We set very high standards and are dedicated to selecting the right Tour/Cruise Directors, Local Guides, and hosts. These experts 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 deluxe motorcoach you’ll be immediately impressed by the comfort and amenities: an emergency restroom; free Wi-Fi (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.

GET MORE FROM YOUR MONEYOUR PRICE GUARANTEE*You want value for your money—and protection from any surprises. We put your mind at ease against price increases. After booking with us, simply confirm your booking with a full, per person deposit and you are protected against any land price increases due to currency fluctuations.

Most of our itineraries indicate “Vacation departures in 2018 are subject to price and itinerary modifications.” Full details of all our 2018 itineraries will be available in September 2017, and will include any necessary changes to the itineraries shown in this brochure. If there are changes to your 2018 itinerary, you have the right to cancel the reservation without penalty within 7 days of notification of our new published itinerary.

Our vacation prices listed are per person and based on double occupancy. They don’t include airfare, unless specifically noted on the itinerary pages. If there are single room supplements or reductions for triple or quad occupancy, they are listed when applicable. Single, triple, and quad rooms are not available on all vacations.

* Please see the Terms & Conditions for full information on our Pricing Policy and applicable guarantees, as well as deposit, final payment, and cancellation terms.

SAVE BY FORMING YOUR OWN GROUPIf you form your own group, you may receive rebates on the land arrangement of your vacation:

On all tours:■ In a group of eight, one person travels at half price.■ In a group of 16, one person travels free.

Exceptions:■ On vacations including a cruise of three or more nights, one person

travels free in a group of 32; while one person travels at half price in a group of 16.

■ On Greek combination cruises (land + sea cruise), one person travels free in a group of 10.

■ Small parties of 5 to 7 persons save 5% per person of the land-only portion of a Globus tour.

■ On Avalon Waterways vacations, one person travels free in a group of 16.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWBEFORE YOU GO

Rebates are applicable to land-only prices (not air-inclusive prices). The above discounts do not apply to any intra-tour flights. Free and half-price land arrangements are credited at the twin rate; single room supplements have to be paid in full. Terms & Conditions for group bookings may differ from those for individual bookings. Contact us or your travel agent for details. The above discounts do not apply to any intra-tour flights.

JOINING LATE & LEAVING EARLYMany Globus Europe land arrangements start and end in London. If you have already spent time in the British capital, you may want to skip one or more of the included London nights—or even join at the first overnight hotel on the European continent. On European river cruises, you have the option to participate in just the cruise portion of the vacation, removing overnight land stays at the beginning or the end of the cruise itinerary. Call us or your travel agent for any reductions that apply to your land-only or cruise only vacation for joining late or leaving early.

MORE WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR VACATIONEXTRA NIGHTS BEFORE & AFTER YOUR VACATIONIf you require extra nights immediately before and/or after your tour, we can make reservations for you. Rates are per person, per night, (see individual itinerary pages for rates) and include a room with private bath, service charges, porterage, and taxes. If space is unavailable at the hotel

where your vacation stays, accommodations may be reserved at a hotel of equivalent standard. In this case, the transfer from/to the vacation hotel is at our expense. During particularly busy periods, hotel space in certain cities may be limited or unavailable.

MyGLOBUSSM, MyAVALONSM & MyMONOGRAMSSM

With the Globus family of brands you can personalize your travel experience by selecting and pre-purchasing optional excursions online via MyGlobus, MyAvalon, and MyMonograms. They are designed to enhance your experience and are scheduled perfectly within your itinerary. So, go ahead and immerse yourself in your destination according to your passions, whether it’s cuisine, wine, museums, music, or whatever.

TOUR DIRECTOR & DRIVER GRATUITIESAt the end of each tour, our travelers take the opportunity to thank the Tour Directors and drivers for their services by paying them a gratuity. You have the option of adding this at the time of booking, so you don’t have to budget for this at the end of the tour. The exact amount of prepaid gratuity is indicated in the price box for your chosen vacation. Travellers who prepay gratuities receive a gratuity voucher with the travel documents—all you need to do is give this to the Tour Director and the driver at the end of the tour. Tips collected at the time of booking are fully refundable if you need to cancel your vacation for any reason. Tips for Local Guides are not included in this charge. The option of adding tips is available only for the main tour and excludes extensions. You may pay these directly on your vacation.

THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE WORLDWe offer many modes of transportation. For example, our motorcoach travel is just like riding in the door-to-door comfort of a chauffeur-driven limousine! And there’s more…

THE BEST SEAT FOR THE BEST VIEWEach Globus touring vehicle has upholstered, reclining seats with headrests and individual air-conditioning vents. A high-fidelity sound system broadcasts your Tour Director’s commentary to every seat. Our custom of daily seat rotation gives everyone a variety of vantage points to see the passing countryside and city scenes.

SMOKE-FREE MOTORCOACHESSmoking is not allowed on the motorcoach. There are plenty of opportunities to smoke during the frequent stops.

