We offer many modes of transportation, from trains and motorcoaches to cruise ships and ferries. Each is selected and designed with comfort in mind.
Coaches
Ride in comfort
Each Globus motorcoach has upholstered, reclining seats with headrests and individual air-conditioning vents. A high-fidelity sound system broadcasts professional Tour Director's commentary to every seat. Our custom of daily seat rotation gives everyone a variety of vantage points to see the passing countryside and city scenes.
Europe Vacations - limited group size for extra comfort
The length and width of modern motorcoaches is standard, prescribed by law. The difference among tour operators is in the number of seats installed and actually sold. While it is customary to install and sell 53 seats, Globus installs fewer seats for extra leg room, and limits group size to a maximum of 44 tour members. The extra space contributes enormously to your comfort. For airport and port transfers in Britain we generally use motorcoaches with 53 seats.
Smoke-free coaches
For non-smokers and moderate smokers an otherwise perfect vacation can be spoiled if they are forced to inhale other people's smoke on a motorcoach. We therefore do not allow smoking on the coach. There are plenty of opportunities to smoke during the frequent stops.
Globus drivers are experienced professionals
Globus 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!
Air-conditioned motorcoaches
All Globus touring motorcoaches are fully air-conditioned.
Emergency washrooms while touring
Motorcoaches in Europe are equipped with an emergency washroom (see itinerary pages for exceptions). For transfers and sightseeing in London this amenity is not available. We deliberately use the term “emergency washroom,” because this facility is not meant to be used regularly in lieu of the restrooms at our frequent comfort stops.
Trains
Experience the ultra-modern Eurostar train from Rome to Florence and the exciting high-speed AVE train from Madrid to Seville. In the Canadian Rockies, you might take one of the sleek, ultra-modern BC Ferries or, if traveling by railcar in Canada or Alaska, enjoy travel operated by VIA Rail ®.
