NOTES
The Ghan Train features twin cabins with upper and lower berths, wash basin, toilet, and shower. Single cabins feature a single berth and wash basin with shared toilet and shower facilities.
This tour visits remote regions where some facilities are not up to the first-class standards you expect from Globus. However, we have selected the best available hotels that satisfy our high standards of cleanliness and comfort.
Lighting the Path to a Better Tomorrow
For nearly a century, the Globus family of brands has shed light on the world’s most fascinating places and people – allowing travelers to bask in their glory, intrigue, and wonder. As we explore ancient pathways, historic hallways, and storied sidewalks of the world around us, we gain deeper knowledge, compassion, and understanding of the world and its people than ever before.
By partnering with like-minded organizations that care for our planet and the people and places we cherish, we’re committed to playing our part in advancing causes through conservation, preservation, and humanitarian partnerships.
Let It Shine.
While a lighthouse may stand alone, we can come together to light up the world’s exceptional places – and extraordinary faces. Enter the Globus Lighthouse Project – an illuminating initiative where we can all come together to tread lightly and give generously for the globe’s greater good. Globus, along with sister companies Cosmos and Avalon Waterways, invites our travelers and partners to help us in supporting causes that provide for a more sustainable planet and a brighter tomorrow for the planet, people, and places we treasure.
The National WWII Museum
Telling the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world.
Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in ‘the war that changed the world’—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.
Paws for this Cause: Our Promise for Ethical Wildlife Encounters
The Globus family believes the world's four-legged, furry, feathered, and fragile wildlife populations are precious to our planet—and in need of protection. As part of our commitment to the welfare of wildlife worldwide, Globus has adopted the guidelines of World Animal Protection to end the use of wild animals as entertainment. By creating an animal welfare policy, we are committed to protect wild animals by not selling, offering, or promoting venues or activities involving wild animal entertainment, such as rides, bathing, walks, and shows. We will only offer responsible viewing of wild animals in the wild or semi-wild habitats and with a high standard of animal welfare and conservation. These guidelines are currently in practice, and we are committed to full compliance by April, 2025.
Keeping the world in its best light.
While nothing is more exciting than tracing the paths of historic legends, doing so with the most minimal footprint excites us even more. We make every effort to conserve and preserve in each destination we visit by helping to protect the waterways, wild places, and wildlife by supporting and shining a light on organizations that do the same.
Keeping the blue planet green.
We love caring for the world just as much as we love sharing it with you! By booking a Globus escorted tour, you’re helping us do just that! Travel confidently, knowing that we support a leading champion for the environment, Trees4Travel.
The Globus family of brands works with Trees4Travel by planting trees to help restore ecosystems, biodiversity, and support indigenous communities, whilst simultaneously reducing carbon emissions by backing up every tree with United Nations renewable energy projects - our Globus guests are also invited to join us in that effort. This is a small way we make a big difference in helping to reduce our environmental impact, while keeping our commitment to bigger experiences and smaller footprints.
The forests for the trees.
While a single tree doesn't make a forest, Globus believes in the power of people and their effect on the world as a whole. Enjoy the anticipation and excitement of your upcoming adventure, while making a difference in the world we discover together. You may also choose to make a personal donation of your own to Trees4Travel to help make the world even greener!
The planet-focused initiatives we support include:
- Trees4Travel
- Wildlife Conservation Network, Lion Recovery Fund
- South African Parks Honorary Rangers
- Ecostyle Reforestation and Conservation Project
Additionally, we shine a light on the following organizations through a combination of vacation visits and donations:
- Monkey Rehabilitation Center, Brazil
- Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Baby Elephant & Rhino Rescue, Kenya
- National Kiwi Conservation Project, New Zealand
- Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, Australia
- The Kangaroo Sanctuary, Australia
- Elephant Nature Park, Thailand

About Globus
It’s a big world out there—with dizzying options for sightseeing, transportation and accommodations. Why spend hours trying to figure it out on your own when we’ve spent nearly a century perfecting the art of travel planning? With one-stop shopping, you can secure an exclusive experience with all the right inclusions.
Beyond the Guidebooks.
