WE’VE SPENTTHE LAST 80 YEARS

WE’VE SPENT THE LAST 80 YEARSPLANNING YOUR VACATION OUR STORY BEGAN OVER 80 YEARS AGOWhen you select a Globus vacation, you’re choosing a company with more than 80 years of experience…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 and legends of his home with others. He soon began transporting tourists instead…and Globus was born. Since then, we’ve committed ourselves to continually refining our itineraries and procedures to ensure that you get the most out of your Globus vacation.

There is something special about Alaska, something adventurous, something natural, something powerful. From the spectacular scenery and majestic mountains to the incredible wildlife and friendly people, experience the beauty of the Great Land with Globus aboard a spectacular 7-day Holland America Line cruise.

Globus offers a selection of Alaska cruise itineraries sailing through the highlights of southeast and south central Alaska. As an added bonus, the majority of our cruises feature breathtaking Glacier Bay National Park!

ALASKA CRUISE EXTENSIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE FOLLOWING VACATIONS:

� Spectacular Alaska! (AJI, see page 26) � Nature’s Best: Alaska (CKI, see page 28) � Ultimate Alaska & the Yukon (CBI, see page 30) � Spirit of the Rockies (CRI, see page 34) � Grand Western Canada Vacation (CGI, see page 38) � Great Canadian Rail Journey (CZI, see page 48)

PORTS OF CALL & CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS See each vacation’s full description, page numbers noted above, for the exact itinerary offered.

COLLEGE FJORD (SCENIC CRUISING)Only one place in Alaska surrounds you on three sides with flowing rivers of ice. This fjord is home to the largest number of tidewater glaciers in the world. Cruise past one dramatic tidewater glacier after another—an awesome assemblage of Ice Age wonders.

GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK (SCENIC CRUISING)This Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in an ever-changing glacial landscape. Here, witness an amazing spectacle of thunder and flying spray as tremendous slabs of ice break off and “calve” into the sea—making for lasting memories. National Park rangers accompany the ship to add expert commentary to the day’s events.

HAINESNestled on the shores of America’s longest fjord, Haines enjoys a spectacular setting. You may choose to fill your day with a float trip through Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, home to the largest annual gathering of Bald Eagles, the nation’s avian symbol. Or, visit the Sheldon Museum, art galleries, and local shops in town.

INSIDE PASSAGE (SCENIC CRUISING)Sit back and relax as you cruise through the beautiful and awe-inspiring scenery of the Inside Passage. Keep your cameras ready for spouting whales, soaring eagles, barking seals, and other wildlife.

JUNEAUVisit one of the most scenic and remote capital cities—Juneau. Accessible only by air and water, Juneau is located at the base of two towering mountains in the heart of Alaska’s Inside Passage, and is home

to a rich Gold Rush history, Native culture, wildlife, and a wealth of natural wonders. Step ashore to shop for gold nuggets; visit the stately Governor’s Mansion; saunter through the swinging doors of the Red Dog Saloon, the city’s famous watering hole; or visit mighty Mendenhall Glacier, an impressive river of ice that is 12 miles long and 1.5 miles wide.

KETCHIKANExperience Native Alaska firsthand. Meet the spirits of the raven, whale, and eagle as you view the largest collection of totems in the world at Saxman Totem Park or Totem Bight State Historic Park. Or, explore Creek Street, now home to contemporary art galleries and quaint boutiques.

SKAGWAYOnce a major port for gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon, today you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon Route narrow-gauge railway up past Deadhorse Gulch to see what it was like ages ago. Step back in time as you stroll the wooden sidewalks of the town, preserved as a national historic park.

TRACY ARMThis narrow, 26-mile-long fjord is another of Alaska’s most dramatic glacier settings. The lush rainforest recedes to reveal a stunning canyon of bare rock. The panorama of 7,000-foot mountain peaks and nearly vertical rock cliffs is astounding. Waterfalls appear at every turn. Icebergs make their way to the sea in all sorts of wondrous shapes. And tucked away at the end of this remarkable waterway are two very active reminders of the Ice Age—the twin Sawyer Glaciers, which calve icebergs into the jade-colored inland sea. Kittiwakes, mountain goats, and seals are a common sight. Whales and bears may even make an appearance in this magical place.

