Globus is going small in a big way.

The Globus family of brands, which markets and sells Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways has launched more than 50 Small-Group Discovery tours across the globe. The brand-new tour type is designed for travelers who desire the intimacy of small-group travel.

“Our new Small Group Discovery tours were built from the ground up, specifically for small groups, with unique accommodations, exclusive excursions and special access throughout Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, South America and the South Pacific,” said Scott Nisbet, president and chief executive officer for the Globus family of brands.

These immersive experience tours offer more freedom, more flexibility and room to roam the ruins of Italy, the rainforests of Costa Rica, the pagodas of Japan and the preserves of Kenya, leading travelers to private wine tastings, cooking classes, art classes and quaint estates along the way. Tours are available throughout Europe, North America and exotic destinations from Kenya to Costa Rica, Columbia to Cambodia and Australia to Japan.
