you enjoy unmatched value when it comes to your hotels, transfers, inside visits of must-see attractions, and flight prices. You even have the
chance to personalise your trip with extra days and additional optional excursions.
THE PERFECT HOTELS
Great trips deserve great accommodations
in great locations, so that’s what we deliver
…every time. And at the end of each busy
day of sightseeing, all you have to do is step

No wrestling with suitcases or standing in line. Your Tour Director

right to your guestroom. We even take care of porterage gratuities
for you. And with your hotels often within mere steps of North and
South America’s greatest attractions, you’ll never waste precious
holiday time getting to the sights you want to see most. For example,
we put you right on the Las Vegas “Strip” so you’re in the middle of
everything this spectacular destination offers after dark!

to the fun, so we employ a wide range of
transportation. From high-speed trains to
ferries and boats, your magical journey will
enhance your overall experience.

OUR STORY BEGAN NEARLY
NINE DECADES AGO
When you select a Globus holiday, you’re choosing a company
that has defined the way today’s travellers 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.
COMMITTED TO OUR PLANET
We’re committed to protecting the places we visit. By employing
environmentally friendly motorcoaches and partnering with
preservation and sustainability initiatives, we’re working to ensure the
world’s icons will be here to thrill travellers for generations to come.
HERE’S WHAT SOME OF OUR SATISFIED PASSENGERS
ARE SAYING:
■ “What an experience! If you want to get up close and personal
to the sights of the U.S. and Canada, I can highly recommend
Globus.”—K. Stace, ACT, Australia
■ “Great accommodation, delicious meals, spectacular scenery;
informative, fun loving, and very helpful Tour Director and coach
driver made this a wonderful way to see Alaska. Wonderful,
wonderful memories!”—D. Hammond, QLD, Australia
TourismCares.org
For 2017, Globus has targeted several iconic
destinations for preservation/restoration funding,
including Kenai Fjords National Park, Redwood

join your Local Guide and travelling
companions and get your first glimpse of one of nature’s most magnificent
shows—the colourful celestial arcs and waves of the aurora borealis
(Northern Lights). When conditions are right, the aurora dances across

ol’ “Sourdoughs” (old timers).
NOTE: Please schedule flights to arrive by 3 pm to be prepared for this evening’s late-
night aurora borealis viewing opportunity.

DAYS 5 TO 11
Like Days 2 to 8 of Tour AI.
NOTE: The aurora is most active late at night or early in the morning when the sky is clear
and the air chilly. Viewings are scheduled from 10 pm–2 am. While the aurora is frequently
seen in February and March, it is up to Mother Nature to create the special conditions in
order to witness this phenomenon. Purchasing a pre-night in Fairbanks is recommended
due to the late-night/early morning viewing hours required to see the aurora borealis.

congregate here each winter, the largest concentration of wintering elk
in the world. Your sleigh will travel among these magnificent creatures
for a truly up-close experience. Be sure to keep your camera ready
as we watch for other wildlife that’s in residence this time of year,

feature. (B,L)

GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK (SCENIC CRUISING)
This Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site protects a
unique ecosystem in an ever-changing glacial landscape. Witness the
spectacle of thunder and flying spray as huge slabs of ice break off and
“calve” into the sea—making for lasting memories. National Park rangers
accompany the ship, adding expert commentary to the day’s events.
HAINES
Nestled on the shores of America’s longest fjord, Haines enjoys a
spectacular setting. You may choose to take a float trip through Chilkat
Bald Eagle Preserve, home to the largest annual gathering of bald eagles,
or maybe visit the Sheldon Museum, art galleries, or 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.
JUNEAU
Visit one of the most 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. Shop for
gold nuggets, visit the stately Governor’s Mansion, saunter through the
swinging doors of the historic Red Dog Saloon, or visit mighty Mendenhall
Glacier, an impressive river of ice that is 12 miles long and 1.5 miles wide.
KETCHIKAN
Experience 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.
SITKA
Step back in time in the charming port of Sitka, which reigned as the
capital of Russian America for 100 years. Experience “life under the czars”
with majestic onion-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral, the Sheldon Jackson
Museum (housing prized Russian and Indian artifacts), and a lively
performance by the New Archangel Dancers.
SKAGWAY
Once 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 U.S. National Historic Park.
TRACY ARM (SCENIC CRUISING)
This 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-
coloured inland sea. Kittiwakes, mountain goats, and seals are a common
sight. Whales and bears may even make an appearance in this magical
place.
VICTORIA
Experience a bit of Britain in this Canadian city with its unique blend of Old
World charm and New World experiences. Boasting the mildest climate
in Canada, the city is green and beautiful year round. You’ll find history,
architecture, colourful gardens, and traditions like Afternoon Tea mixed
with an abundance of outdoor adventure, world-class culinary experiences,
and a vibrant art and culture scene. Visit world-famous Butchart Gardens,
stroll along the Inner Harbour, or maybe sample some of Canada’s finest
brews.