Enjoy the ship’s theme of Dutch life and exploration, with more than $2 million worth of art and artifacts

beautifully displayed throughout the ship. The Van Gogh Theater is a work of art in itself, commemorating Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings The Starry Night and Irises. In the center of the ship, a 3-story atrium showcases an elaborate 26-foot-high Fountain of the Siren sculpture. Traveling aboard the MS Statendam is world-class cruising at its finest.

MS VOLENDAMThe beautiful garden theme of the MS Volendam is reflected in an artful floral motif throughout the ship’s spacious public rooms and elegant staterooms. In addition to fresh flowers throughout the ship, a collection of incredible artwork enhances the interior—everything from pre-Columbian

fetishes and sculptures to Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy.

MS ZAANDAMSpacious public areas and plush accommodations feature a musically themed shipboard atmosphere. Inspired by the world’s great music, artifacts and memorabilia from a variety of musical genres decorate the ship. You’ll find musical instruments such as Bill Clinton’s saxophone and signed

guitars from Queen, Iggy Pop, Eric Clapton, and the Rolling Stones used as art objects throughout the ship. At the heart of the MS Zaandam in a soaring 3-story atrium is a baroque-style Dutch pipe organ, inspired by the traditional barrel organs still found on the streets of the Netherlands.

MS ZUIDERDAMEmbracing the latest industry and environmental technologies, such as her use of a diesel-electric power plant for optimal energy efficiency, you will find the MS Zuiderdam forward-looking in both design and spirit. At the heart of the MS Zuiderdam, suspended in a 3-story atrium, a Waterford Crystal

Seahorse sets the mood for exquisite pieces of art to be seen throughout this elegant ship. You will also discover a large collection of antiques and centuries-old paintings throughout the ship.

Spend time this afternoon in the Town Square, where you can see an old-fashioned shoot out, shop for souvenirs, or sidle up to one of the real saddle barstools at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar for a bite to eat. Later this afternoon, see what Lewis and Clark experienced when they were looking for the Oregon Trail as you board a horse-drawn COVERED WAGON and ride into Cache Creek Canyon. Keep an eye out for the Indians who live in the area, as you never know who you may encounter on the trail.

DAY 5 EXPLORE THE HEART OF YELLOWSTONE. (Tue.)Time today to further explore Yellowstone. Perhaps stroll along Firehole River to one of the park’s backcountry geysers, visit remote bubbling mud pots, trek up a mountain pass with breathtaking scenic views, or hike through wildflower-filled meadows along a cool, sparkling creek. Be ready for fun and adventure as you immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Yellowstone’s wilderness. (B)

DAY 6 EXPERIENCE A REAL WESTERN RODEO. (Wed.)Watch for wildlife today as you travel east out of Yellowstone and head for Cody, named after dashing Buffalo Bill Cody. Visit the BUFFALO BILL HISTORICAL CENTER, which tells the history of the American cowboy, dude ranching, Western conservation, and frontier entrepreneurship. This evening, enjoy reserved grandstand tickets at the CODY RODEO. Here in the “Rodeo Capital of the World,” witness America’s original sport with fearless bull riders, high-flying broncs, brawny steer wrestlers, and daredevil rodeo clowns—action that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat! (B)

DAY 7 STEP BACK IN TIME TO THE DINOSAUR AGES. (Thu.)Enjoy this morning’s scenic drive through the Bighorn Mountains on your way to Hot Springs, where you will step back in time to the Ice Age when giant Mammoth walked these lands. Visit the world’s largest MAMMOTH SITE, where a sinkhole formed 26,000 years ago. Looking like a watering hole, Ice Age animals were lured to the pond by the warm water and pond vegetation, but they quickly learned there was no escaping the steep shale banks. Eventually, the sink hole closed up, burying the remains until a chance discovery in 1974. Today you can walk the edges of the sinkhole and get a close-up view of the fossils found here, including Columbian and woolly mammoths, giant short-faced bears, llamas, wolves, and fish. Learn about the preservation, research, and interpretation of this site—and even see scientists at work in a paleontology laboratory. Continue into Custer State Park, your home for the next two nights. (B)

SPECIAL FEATURE We overnight at the Historic State Game Lodge in Custer State Park. This gracious lodge is set in a beautiful mountain valley, surrounded by a ponderosa pine forest. The State Game Lodge served as the “Summer White House” for President Calvin Coolidge and was visited by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was built in 1920 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

