we are today is a life-changing experience that always leaves you feeling a part of something bigger than yourself.
Faith-based travel is the perfect way to build fellowship by intimately exploring the roots and stories of your faith with fellow believers. The power
of walking in the very footsteps of our treasured religious history, or standing in the very places where the stories of Scripture unfolded, is a
moving experience that is magnified when you share it with others.
Travel is the one thing you can buy that leaves you richer. Rich with memories of a time cherished, rich with the knowledge that you can make a
difference in another person’s life, rich with the belief that as humans, we can do so much to share the beauty of God’s love.

MONUMENT OF MARTIN LUTHER IN WITTENBERG POPE FRANCIS
2016—ROME JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
Travel to Rome has an even deeper religious significance in 2016! Pope Francis has declared it a Jubilee Year of Mercy—a
great historic event in the Catholic Church linked to universal pardons and reconciliation. The Jubilee begins on the Feast of
the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2015, with the rare opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica. Throughout this
Holy Year, the Holy Doors at St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul Outside the Walls will also be opened, giving pilgrims
the opportunity to pass through the doors and receive the sacrament of forgiveness. Various events and celebrations will occur
throughout the Jubilee, with the conclusion on November 20, 2016, the Feast of Christ the King. This momentous occasion,
the thirtieth Jubilee in the history of the Catholic Church, will be celebrated around the world, but especially in Rome. For more
information on the 2016 Jubilee and our tours featuring Rome, visit Globus.com.au.

2017—500 YEARS OF REFORMATION
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, setting off the Protestant
Reformation. Today, Protestants from around the globe visit Germany to celebrate Reformation Day on October 31st by participating

in Berlin and ends in Munich, you’ll visit key Luther sites in Wittenberg, Leipzig, Eisleben, Erfurt, Eisenach, and many more. This

decade. Keeping a pledge made nearly 400 years ago, this reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ preserves the health and well-being of
Oberammergau residents to this day.
Located about 60 miles southwest of Munich, Oberammergau is a peaceful village surrounded by majestic mountains and picturesque
meadows. It is well known not only for its Passion Play, but also for the warm hospitality extended to visitors from around the world.
In 2020, Globus will once again lead the way in bringing the legendary Passion Play experience to travelers. For more information,

WE’VE SPENT THE LAST 88 YEARS
PLANNING YOUR VACATION

OUR STORY BEGAN MORE THAN
EIGHT DECADES AGO
When you select a Globus vacation, you’re choosing a company that’s
not new to religious travel. With 88 years of experience, we’ve 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.
AND THERE’S MORE
It’s a great big, wonderfully diverse world out there, so why limit yourself
to just one way of seeing it? With the Globus family of brands, our vast
collection of vacations is designed to offer you the flexibility, choice, and
pace that best fit the way you want to travel. From premium escorted
and independent packages to river cruises and escorted vacations at a
great value, we offer over 400 vacations on six continents to more than 70
countries. And with flexible departure dates, you get to choose where you
want to travel, how, and when!
Providing the best river cruise experience along the rivers of Europe,
Avalon Waterways includes the youngest fleet, the most modern
amenities, and shore excursions. Monograms offers independent travel
without the hassles because we handle all the details, leaving you to
have fun and get the most from your getaway. Student Discoveries are
an exciting alternative to traditional educational travel, 100% influenced
by educators and infused with features tailored to classroom curriculum.
Whether it’s a family reunion or group focusing on food, wine, music, or
some other special interest, Group Vacations offer an ideal solution for
groups as small as eight people! And when standard itineraries don’t quite
meet the needs of your group, we’ll create the perfect Custom Groups
package for 20 or more passengers focused on your specific interests.

religious interest and panoramic drives through areas of natural beauty.
Your knowledgeable Local Guides will introduce you to unique locations
throughout your journey. Visit Assisi, home of St. Francis; spend time in
Lourdes; walk in Jesus' footsteps in the Holy Land; and so much more.

We build free time into every Cosmos vacation, so you can relax, pause
to reflect, or explore the way you want. Your Tour Director and Local
Guides can also offer suggestions for things to see and do.