AIR-CONDITIONED MOTORCOACHES EVERYWHEREAll Globus touring motorcoaches are fully air-conditioned.

EMERGENCY RESTROOMS WHILE TOURINGTouring motorcoaches in Europe and North America are equipped with an emergency restroom (see itinerary pages for exceptions). For transfers and sightseeing in London, this amenity is not available. We deliberately use the term “emergency restroom” because this facility is not meant to be used regularly in lieu of the restrooms at our frequent comfort stops.

MORE LEG ROOM & LIMITED GROUP SIZE FOR EXTRA COMFORTThe length and width are standard for modern touring motorcoaches, prescribed by law. The difference among Tour Operators is in the number of seats installed and actually sold. While it is customary to install and sell 53 seats, Globus installs fewer seats and limits group size. Our private deluxe motorcoaches include all the comforts you’d expect, including air-conditioning, an emergency restroom, free Wi-Fi in Europe & North America, and extra leg room—comparable to the airlines’ upgraded “plus” seating. Our average group size is just 36 travelers, so there’s plenty of room to stretch out and relax!

GLOBUS DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALSGlobus drivers take pride in driving and in their vehicles. Your driver will help you on and off the motorcoach with a smile and load your bags with care. Our travelers consistently lavish the highest praise on the person behind the wheel!

CRUISES, TRAIN RIDES & MORE!If your vacation features the Eurostar train, you’ll be guaranteed a smooth ride from London to Paris or back. To reach Seville from Madrid, you’ll board the exciting high-speed AVE train. Other vacations feature cruises on the Rhine River or Venetian canals to enhance your travel experience. To cross the Strait of Georgia on our vacations in the Northwest and Canadian Rockies, you’ll probably take one of the sleek, ultra-modern BC Ferries. On many of our Alaska or Canadian vacations, you will board railcars. To see if the vacation of your choice features other types of transportation, check out the map on the itinerary page. You’ll see that alternative modes of travel are clearly pictured.

GREAT WAYS TO SAVEGlobus offers several ways to save money.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS & LOW AIR-INCLUSIVE PRICESGlobus offers more services for your convenience and air-inclusive price advantages on certain tours.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS Typically, vacations to Europe and the Americas are sold on a land-only basis when booked from Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Making their own air arrangements on regularly scheduled direct or non-stop flights (but not chartered flights) into international terminals, land-only tour clients may reserve our airport transfer service at $25 each way per person. Different rates apply to European river cruise vacations operated by Avalon Waterways. For information on airport transfers in North America, please contact your Travel Agent.

To book your airport transfers, Globus family of brands requires your arrival and departure flight details and dates, plus your tour invoice number. Flight details must be received no later than five weeks prior to departure; transfers will be provided only once flight details are given and confirmed by Globus family of brands. Look for confirmed transfer vouchers in your travel documents. Transfers cannot be provided when you join late or leave early.

WE ALSO ACCEPT YOUR RESERVATION TO SELECT DESTINATIONS ON AN AIR-INCLUSIVE BASIS (EX-USA)Globus’ buying power means generally better rates for you, and we have negotiated the lowest possible airfares ex-USA with the world’s finest carriers on behalf of our travelers. For this reason, many travelers combining their Globus vacation with a visit to friends and family in the USA like to book our air-inclusive vacations. This particularly makes sense for South America, Hawaii, etc., where finding your own internal flights is not easy. Rather than spending hours researching flight options to coordinate with your vacation start and end dates, let us handle the work. Booking air-inclusive vacations with us also means free airport transfers (on brochure dates).

Air-inclusive vacations to North and South America are only available to passengers traveling from the United States and only available when booked in conjunction with a land vacation. Certain exotic destinations, such as China, Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand, can also include internal (domestic) flights with the land package, making it more convenient for travelers. In this case, travelers do not need to start their travel from the United States and could join the tour from the first city on the itinerary. Since seats for our low-cost airfares fill quickly, we urge you to book early.

An additional $300 non-refundable deposit is required for any air booked in conjunction with a land/cruise vacation. However, once your airfare is confirmed and Globus has received your full air and land/cruise deposit, your air-inclusive price is guaranteed. Air-inclusive reservations cannot be made later than 10 days prior to departure. Business class and/or Premium Economy

upgrades may be available for purchase, at an additional cost. Additional rules may apply. Ask our Travel Consultants for details. Although we will try, Globus cannot always honor carrier or flight preferences.

Changes and/or revisions to airline reservations at your request after flight bookings have been made 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.

Various domestic and international taxes and fees are not included in the vacation price. These taxes and fees will be added to your air-inclusive invoice as a single, per person charge. Taxes and fees are subject to change without notice and will be quoted at time of booking. Globus does not offer internal airfare in Europe with land-only vacations unless it is already specified as “included” in your vacation price.

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. The total airfare price, the base airfare price, and the applicable government taxes and fees are broken out line-by-line and shown on the invoice after your travel is booked. Departure is based on the land start date as listed in the vacation itinerary. Additional airline fees for baggage may apply. Please check with the airlines’ 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.