DAY 8 SPEND A MONUMENTAL DAY AT CRAZY HORSE & MOUNT RUSHMORE. (Fri.)Journey through the rolling hills of Wyoming’s Powder River Basin and the Black Hills, arriving in South Dakota. See CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL, created in honor of the fearless Sioux Indian chief, and MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, featuring the monumental likenesses of four U.S. Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. Tonight your Tour Director hosts a special SEND-OFF CELEBRATION DINNER. Begin by

traveling by open-air Jeep into the backcountry for a BUFFALO SAFARI in search of the herds of bison, elk, and deer that thrive here. Your adventure takes you into a secluded canyon for an outdoor STEAKFRY, complete with all the fixin’s and some boot-scootin’ entertainment—the perfect finale for your Wild West family vacation! (B,D)

DAY 9 CUSTER STATE PARK-RAPID CITY. (SAT.)Head to Rapid City Airport for guests with homebound flights. Please schedule flights after Noon. The motorcoach then continues into Rapid City, where the vacation ends. (B)

feet above sea level. Marvel at the crater’s eerie, lunar-like landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely amazing. Depart for the “Big Island” at 6 pm. (B,L,D)

DAY 7 HILO. (Tue.) Larger than Hawaii’s other main islands combined, the Big Island of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. Pristine beaches, curious lava formations, the earth’s tallest sea mountain, and the world’s most continuously active volcano all make this island a completely unique adventure. The entire day is open to independent activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore excursions, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls that cascade into a circular pool in the Wailuku River—as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in the mist. Then, experience the fascinating drive along the 11-mile Crater Rim to enjoy a unique view of this volcanic landscape. Arrive in Hilo at 8 am and depart for Kona at 6 pm. (B,L,D)

DAY 8 KONA. (Wed.) A morning arrival in Kona. Choose a helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of Kilauea Volcano’s active areas, ranging from surface flows to skylights to bubbling lava. After a brief return to Hilo’s airport, take to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii’s lush rainforest and Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, discover the historic city of Kona along Hawaii’s beautiful sun-drenched Gold Coast. Your route will take you past ancient temples, fields of coffee and macadamia nuts, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Arrive in Kona at 7 am and depart for Kauai at 6 pm. (B,L,D)

DAY 9 KAUAI. (Thu.) The “Garden Isle” of Kauai has a lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle all its own. After all, it is Hawaii’s oldest island and, as first-born, has a legacy of paradise to uphold. A trip around Kauai is a feast of tropical forest, cascading waterfalls, golden-sand beaches, swaying palms, majestic mountains, and almost-daily rainbows. A full day of activity awaits your participation. You may choose an excursion to enjoy the dramatic natural attraction of 2,857-foot-deep Waimea Canyon and a ride up the Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. Arrive at 8 am and overnight in Kauai. (B,L,D)

DAY 10 KAUAI. (Fri.) Today is the perfect day to relax and enjoy the sandy beaches of Kauai or to shop for souvenirs before departing for Honolulu at 2 pm. (B,L,D)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWBEFORE YOU GO 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 a Tour Director, transportation, many meals, a rich sightseeing program, and more!

OUR PRICE GUARANTEEVacation prices are per person, based on double occupancy, and do not include airfare except as noted on the itinerary pages. Single room supplements and triple room reductions are listed where applicable; not all accommodation types are available on all vacations. We encourage full deposit early to secure your space and to protect the price of your vacation. Prices are subject to increase without notice, subject to the guarantees set forth below.

Once the Globus family of brands has received your full non-refundable deposit, your vacation price is guaranteed and you are protected against any base land price increase due to currency surcharge. Any subsequent cost increases are at our expense, not including energy cost increases and/or any government tax increases.

If you purchase air through the Globus family of brands, an additional $250 per person non-refundable deposit is required to protect your air fare price. Please note that the Globus family of brands reserves the right to ticket passengers upon receipt of full land and air deposit. Thus, any changes at your request made after receipt of your full deposit are subject to airline-imposed change fees and/or changes in airfare price. These fees are your responsibility to pay and will be required at time of request. This includes name changes or name alterations.

