Globus Family of Brands

In 1928, Antonio Mantegazza started with a simple rowboat on Lake Lugano in Switzerland, ferrying travelers across the water. This humble beginning transformed when he traded his rowboat for a fleet of motorcoaches, expanding into land-based tours that would eventually span the globe. What began as a small family company with one man and a vision grew into the Globus family of brands we know today - still family-owned after nearly a century of sharing the world with travelers. For almost a century, the Globus family of brands has been crafting award-winning tours and river cruises, establishing itself as a leader in international travel. The company now offers unparalleled, perfectly planned tours; inventive, inspiring cruises; and modern, independent vacation packages to millions of travelers in more than 80 countries across six continents. Their portfolio includes Globus, Cosmos, Monograms, and Avalon Waterways - each brand catering to different travel preferences, from luxury guided tours to affordable adventures and scenic river cruises. The company conducts business in the United States through Group Voyagers, Inc., while maintaining its Swiss heritage and global operations.