RECEIVING YOUR eTICKETYour 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 or, if applicable, to advise your frequent flyer number 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.

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA)For bookings with air-inclusive fares (EX-USA), the Secure Flight Final Rule requires all passengers to provide their name as it appears on their government issued ID the passenger plans to use when traveling, date of birth, gender and Redress Number (if applicable). We require that this information is provided within 10 days of booking air with us.

Booking the transfer to and from the airport to your start and end hotel with Globus can mean a substantial savings, as a taxi transfer in some European and American cities is as much as $85 each way. It is also far more convenient than lugging your bags to and from local train stations. Airport transfers can also be arranged when you purchase extra nights before or after the vacation in Europe.

Please see your travel documents for full details regarding set pick-up times at designated airport locations. For very early departures, please note that breakfast cannot be provided.

Transfers cannot be provided when you join late or leave early. Flight information is required for transfers at the time of booking.

WHAT EXACTLY IS INCLUDED IN MY VACATION?The true value of your vacation is in the accurate detailed vacation description on the website and in the brochures, which is unusually specific about accommodation, touring in deluxe motor coaches, sightseeing, and included meals. The agenda for each day is spelled out with exactly what is included in the price. Sightseeing with Local Guides is clearly listed. Inside visits are shown as UPPERCASE in the tour description, including admission charges, where applicable.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT I GIVE MY PASSPORT NAME, GENDER & DATE OF BIRTH WHEN BOOKING AIR?Due to increased travel security around the world, it is now more important than ever that your bookings with airlines, hotels, cruise liners, etc., match your first and last name exactly as it reads on your passport. Additionally, any changes to your air booking, which include spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, or cancellation. We do not allow a change in names of passengers at any time after the booking is made.

WHY AM I ASKED TO PROVIDE MY AIRLINE TICKET NUMBER FOR FLIGHTS THAT WERE BOOKED INDEPENDENTLY OF GLOBUS?The Globus family of brands utilizes bulk contracts for our air services, which includes intra-vacation air offered on many of our vacations. Depending on the destination, our contracts require us to provide the international ticket number in order to issue the intra-vacation air tickets. If this information is not obtained, either the intra-vacation air or the entire vacation will be canceled.

DOES GLOBUS PROVIDE VISA ASSISTANCE?All travelers are required to check the current visa and entry/exit requirements with the local consulates before their travel and the responsibility for obtaining visas rests with the travelers. Please ensure all your documents are in order when applying the visas as per the checklist provided by the consulates. Due to the constant changes in the consulates’ document requirements, Globus is unable to offer visa assistance nor does it take any responsibility for obtaining or notifying travelers about visas required for any vacation. Full cancellation as applicable is payable for guaranteed tours if visa is denied by consulates. We recommend that you apply for visas well in advance and get them in order before guaranteeing. Please consider TRIP PROTECTION to help protect yourself against cancellation penalties arising out of visa rejection or delay (subject to conditions; please see website for details). Please note that certain tours may need more than one visa—such as Schengen visas and UK visas or US and Canada visas.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS?Travel documents including any eTicket receipts, itineraries, and other information are sent approximately two to three weeks prior to departure, provided full payment has been received. A service charge per reservation may be added for documents requested in advance.

WHAT IS THE POLICY IF I HAVE TO CANCEL? HOW CAN I PROTECT AGAINST CANCELLATION?The cancellation policy differs based on the tour and the time of cancellation. Guidelines of our cancellation policy are available in the Terms & Conditions section as well as on the website and from your travel agent. You can protect yourself against Globus’ cancellation charges by purchasing a Trip Protection plan from us, in case you are cancelling due to a covered reason. We regret the inability to waive cancellation charges that are not covered with Trip Protection due to our commitment to suppliers.

FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS

ARE PRICES PUBLISHED IN THE BROCHURE/ON THE WEBSITE GUARANTEED?All vacation prices are per person and based on rates (reflecting foreign exchange rates) known at the time of publication and expected to be in effect at the time of departure. They do not include airfare, except where noted. Prices are subject to increase without notice and are subject to the guarantees set forth as per the terms and conditions mentioned in the brochue / website.

ARE ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE TRANSFERS ARRANGED FOR ALL VACATIONS? Airport transfers may be purchased on all land-only reservations provided the arrival and departure timings are within the scheduled airport transfer times as specified for the particular vacation. The timings can be checked by your travel agent. Transfers are not available for non-brochure dates but can be arranged if purchased with pre/post nights. Transfers cannot be provided if joining late or leaving early. Flight information is MANDATORY for booking the transfers. Transfers will be provided only if confirmed by the Globus family of brands.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TWIN-BEDDED ROOM & A DOUBLE-BEDDED 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 travelers.