Air is only available to passengers traveling from the United States and is only available when booked in conjunction with a Globus family of brands vacation.

Vacation departures in 2013 are subject to price and itinerary modifications. Full details will be available in October 2012. Passengers have the right to cancel their reservation without penalty within 7 days of notification in the event of price increases or itinerary changes for departures in 2013.

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

AVOID THE SINGLE ROOM SUPPLEMENTSingle rooms cost extra and often are quite small. We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of a vacation. Sidestep the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It is less expensive and much more fun!

DISCOUNT FOR YOUNG TRAVELERSShare the pleasure of a Globus family of brands vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10% discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years old on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. In our many years of traveling experience, we have found that children under the age of eight typically are too young to fully enjoy an escorted or cruise vacation. Because of this and for the safety and enjoyment of all passengers, we do not accept children under eight years of age on our escorted or cruise vacations. On Globus Family Vacations we accept children from the age of 5; please see the dates and prices box for current young traveler pricing.

The above discounts do not apply to any intra-tour flights.

GUIDE FOR TRAVEL AGENTS THERE ARE THREE EASY WAYS TO BOOK A VACATION WITH THE GLOBUS FAMILY OF BRANDS: � Use our Online Reservation System at www.globusjourneys.com/agents � Call our Travel Consultants at 800.221.0090 � Fax 303.347.2080

HOW TO READ THE PRICE BOXES IN THIS BROCHUREThe departure number and the two to four letters assigned to each vacation are the code you and your client will need as a reference.

AIRFor up-to-the-minute air prices, ask our Travel Consultants. We can quote roundtrip airfares and taxes immediately.

An additional $250 non-refundable deposit is required for air booked in conjunction with any land vacation. Air is on request until we confirm flight schedules via faxed or e-mailed invoice to you, generally on the day you make the booking. If we are unable to confirm any air space, we will revise your booking to land-only. If your client wishes to change the booking to land-only within two business days of air confirmation, there is no revision fee and the additional airfare deposit is refunded.

After receipt of full deposit, a fee of US$30 per transaction will be charged for any alteration or revision made to the land portion of a reservation that does not impact air schedules or airfares. For air-inclusive bookings, Globus reserves the right to ticket passengers upon receipt of full land and air deposit and thus any subsequent changes and/or revisions to, or affecting, airline reservations at the passenger’s request after receipt of full land and air deposit are subject to revision fees and/or airline imposed change or cancellation fees. Generally, these fees start at $250 and 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 the passenger’s request are payable to Globus at time of revision.

AIRPORT TRANSFERSFor air-inclusive vacations, transfers are included if brochure dates are purchased. If land-only and your client wants to purchase arrival and departure transfers, we will need your

client’s flight number five weeks prior to departure. Transfers are available for purchase on air-inclusive vacations with extra nights. Please check with our Travel Consultant for details.

EXCELLENT HOTELS & FINE DININGAt the end of a busy day of sightseeing, you want to relax in comfortable, clean, attractive accommodations. At our conveniently located hotels, you’ll always feel welcome and well looked after.

DELIVERING THE BEST EXPERIENCES We know that excellent accom modations are of paramount impor tance to your enjoy ment on vacation. Our hotels—many of them through long association with us—have mastered the art of handling group check-ins and baggage speedily, and balancing the need for efficiency with the desire of each traveler to receive individual attention.

MODERATE DELUXE, SUPERIOR FIRST-CLASS & FIRST-CLASS HOTELS NEARLY EVERYWHEREGlobus is proud to be associated with some of the world’s finest establishments. The specific hotels we have selected for you are listed separately for each vacation. The vast majority of them are deluxe (D), superior first-class (SF), first-class (F), moderate first-class (MF), or National Park (NP) establishments. In a few overnight places, where there is no hotel in these categories, we choose the best available (BA) hotels.

Globus hotel ratings follow standards set by the independent Hotel & Travel Index and by national tourist boards. The specific rating for each contract hotel is determined by our quality controllers.

We reserve the right to substitute hotels listed on the itinerary pages with hotels of equivalent standard. With your Globus travel documents you’ll receive a list of hotel addresses, telephone numbers, and fax numbers for your vacation.

WHY GLOBUS IS BETTEREven though our main competitors use hotels with comparable quality, none of them has mastered the art of creating vacations that will enthrall you and enrich you, with lots of side trips, adventurous optionals, and many other memorable experiences.

