Specialized Group Vacations and Opportunities
Globus Religious Vacations
One of the hottest trends in the last five years is religious travel. Since the birth of Christ, people went on pilgrimages as a key way to spread the word of the gospel, and connect on a deeper level with their faith. A recent study by the Menlo Consulting Group on religious travel indicated that over the next five years, over 15 million people are planning on embarking on a faithbased trip—this represents 1/3 of all outbound travelers! The study also revealed the following:
- 4 out of 5 past religious travelers intend to repeat the experience
- 73% feel that a group, escorted, religious vacation is the way to go
- 60% indicated that they wanted a "balance" of faith-based and traditional touring activities
This is just a small sampling of our top-selling group religious programs. From the Holy Land to the Vatican, trust Globus Religious Travel to give your group the faith-based trip of a lifetime. We provide your group with the comfort and knowledge of selling Globus quality, consistency, and security.

Globus Family Travel
Don't shy away from talking about group travel during everyday activities such as a function at your kid's school or at a family gathering. Families can be instant groups! Reunions, anniversaries, and notable birthdays are a great way to position Globus Family Travel and provides a unique experience for the entire family to share. Designed to meet the needs of families with children or grandchildren ages 8 to 17, these 8- to 12-day family-friendly vacations feature activities that appeal to all ages, family-oriented optional excursions, and hotels positioned in the middle of the action. The main goal is togetherness.
Student Travel
Experience is a great teacher. It takes standing in the middle of the Colosseum to truly appreciate the significance of Roman times. You need to be able to run your hand across the names engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC to comprehend the loss. Travel has the power to open young minds, unlock possibilities, and unveil understanding where the classroom just can't. On Student Discoveries travel programs, students pay attention, ask more questions, and actually learn more. From the sub-culture of New York City's Chinatown to Italy's world-changing architecture, students' minds opens further when they're filled with the sights and sounds of important places around the world. And what they learn on the streets of Boston or in Tower of London won't just be filed away for a pop quiz, but for something much more important—life itself.

Custom Groups
Despite our wide variety of vacation options, Globus knows that there are times when only a custom tour will satisfy the needs of your clients. That is why if you have at least 20 travelers and cannot find the right vacation in our portfolio, we will design a custom itinerary or themed vacation especially for your group. Utilizing our worldwide buying power, we will provide you with a net quotation, delivering the best value while still exceeding your groups' expectations. Your group will enjoy the same high-quality vacation they have come to expect from the Globus family of brands, but with the added benefit of it being uniquely designed for them.
Charters
River cruises are more popular than ever and Avalon Waterways delivers a great group experience. We are happy to work with you to charter an entire sailing for your group. Our fleet offers a wide variety of dates, itineraries, destinations, and experiences for large groups. Your clients will only have to unpack once, enjoying the convenience of river cruising and the intimacy of a private sailing.
Private Motorcoach
With just 30 passengers in your group, you can secure an entire motorcoach and the sole attention of a Tour Director. This style of travel allows you to customize your group's experience beyond our standard brochure departure to include group-specific optionals, meals, or other arrangements to make the experience completely unique.