While it might be the iconic sights of the world that first entice us to pack our bags for adventure, it’s often something quite different that beckons us to return—the towns with no traffic, the coasts with no crowds, the nooks with no noise. Globus designs the perfect balance of the hero sights you mustn’t miss and the hidden gems you otherwise would, offering a deeper glimpse into the world’s most intriguing destinations. Join us to veer off the beaten path, break away from the packs, and even break bread with the locals for an unparalleled vacation beyond the guidebooks that you couldn’t create on your own.
Don't Miss the Must Sees.
Why stand in line to catch a fleeting glimpse of ancient ruins and remarkable historic sites that have been standing for centuries? Globus gives you VIP access with an expert Local Guide to go deeper, get closer, and soak it all in. From the Sistine Chapel to Sydney Harbour, you’ll explore the world’s most iconic locations without getting lost in a crowd or waiting in line. Don’t just file past masterpieces or magnificent views with only a hurried look at centuries-old treasures. Experience the world’s extraordinary sights—and historic sites—from Europe to Australia to South America and beyond!
A Friend in Every City.
Join us and a few of our friends in your next dream destination. After all, we’ve spent nearly a century making friends in virtually every city and country in the world who share local secrets like where to find the best scone, stein, or sake; the best people-watching table; or the best view of wide-open spaces. Every Globus vacation includes local experts to share the stories behind the sights and local favorites you won’t find in the guidebooks. Globus Tour Directors and Local Guides hail from the region through which you’re traveling. No one is more familiar, passionate, or eager to share insider knowledge than our local pros!
A Local Slice of Life.
When in Rome—or London, Paris, Manhattan, or Melbourne—we arrange for you to do as the locals do, not just what the tourists do. In every itinerary, we include hands-on, authentic experiences for a true taste of a day in the life. Board a private water taxi through the Grand Canal of Venice, greet a Grecian sunset with a glass of ouzo, find a hidden city in the clouds in Peru, or take painting lessons from nature with an Australian Outback sunrise. Whichever path you choose to explore, you’re sure to step into someone else’s shoes and experience the world from an insider’s perspective on a Globus tour.
Adventure, A la Carte.
Maybe you’re an art lover, a foodie, or a history buff. Perhaps you’re moved by music, the theater, or the great outdoors. We offer a creative menu of optional excursions and activities—tailored to a variety of fitness levels—so you can make your adventure with your own personal passions and preferences. Each Globus excursion and activity has been tested by us and handpicked just for you! You never have to choose between included and optional excursions, since optional activities fit seamlessly with your vacation schedule, and we build freedom into every itinerary so you can stroll, meander, and linger!
Craveable Destinations.
A pan of zesty paella. A bowl of creamy chowder. A cup of chilled ceviche. A cone of creamy gelato. One of the most rewarding ways to experience a different culture is through its unique cuisine. We offer the right mix of included meals and on-your-own dining exploration for a well-balanced culinary journey. Stumbling upon that quiet candlelit café, lively street vendor, or bustling local market can be some of the most memorable moments of your vacation. The best part of waking up is knowing that breakfast is ready! The most important meal of the day is included on every Globus vacation so you can easily fuel up to feed your passions.
Places of Dreams.
Goodbye scouring endless online reviews. Hello pre-screened and hand-selected hotels near the sights and views you’ve always dreamed of. We’ve personally visited and reserved the best rooms around the world based on location, comfort, and style—all first-class and above and many with rich histories that are destinations in their own right. Check in perfectly relaxed knowing we’ve already checked everything out. For the duration of your journey, we’ve arranged all baggage handling from coach to hotel to train to ferry. So once you’ve packed your bag, you can forget about it. We do the heavy lifting and take care of the tips, too, so all you have to do is settle in!
Enjoy the Journey.
Forget everything you think you know about “bus tours” and think “on tour” instead. Like your favorite rock stars, you’ll travel from city to city and village to village in the most modern of comforts. From high-speed and mountain trains to river cruise ships and ferries, you’ll see the world from a variety of exhilarating vantage points. Aboard our private, first-class coaches, you'll enjoy large windows, plush seats, ample legroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and an emergency restroom. If you prefer the VIP treatment (and who doesn’t?) we can also arrange your flights to and from home with airport transfers for a totally seamless vacation.
Connecting you to the World.
Travel is all about connection. Connecting to new people and places, while always staying connected to the world.