A HEARTY BREAKFAST TO START YOUR DAYStart each vacation day the right way—with included breakfast! From full breakfast with hot entrees to continental breakfast or buffet, the type of breakfast you’ll enjoy is specified in every itinerary.

DINING IN STYLE*With Globus, culinary highlights are tailored to each vacation and may include welcome and farewell dinners, food and wine tastings, and fine dinners at local restaurants. Plus, we give you freedom to take advantage of the best a city has to offer by not including dinners where they clash with show times or where dining locally is a major attraction. As always, your Tour Director will be right there to direct you to the perfect restaurants, nightclubs, and theaters.

*We usually cannot process requests for special meals. Some hotels and restaurants may be able to provide for a special diet—such as vegetarian or salt-free food—there is no way to guarantee this. Special food may have an additional cost associated; please ask your Tour Director for assistance.

MORE SIGHTSEEING, MORE LEISURE TIME, MORE FUNTraveling North America means seeing the sights—the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, Zion National Park in Utah, Butchart Gardens in Victoria, and more. With Globus, important visits are included in the price.

Globus vacations feature all the essential sightseeing plus many highlights that either are unavailable or cost extra with other operators. Of course, we also take care to leave enough free time for the less energetic to rest and the independently minded to explore on their own. The ideal balance between included sightseeing and leisure time!

GLOBUS WELCOME MEETINGS & FAREWELL DINNERSTo start your vacation off, your Tour Director will host a welcome meeting on most of our vacations where you will learn about your upcoming adventure. We’ve gone to great lengths to make sure you’ll enjoy the “Globus Difference” at our farewell dinners —the perfect finale to your vacation.

LOCAL GUIDES & INSIDE VISITSIn major cities, national parks, and places of historical interest, resident experts offer perspectives and insights that complement your Tour Director’s

commentary. Sightseeing with Local Guides is clearly listed and with Globus we take care of the Local Guide’s tips for you (in North America)!

LEISURE TIME FUN—SOMETHING FOR EVERY TASTEYour Globus Tour Director is always on hand with suggestions on how to make the most of every minute of your free time. We have planned for you an impressive array of optional highlights: dazzling folklore shows, fascinating side trips, delicious local specialty meals, and exciting rides. Each excursion gives you a taste of the region’s flavor, and sharing these experiences with new friends can add extra touches to your journey that make it unforgettable.

TRIP SCALE: Leisurely � �On the GoBecause Globus offers so many vacation options, we’ve added a Trip Scale to our itinerary pages to make it easy to determine the pace and sightseeing ratings at a glance.

THE BEST WAY TO SEE NORTH AMERICAWe offer many modes of transportation—from trains and motorcoaches to cruise ships and ferries.

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 and Canadian vacations you’ll board railcars. Our itineraries also include lake cruises, river jetboat rides, mountain gondola crossings, whale-watching expeditions, and cruises. To see if the vacation of your choice includes one of these features, just check out the map on the itinerary page. You’ll see that alternative modes of travel are clearly pictured.

GLOBUS DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALSGlobus drivers take pride in driving and in their vehicles, keeping them in great shape and spotlessly clean. 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!

SMOKE-FREE MOTORCOACHESFor non-smokers and moderate smokers an otherwise perfect vacation can be spoiled if they are forced to inhale other people’s smoke. Therefore, we do not allow smoking on the motorcoach. There are plenty of opportunities to smoke during the frequent stops.

RIDE IN COMFORTEach Globus vehicle has upholstered, reclining seats with headrests, and is fully air-conditioned. Each motorcoach in North America is equipped with an emergency washroom. We deliberately use the term “emergency” because this facility is not meant to be used in lieu of restrooms at our frequent comfort stops.

Flight details should be sent apart from other correspondence or payment and must be received no later than five weeks prior to departure. Look for confirmation of your transfer arrangements in your important travel documents.

AIR COORDINATED WITH VACATION DATESWith the Globus family of brands, think of your entire vacation as one-stop shopping. Rather than spending hours researching flight option to coordinate with your vacation start and end dates, let us handle the work. And when we book your air, if there are any changes to your vacation schedule, we make the air changes for you.