WHAT SIZE IS A TRIPLE ROOM?A triple room is the same size as a twin or double room. It will have beds to accommodate three people; however, we cannot guarantee that there will be three separate beds. If there are only two beds, a rollaway bed may be requested but also cannot be guaranteed. Triple rooms are not available on some of our tours and river cruises.

HOW HECTIC IS MY VACATION GOING TO BE?The Globus family of brands offers over 480 vacations and while some are very leisurely paced, others are more of a medium pace. Typically, Panorama vacations covering more countries/cities in a short duration make a vacation quick paced; Regional Discoveries are medium to leisurely paced. Every vacation has a pace meter indicating its pace on the brochure.

HOW LONG WILL WE BE ON THE ROAD EACH DAY? HOW OFTEN DOES THE MOTORCOACH STOP EN ROUTE?Driving time varies for each vacation. It depends on the itinerary, and the driving distance is mentioned in the travel documents. You can also request this information in advance. When driving between cities, the motorcoach stops after every 1.5-2 hours at places where you can pick up a snack/meal and use restrooms. Most vacations do not include drives from one city to another every day.

HOW EARLY WILL I HAVE TO WAKE UP ON THE VACATIONS?The wake-up call differs based on the type of vacation, the season when you are traveling, the city that you are in, and even the weather. Wake-up times are not the same each day and the Tour Director or Cruise Director will advise you of these once the tour begins. Early starts offer the advantage of reaching sightseeing spots before the rush, leaving you free the rest of the day to enjoy the destination and to do as you please.

WHAT MEALS ARE INCLUDED IN MY VACATION? CAN I REQUEST INDIAN/VEGETARIAN/SPECIAL CUISINE WHILE ON TOUR?The exact number of meals included on your tour is clearly specified on the itinerary and is different for each vacation. Breakfast is included daily on all vacations. Our vacations strive to introduce you to authentic flavors, so you can enjoy the destination in a deeper way. Therefore, included meals are usually local or continental and are never Indian or other specialty Asian cuisine. Please request vegetarian meals at the time of booking, and also with the Tour Director when on tour; this can usually be accommodated when requested in advance, but cannot be guaranteed. In certain countries and regions, such as North America’s National Parks, it may be difficult to find Indian or vegetarian meals. When meals are not included, you may

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONSYou can learn about the activities and excursions available on your Globus vacation by visiting GlobusJourneys.com/MyGlobus. A complete listing will also be available in your travel documents. These are available to purchase in advance online from 90 to 11 days prior to departure; some may be available to purchase from your Tour Director while on vacation. If the pre-booked optional excursion does not operate for some reason, the money will be refunded the same way the payment was received.

For Avalon cruises, you may purchase your excursions online at AvalonWaterways.com/MyAvalon from 90 to 11 days prior to departure

For Monograms vacations, you may purchase your excursions online at Monograms.com/MyMonograms from date of deposit until 11 days prior to departure.

Ask your travel agent for more information.

NOTE: 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.

WHAT SIZE CAN MY SUITCASE BE?Due to limited motorcoach capacity, your bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30”x21”x11” or weight exceeding 22 kgs. Carry-on luggage should not exceed the dimensions of 12”x11”x6”. We regret that we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits. 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 for checked-in baggage. Globus is not responsible for any additional fees imposed by airlines on baggage. For Africa vacations, due to limited capacity of the vehicles, the baggage restrictions differ. Please contact your travel agent for more information.

HOW IS SEATING DETERMINED ON THE MOTORCOACH OR SAFARI VEHICLES?We offer daily rotation of seating, which gives everyone a variety of views. The rotation is mandatory and is adhered to by everyone, without exception. This doesnot apply to open-air safari vehicles in Southern Africa.

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 experiences, with 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.

HOW ARE MONOGRAMS VACATIONS DIFFERENT FROM GLOBUS?Monograms are non-escorted, independent vacations. While you purchase hotel, sightseeing, breakfast, air, and transfers as a package, you will not be traveling with a group of people. You will have access to a Local Host rather than a Tour Director. Local Hosts are available to help you make the most of your vacation. They can give you information on how to navigate local transportation, where to dine to experience local cuisine, or insider tips on what to do, but they will not be accompanying you as you explore on your own. You do have the opportunity to purchase additional activities and excursions online or from your Local Host.

IT’S IN YOUR INTEREST TO BOOK EARLY. Book your vacation as soon as possible to ensure you find space on the vacation of your choice. Many Globus vacations sell out months before departure.

IT IS LIKELY THAT YOU MAY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN THE ONES WE HAVE LISTED ABOVE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AT 1.800.425.3575 (INDIA) OR ASK YOUR TRAVEL AGENT OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT GLOBUSJOURNEYS.IN WHERE WE HAVE LISTED MORE FAQS.

choose an Indian restaurant in the city you are touring. DOES GLOBUS OFFER A TRAVEL PROTECTION / INSURANCE PLAN FOR PURCHASE? IS A PLAN INCLUDED IN THE VACATION PRICE?In certain countries and regions, Globus offers Trip Protection / Insurance that protects against trip cancellation, delay, and interruption. This is not comprehensive travel protection and only provides coverage on Globus trips, in case you have to cancel or leave early due to covered reasons. It is optional for you to purchase and is not included in the standard vacation price. It cannot be added after the tour is guaranteed.

