A World of Good Travel, Then & Now.
Since 1928, when our story began with a single rowboat across Lake Lugano, the Globus family of brands has been dedicated to unveiling the wonders of the world while protecting them for generations to come. As a Swiss family-owned company, we’ve built a legacy of connection, care and curiosity – values that continue to guide our purpose and progress.
Though we make travel worry-free for our guests, our concerns are many: From our global footprint to the respectful exploration of diverse cultures and communities.
As we approach our 100th year, we invite travellers to go deeper with us – to honour our past, support progress and create more meaningful connections around the globe.
Looking Back. A Century of Dedication & Discovery.
What started as local excursions in Switzerland has grown into global journey across six continents. The Globus family of brands – Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways – now offers more than 500 vacations in 80+ countries.
Our roots remain personal and strong, anchored by a heritage of trust, tradition and a passion for travel passed down through generations. We’ve spent nearly a century helping guests connect with cultures, explore responsibly and appreciate the stories that unite us.
Looking Ahead. Lighting a Path for a Better Tomorrow.
Our Lighthouse Project represents our commitment to reducing our footprint and giving back – supporting local organizations that protect wildlife, empower women and preserve the world’s most treasured places.
With every innovation, we’re designing a better way to see – and care for – the world.
We make every effort to conserve and preserve in each destination we visit by helping to protect waterways, wild places and wildlife by supporting and shining a light on organizations that do the same.