COMPETITIVE PRICES WITHOUT THE HASSLEAs a completely independent tour operator, we have no ties to any one airline. We have negotiated the lowest possible airfares with the world’s finest carriers on behalf of our travelers. Plus, the Globus family of brands’ buying power means generally better rates for you.

AIRFARESWe offer low airfares for all of the destinations in this brochure from cities across the U.S. Call our Travel Consultants for information. Various

domestic and international taxes and fees are not included in the airfare 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 (please see the “Applicable airfare taxes & fees” section that follows).

HOW WE SELECT YOUR FLIGHTSSince seats at the lowest airfares fill quickly, we urge you to book early. Air-inclusive reservations cannot be made later than 10 days prior to departure. Certain destinations may be more restrictive, and additional rules may apply. Ask our Travel Consultants for details. Although we will try, the Globus family of brands cannot always honor carrier or flight preferences.

Air tickets will be sent to your travel agent two to three weeks prior to vacation departure. Please be advised that electronic tickets will be issued for the majority of air itineraries. If you would like to request a paper ticket, a $50 charge per ticket will be assessed at the time of booking.

GUARANTEED AIR-INCLUSIVE PRICESAn additional $250 non-refundable deposit is required for air booked in conjunction with any land/cruise vacation. Once the Globus family of brands has received your full air and land deposit, your airfare will be confirmed and your air-inclusive vacation price is guaranteed. Air is only available to passengers traveling from the United States and only available when booked in conjunction with a land/cruise vacation.

Please remember, the Globus family of brands reserves the right to ticket passengers upon receipt of full land and air deposit thus any subsequent changes and/ or revisions to airline reservations at your request after receipt of full land and air deposit are subject to revision fees and/or airline imposed change or cancellation fees. Generally, these fees are $250 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.

WE ALSO ACCEPT YOUR RESERVATION ON A LAND-ONLY BASISWhile booking an air-inclusive vacation through the Globus family of brands gives you all the advantages described here, you can also choose the land-only option. But remember, airlines’ “sale” fares generally apply to very brief periods and you are often are required to pay the full airfare at the time of booking. The Globus family of brands negotiates substantially discounted fares with airlines throughout the year and guarantees your air-inclusive price upon payment of your air and land deposit.

AIRFARE TAXES & FEESTaxes and fees are subject to change and are not guaranteed until full land and air deposit are received.

APPLICABLE AIRFARE TAXES & FEESAir-inclusive prices from the Globus family of brands include all applicable government-imposed taxes and fees; these charges may constitute a significant portion of the total price as they include a September 11th Security Fee of up to $10, passenger facility charges of up to $18, Federal domestic flight segment fees of up to $3.70 per segment, and U.S. and International arrival and departure and other government imposed fees of up to $150, depending on your itinerary. At the time you purchase your tour, prices may be higher. For current prices, please see our website. Your final air-inclusive vacation price is not guaranteed until your air schedule has been confirmed and your full air and land deposit have been received by Globus family of brands.

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINSTRATION (T.S.A.)Due to the Secure Flight ruling, all passengers are required to provide their name as it appears on their government-issued ID, as well as their date of birth. We require that this information is provided within 10 days of booking air with us.

In many instances, airline revision or change fees can be up to $250 but in some instances may be up to 100% of the ticket price. Cancellation penalties will be quoted at time of cancellation.

Globus reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any vacation departure for any reason, including insufficient demand. If a vacation is canceled prior to departure, Globus’ only responsibility will be to refund the amount received for the reservation. Globus will try to rebook the same vacation with a different departure date, or a similar vacation. For air-inclusive vacations, Globus will try to confirm air schedules for the selected new dates, subject to availability. Globus cannot assume responsibility for any additional costs or any fees relating to the issuance and/or cancellation of air tickets or other travel arrangements not made through Globus.

REVISION FEES: A fee of $30 per transaction will be charged for any alteration or revision made to a reservation. Any revision to a booking may result in the loss of confirmed airline reservations or increased airfare which will be payable by you. Additional airline and hotel penalties may also apply and may be up to 100% of the full price. A change of traveler name, vacation date, or itinerary within final payment will be treated as a full cancellation and new reservation; vacation cancellation fees (as above) apply.