Prior to your journey, it’s important that you read your travel documents and the brochure thoroughly, so you know exactly what to expect on your vacation, what you are paying for, and so you can look forward to it with a big smile. We urge you to also familiarize yourself with the following expected travel etiquette.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW ETIQUETTEEvery citizen is their home country’s ambassador, especially when traveling overseas! Our vacations are of international standards and quality, and include travel companions from around the world. Showing respect for cultural differences often gains you respect in return. Being friendly and a part of the group makes it more enjoyable for everyone.

PUNCTUALITYIt is imperative that you maintain punctuality at all times—for departure times, optional tours, and meeting times—so that you do not get left behind and so that all participants can enjoy the tour. It would be unfair if your travel companions have to lose time waiting for you when they could be enjoying the destination. Moreover, your itinerary has been planned to maximize the touring experience, and on-time operation is necessary to ensure the planned itinerary can be followed. We are not liable for any losses you may incur because of poor timekeeping on your part. We urge you to read our Terms & Conditions to familiarize yourself with our liability in such situations.

YOUR TRAVEL COMPANIONSOur vacations are very popular worldwide, and the demographic profile of our travelers is varied. Passengers are usually of varied ages and professional backgrounds, and will include many nationalities, including American, British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Japanese, Thai, Indian, and many others, providing a wonderful opportunity to make friends from around the world. Introduce yourself and try to mix with your fellow travelers. It will be more fun for you than being on your own.

ON-TOUR BEHAVIOR & HYGIENEShowing respect and courtesy to fellow travelers during the journey will likely earn you the same in return and will result in a positive experience for everyone. Speaking to others or on a mobile phone when the Tour Director is giving commentary disturbs others on the motorcoach. Ensure also to be clean and well groomed while on tour. It will make the tour a pleasant experience and you will look great in your vacation pictures!

TRAVELING WITH CHILDRENTraveling allows children to learn about various places and cultures and respect them. If you are a parent traveling with children, it is your responsibility to take care of them and tend to their safety. Most of your travel companions will have a real interest in learning about the cultures of countries they are touring and want to enjoy uninterrupted commentary from the Tour Director.

YOUR TOURING MOTORCOACHEating and smoking on our motorcoaches is strictly prohibited, so you can enjoy your scenic drives in a clean, hygienic, and state-of-the-art environment.

BAGSFor your own comfort, please travel light (baggage dimensions and weight limitations are given in your travel documents). On the motorcoach, carry only essential items in a small backpack to ensure it fits in the luggage rack or under the seat in front of you, rather than on your or your neighbor’s lap! Trolley bags that are used as carry-on luggage on airlines are too large for motorcoaches and are strictly prohibited on the motorcoach.

TRAVEL ETIQUETTE

YOUR TOUR DIRECTOR & DRIVEREvery Globus vacation is special because of the experienced, knowledgeable, and motivated Tour Directors who escort each tour. These friendly professionals are highly respected, are trained in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and work hard to provide you with an enjoyable and hassle-free vacation. They will tell you delightful stories, give local insights, and work behind the scenes so that operational details are taken care of for the next day of the journey. Many hold professional degrees and are highly qualified. They justifiably expect to be treated and respected as professionals.

Your drivers ensure that you have a comfortable and safe journey as you discover new places on your vacation. They navigate through heavy traffic and ensure your motorcoach is neat and tidy for your next day of travel. They, too, expect to be treated with courtesy.

TOUR DIRECTOR & DRIVER GRATUITIESAt the end of each tour, our travelers take the opportunity to thank the Tour Directors and drivers for their services by paying them a gratuity. You have the option of adding this at the time of booking, so you don’t have to budget for this at the end of the tour. The exact amount of prepaid gratuity is indicated in the price box for your chosen vacation. Travelers who prepay their gratuities receive a gratuity voucher with their travel documents—all they need to do is give this to the Tour Director and the driver at the end of the tour. Tips collected at the time of booking are fully refundable if you need to cancel your vacation for any reason. Tips for

Local Guides are not included in this charge. The option of adding tips is available only for the main tour and excludes extensions. You may pay these directly on your vacation.

ON-TOUR ASSISTANCEIf you have an issue or concern, please approach your Tour Director immediately. It is not recommended that you wait for the situation to escalate or until the end of the tour to bring it up, not bring it up at all, or just discuss it with other passengers. The only person who can help resolve any situation that arises is your Tour Director. At the same time, be reasonable and understand that s/he is managing a large group. Everyone wants a wonderful travel experience—including your Tour Director!

IN ROME, DO AS ROMANS DOPeople everywhere love to welcome visitors to their part of the world. They appreciate those who take an interest in their culture, so having an open mind will help you take away some great experiences. The best way to embrace the local culture is to do what the locals do—and on our vacations, you will have ample opportunity to do so!

IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUWe live in a wonderfully diverse world. One of the greatest benefits of travel is the opportunity to return with different experiences and new points of view. Consideration for others goes a long way toward making your own vacation experience an unforgettable one!

You are planning your annual vacation—or the vacation of a lifetime! Either way, you do not want to think about canceling or interrupting your trip. We know these things can happen, so we offer Trip Protection, unique protection offered by the Globus family of brands to help cover against cancellation charges of the tour cost if you have to forego your vacation due to unforeseen reasons and situations. It provides coverage only on Globus family of brands vacations in case you have to join late*, cancel*, or leave early* due to covered reasons.

BUYING TRIP PROTECTION IS A LOT LIKE BUYING PEACE OF MIND.

AIR ARRANGEMENTS Airfare may be purchased through Globus for travel originating from the U.S. for vacations to Central and South America. 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 and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the carrier.

Globus shall not be responsible if an airline cancels, reschedules, or delays a flight for any reason. If you have purchased air tickets through Globus, Globus will try to assist you in making new arrangements, provided you have not already checked in with your airline for your first flight segment. After check-in, you must work and communicate with the airline directly to reach your destination or to make any alternate arrangements, including amendments to return services. Please be aware airline fees often apply for modifications to air schedules not related to airline-imposed flight cancellations, reschedules, or delays. These fees will be payable by you to the airline directly at the time of request.

If you miss your departure flight or connection for any reason, it is your sole responsibility to work, coordinate and contact 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/connecting flights.

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.

If you make your own flight arrangements, Globus will not be responsible for any loss whatsoever 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.

Under the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines with flights in or over the USA 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, 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. Re-booking lost airfare is subject to schedule availability at time of re-booking and may result in alternate flight schedules and/or increases in airfare price. Any increase in airfare price is solely payable by you.

INSECTICIDESome 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 inbound flights, visit http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/policy/safetyenergyenv/disinsection.htm

PUNCTUALITY ON TOURGlobus is not responsible for any losses, including missed sightseeing or having to make alternate travel arrangements, if you fail to meet the representatives of Globus at assigned timings and places/pick-up points while on tour. Globus will not refund nor cover any cost or expenses incurred or compensation, if any, claimed due to inability to maintain punctuality.

TRAVELERS WHO NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE ON TOURS AND/OR CRUISES You must report to Globus any disability requiring special attention while on tour or cruise at the time the booking reservation is made. Globus will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travelers, but shall not be held responsible in the event it is unable to do so nor responsible for any denial of special assistance/services by air carriers, ships, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Globus cannot provide individual assistance to any vacation participant for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches, cruise ships, and other vehicles, or other personal needs. It is recommended that qualified and physically able companion(s) accompany such travelers who need such assistance and they must assume full responsibility for their well-being. 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.

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 is not responsible for any missed activities due to a participant’s inability to 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 touring motorcoaches and cruise ships, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Motorized scooters and motorized wheelchairs are not suitable for international travel and are not permitted on Globus tours.

Although some of our ships have elevators, many of our small ships do not. Passengers requiring ship elevators should inquire and clarify the said aspect before making reservations. Additionally, most stateroom doors and restrooms are not wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchair, and bathrooms and other doorways may be fitted with coamings. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the ship is at anchor.

To understand travel etiquettes, please visit http://www.globusjourneys.in/travelfaq.aspx#etiquettes

For any special requirements regarding airline tickets for children, contact your airline directly.

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 non-traveling parent granting authorization to travel, including dates of travel. We strongly suggest you also contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional requirements or recommendations.

SMOKING Smoking is not allowed on transportation that is exclusively provided by Globus. On cruise ships, smoking is restricted to certain areas of the vessel.

Many hotels in North America have imposed a 100% non-smoking policy and many cities have imposed non-smoking regulations in public places. 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.

PRICE POLICY All vacation prices are in U.S. Dollars and 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 or pricing are listed where applicable. Not all accommodation types are available on all vacations.

Prices are subject to increase without notice, subject to the guarantees set forth below.

Once Globus has received your full land deposit for any land vacation, that land vacation price is guaranteed and you are protected against any land price increase due to currency surcharge. Any subsequent land cost increases are at Globus’ expense, not including energy cost increases and/or any government tax increases.

Pricing for air-inclusive vacations, including those with Intra-vacation Air, are guaranteed when Globus has received your full land plus air deposits, as noted above. Globus reserves the right to ticket vacations with Intra-vacation 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.

Vacation departures in 2018 are subject to itinerary and price modifications. Price is guaranteed with receipt of full deposit, as noted above. Full details will be available in November 2017. Travelers have the right to cancel their reservation without penalty within seven days of notification in the event of itinerary modifications for departures in 2018 with the release of the 2018 brochure.

VISAS & PASSPORTS You are responsible for verifying, arranging, obtaining, and paying for all visas and entry and exit 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. You must consult with appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed and are responsible for obtaining all visas and entry documents independently. Globus is not responsible for providing you with specific visa and passport information or documentation, and Globus shall not accept liability for any passenger refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure of the passenger to carry correct documentation.

Cancellations due to visa denials will be charged per the cancellation policy, as noted above. All passengers traveling internationally are required to have a valid passport. Most countries require that the passport be valid for at least six months beyond the conclusion of your trip. It is recommended you have a minimum of three blank pages in your passport when traveling, as many countries require blank pages. Multiple-entry visas are required for some vacations. It is your responsibility to verify and check all visa and passport requirements from concerned embassies of the countries where you intend to travel and arrange for the same. The process of obtaining a visa and/or passport can take up to three months or more. Some government agencies in foreign countries require Globus to collect and pass on 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, ACCOMODATIONS & TRANSPORTATION The hotels listed in this 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 or higher to those shown. No refunds are provided for hotel changes and full cancellation penalties, as noted above, shall apply.

Globus contracts twin-bedded rooms. Double-bedded rooms may be requested but are never guaranteed. Triple rooms are the same size as twin-bedded 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 rollaway 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 rollaway and are payable by you directly to the hotel.

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. On overnight ferries, single cabins may not be available or are limited and singles may be asked to share.

Room and bed preferences are not guaranteed.

Check-in times vary worldwide; Globus cannot control or guarantee check-in times.

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 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. Please 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.

On most vacations, due to limited motorcoach capacity, your single bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30”x21”x11” and weight not exceeding 50 lbs (22 kg), unless otherwise noted in your Travel Documents. We regret that we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits on any Globus escorted vacation. Some vacations have more restrictive regulations than listed above. Please refer to your Travel Documents for more information.

In Kenya and Tanzania, due to limited capacity on safari vehicles and flights when on safari, your single bag must be soft-sided and cannot exceed 33 lbs (15 kg) including hand luggage. On itineraries with iintra-vacation flights in Asia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana’s Chobe National Park your single bag cannot exceed 44 lbs (20 kg) due to local airline restrictions. On vacations including Botswana’s Okavango Delta, due to limited space on charter planes, your single bag must be soft-sided with dimensions not exceeding 26”x12”x10” (48” linear dimensions) or weight exceeding 44 lbs (20 kg) including hand luggage. Hard-sided bags and any other inflexible luggage, including those with pull handles and wheels are not permitted on the charer planes.

Carry-on bags should not exceed the dimensions of 12”x11”x6”. For safety reasons, wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable as hand luggage on motorcoaches and mini-buses. Carry-on bags must be small enough to store in overhead bins or under the seat in front of you on motorcoaches and other transportation.

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.

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 depending on flyer-specific factors (e.g., frequent flyer status, military, credit card used for purchase, or early purchase over the Internet, etc.), can be found on the carrier’s website or by accessing iflybags.com.

Globus is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers for baggage and these fees are not included in the airfare or the vacation package price. You will be required to pay these fees directly to the airline at check-in. 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. Baggage insurance is recommended in addition to Globus’ Trip Protection since Trip Protection does not cover lost or damaged baggage.

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 pounds, which is included in your program cost. Excess weight (above 44 pounds) is charged at $2 per pound and is payable in cash at the airport. Any additional checked bags are $20 per bag plus any excess weight.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Passenger Travel Documents, including air e-ticket itineraries, are released 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 requested in advance. If documents cannot be received through your Travel Agent or via e-mail and need to be delivered to any address by mail or courier, charges, as applicable, are paid by the passenger and these costs will be quoted at the time of reservation. Delivery of paper airline tickets will attract an extra delivery charge for covering courier expenses. This charge will be informed to you at the time of making the reservation.

GRATUITIES Gratuities are included for services during the land stay of your vacation. This includes wait staff at included meals, hospitality staff at hotels for nights purchased through Globus, and porterage at hotels for one suitcase per person. Gratuities for your Tour or Cruise Director, Local Hosts, Local Guides, Tour Driver, and ship’s crew are not included in the vacation price and are discretionary.

For Cuba: gratuities are included for services during the land stay of your program. This includes wait staff at included meals, porterage at hotels for one suitcase per person as well as gratuities for your Globus Group Leader, Cuban National Tour Director, and driver. The Cuba by Land and Sea program also includes gratuities for your Cruise Director and ship’s crew.

NOT INCLUDED IN THE LAND/CRUISE VACATION PRICE The following charges are not included in the land/cruise vacation price:

Some South American countries (Argentina and Chile) require international travelers 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 details about these fees. If you would like more information prior to booking, please contact your Travel Agent.

REFUNDS Please note that any request for a refund is subject to these Terms & Conditions; no refund will be made for unused services of less than 48 consecutive hours for unused transportation where group activity tickets are involved or for voluntary modifications made by the traveler. Airport transfers are complimentary with air booked through Globus on qualifying ex-USA flights and dates. However, not all flights or dates qualify. Customers not using the included transfer will not be given a cash equivalent, or vacation price reduction. Under the same conditions, no refunds are made for Avalon Waterways vacations.