AIR ARRANGEMENTS: Globus is not responsible if an airline cancels, reschedules, or delays a flight for any reason. If you purchased air through Globus, we will try and assist in making new arrangements providing you have not already checked in with your airline for your first flight segment. After check-in, you must work with the airline directly to reach your destination or to make any alternate arrangements including amendments to return services. 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 to the airline directly at time of request. If you miss your departure flight or connection, it is your responsibility to work with the airline on which you are ticketed to reach your destination. No refunds will be provided by Globus for portions of trips missed due to canceled, rescheduled or delayed flights after airport check-in, nor is Globus responsible for any additional expenses you may incur prior to joining your trip if you miss your departure flight or flight connection.

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 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 new Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect information from you for the purposes of watch list matching. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice. At time of booking a vacation with air reservations, Globus will collect the required information and add to your air booking to pass to the airline(s) for the Secure Flight Program. The information includes full name, date of birth, gender and redress number (if available). Failure to provide the required TSA information at time of booking will result in the loss of confirmed flights and airfare price as information is required for ticketing. Rebooking lost airfare is subject to schedule availability at time of rebooking and may result in alternate flight schedules and/or increases in airfare price. Any increase in airfare price is payable by you.

PARTICIPATION: For the benefit of everyone on your vacation, Globus reserves the right to accept or reject any vacation participant and to remove any participant whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interests of the other participants. Globus will not refund or cover any cost or expenses incurred for termination of vacation arrangements due to unacceptable behavior.

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

Not all sightseeing stops/sites accommodate wheelchairs and some locations and sightseeing activities require extensive standing, sitting or walking. 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 the touring motorcoaches and cruise ships, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. With prior permission and waivers, we will attempt to accommodate motorized scooters on domestic vacations, depending on the suitability of the itinerary.

YOUNG TRAVELERS: Travelers who are under 18 years old on the departure date must be accompanied by an adult throughout the vacation and must share an adult’s accommodation. Children under 8 years of age are not allowed on Globus escorted vacations. On Globus Family Tours, children age 5 and older are welcome. At least one member of the traveling party on Globus Family Tours must be under the age of 21 in order to participate in these vacations.

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.

PRICE POLICY:All vacation prices are based on rates (reflecting foreign exchange rates) known at the time of publication and expected to be in effect at the time of departure, and do not include airfare except where noted. Vacation prices are per person, based on double occupancy. Single room supplements and triple and quad reductions or pricing are listed where applicable.

Air-inclusive vacations, and/or land-only vacations that include air between cities (internal air) are guaranteed when Globus has received your full land and air deposits. Globus reserves the right to ticket bookings upon receipt of full land and air deposits thus any subsequent changes made at your request are subject to airline-imposed change fees and/or changes in airfare price, which are your responsibility to pay. Air is only available to passengers traveling from the United States and only available when booked in conjunction with a land vacation.

Globus is not responsible for providing you with specific visa and passport information or documentation, and Globus cannot accept liability for any passenger refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure of the passenger to carry correct documentation. All passengers traveling internationally are required to have a passport. Most countries require that the passport be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the conclusion of your trip. It is recommended you have a minimum of three blank pages in your passport when traveling, as many countries require blank pages. Multiple-entry visas are required for some vacations. It is your responsibility to verify all visa and passport requirements. The process of obtaining a visa and/or passport can take up to three months or more.

HOTELS & ACCOMMODATIONS: The hotels listed in this brochure are intended to be used on all departures; however, 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 equivalent or higher to those shown. No refunds are provided for hotel changes; full cancellation penalties as noted above apply.

Air carrier restrictions may vary from the limitations listed above.

Most airlines charge fees for checked baggage and these fees are not included in the airfare or the vacation package price. Please check with your airline(s) directly for baggage information, regulations and fees. Globus is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers for baggage. Regulations within most airports require that travelers handle their own luggage through customs.

See the Globus Web site for an all-inclusive Travel Protection Plan.

Any complaint or claim involving the vacation services offered in this brochure must be notified to Globus within 30 days of the vacation completion, except where such time limitations are prohibited by law.

Globus will not have liability regarding provision of medical care or the adequacy of any care that may be rendered.

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 according to itinerary. Maps shown on the vacation pages are current at the time of printing and may not reflect the actual routing should the itinerary change.

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS & ACTIVITIES: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 & 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.