SERVICE INQUIRIES AFTER THE VACATION After returning from your vacation, if you wish to inquire about any services provided, please ensure that all correspondence relating to those services is received by Globus, Traveler Services, Group Voyagers, Inc. (see the complete address under “Responsibility”). Any grievance involving the vacation services offered in the brochure, or on the website, involving the negligence of any suppliers, sub-contractors, or agents, in relation to any service provided to the vacation participant, must be communicated to Globus while on vacation or within 30 days of the vacation completion. If there is a failure to communicate within this timeframe, it will be deemed that the vacation participant is satisfied with the services available. Compliance with the above timeframe is in your interest as any delay in forwarding the complaint could result in reduction or even rejection of the expected refund or compensation grievance from the supplier as it could take time by the supplier to properly investigate a grievance and could also get difficult and impossible to properly investigate if Globus is not advised of the grievance quickly. Hence, it is in your interest that you follow the complaints procedure set out in this clause.

HOLIDAYS 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.

Christmas market vacations: please note that Christmas markets generally close around the 3rd week of December.

SAFETY Please be aware that during your participation in 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 be liable for 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 not hold Globus responsible for 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 unforeseen risks and dangers and agree to not hold Globus responsible for such.

PHOTOGRAPHS OR PICTURES Photographs or pictures appearing in this brochure should be used solely as an indication of facilities and attractions. Actual facilities and attractions may vary and differ according to the 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 ACTIVITIES & EXCURSIONS Optional activities and 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 and Conditions, even where Globus suggests particular operators/other third parties and/or assists you in booking such optional activities or 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 activity or 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 activity or excursion and shall not be held liable or accountable, financially or otherwise, for any cancellations, deficiencies, or shortcomings in the said services.

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, guaranteed, or controlled by Globus or that any such advice or assistance is given or assured on behalf of Globus. Vacation participants are asked to check with the operator of any optional activity or excursion and the applicable Terms & Conditions before booking. For operational reasons, not all optional excursions listed in the tour itinerary, in print or online, or in travel documents, may be available during your vacation. Your Tour Director or Local Host will advise of availability while on tour.

Optional activities and excursions purchased in advance of travel at MyGlobus, MyCosmos, MyAvalon, and MyMonograms are non-refundable within 11 days of commencement of services, unless otherwise listed as non-refundable at time of purchase.

WI-FIWi-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.

ITINERARY CHANGES–CRUISES In the event of water level problems on stretches of any river, or of technical problems of any nature, it may be necessary to operate part of the itinerary by motorcoach. Globus reserves the right to change the itinerary whenever conditions, in the opinion of the Master of the Ship or local waterways regulations, render it advisable or necessary. In addition, river and other local authorities often need to carry out repair or maintenance work on the river or canal banks, stretches of river or canal, bridges, locks or docks, or other areas that may impede river cruise travel. This is frequently undertaken with little or no advance notice to river cruise operators, and can cause Globus to make changes to the published itinerary or to operate part of the itinerary by motorcoach with little to no advance notice. These events are beyond our control and Globus shall not be held responsible for any loss, expense, or inconvenience caused by reasons of such changes.

Globus reserves the right to cancel, advance, or postpone any scheduled tour and/or sailing date and may, but is not obligated to, substitute another vessel, and shall not be liable for any loss whatsoever to tour/cruise participants by reason of any such cancellation, advancement, or postponement. In the event of cancellation by Globus, tour/cruise participants’ only right of recourse shall be to a refund of monies paid to Globus in connection with such tour/cruise without any additional compensation. In the event of charters of the vessels, strikes, lockouts, riots, or stoppage of labor for whatever cause or for any other reason whatsoever, Globus may at any time cancel, advance, or postpone any scheduled sailing and may, but is not obliged to, substitute another vessel and shall not be liable for any loss whatsoever on any account or under any head

to tour/cruise participants by reason of any such cancellation, advancement, or postponement.

RESPONSIBILITY Group Voyagers, Inc., located at 5301 South Federal Circle, Littleton, Colorado 80123, USA, is an independent company (“the Company”) licensed to market and distribute travel products under the Globus, Cosmos, Avalon Waterways, and Monograms brand names, and arrange for the vacation services offered in the brochure or its website, including transportation, sightseeing, and accommodations through independent contracts.

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, associates, sister concerns, employees, servants, or joint ventures 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 subject to the laws of the countries in which the services are supplied.

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 which 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., but not limited to the Warsaw Convention, the Montreal 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.

After departure, if the services included in the vacation cannot be supplied or there are changes in an itinerary for any reason whatsoever, including 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. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a vacation participant; to expel any participant from the vacation or any itinerary in the vacation for indecent, disorderly, or inappropriate behavior; 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.

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 Trip Protection plan, or any other person.