Any advice or assistance on or with any Service provided by any local representative does not mean or imply that the Service is sold, supervised, or controlled by Globus or that any such advice or assistance is given on behalf of Globus. Vacation participants are asked to check with the operator of any optional activity or excursion and the applicable Terms & Conditions before booking.

RESPONSIBILITY:Group Voyagers, Inc., located at 5301 South Federal Circle, Littleton, Colorado 80123, is an independent company (“the Company”) licensed to market and distribute travel products under the Globus brand name, and arrange for the vacation services offered in this brochure, 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, employees, servants, or joint venturers of the Company or its affiliates. All certificates and other travel documents for services issued by the Company are subject to the Terms & Conditions specified by the supplier, which are available upon request, and to the laws of the countries in which the services are supplied.

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., the Warsaw Convention, the Montréal Convention for international travel by air, the EU Regulation on Air Carrier Liability for air carriers with an operating license granted by an EU country, the Athens Convention for international travel by sea) in that situation.

After departure, if the services included in the vacation cannot be supplied or there are changes in an itinerary for reasons beyond the control of the Company, the Company will 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; 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 Travel Protection Plan, or any other person.

Any dispute between the vacation participant and the Company directly or indirectly relating to the Terms & Conditions shall be first submitted to mediation at Denver, Colorado, before a mediator mutually agreed to by the parties. If mediation is not successful, the dispute must be resolved by binding arbitration under Colorado law before the Judicial Arbiter Group or its successor located at 1601 Blake Street, Denver, Colorado 80202. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any action to enforce the arbitrator’s decision shall be brought in the state or federal courts in the State of Colorado.

Arbitration against the Company must be commenced within one year following the date of vacation completion. Neither the Company nor any affiliate shall in any case be liable for other than compensatory damages, and you hereby waive any right to punitive damages.

No person, other than an authorized representative of the Company by a document in writing, is authorized to vary, add, or waive any term or condition on its Web site, including any term or condition set forth in the preceding provisions.

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. We regret that we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits. Baggage fees imposed by air carriers are not included in the vacation or airfare price and are your responsibility to pay. Please check with your airlines on baggage restrictions and fees.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TWIN-BEDDED ROOM AND 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-bedded 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.

HOW IS SEATING DETERMINED ON THE MOTORCOACH? We offer daily rotation of seating, which gives everyone a variety of views.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS?Travel documents, e-ticket itineraries, and other information are sent approximately two to three weeks prior to departure, provided full payment has been received.

WHAT IS THE TRAVEL PROTECTION PLUS PLAN? The Travel Protection Plus plan offers additional coverage at a cost of only $30 per person in combination with the basic Travel Protection plan and allows for cancellations up to 24 hours of departure (or prior business day, whichever is farther out) for any reason. In the event the reason for the cancellation is not covered under the basic Travel Protection plan, the cancellation penalty as retained by Globus will be reimbursed in the form of Travel Certificates valid for travel within 2 years from the original cancelled vacation start date. This additional coverage must be elected and purchased with the initital payment on your trip.

WHEN CAN I PURCHASE OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS?You can learn about the Activities & Excursions available on your Globus vacation by visiting www.globusjourneys.com/MyGlobus. A complete listing will also be available in your travel documents. You may choose to purchase these Activities & Excursions in advance; some may be available to purchase from your Tour Director while on vacation.

NOTE Activities & Excursions are subject to change and may not be available as described; please visit our Web site for up-to-date information including Terms & Conditions and details regarding payment.

WHY AM I ASKED TO GIVE MY PASSPORT NAME, GENDER & DATE OF BIRTH WHEN BOOKING AIR?Due to increased travel security around the world, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect this information in accordance with the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. If the name on the airline reservation does not exactly match the first and last name on the passport, you may not be allowed to board the plane. It is also important that this information be provided correctly at the time of booking, as any changes to your air booking, which includes spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, higher fares, new schedule, and/or cancellation.

DO I NEED A PASSPORT AND/OR A VISA?When traveling outside your home country, a passport is required. Some countries require a visa. All travelers should consult with appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE GLOBUS?Globus vacations are designed to offer you flexibility, choice, and a pace that best fits the way you want to travel. Globus offers MORE included features, MORE quality hotels, and MORE experience, with more than 80 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.
