Globus family of brands has expanded its Escapes by Globus portfolio for 2026/27 with seven new tours, encouraging travellers to explore Europe in the off-season and nab the best deals.
Departing from Q4 2026 onwards, these seven new tours cover the iconic sights and the up-and-coming, lesser-known destinations in the cooler months.
Taking place between November and March each season, Escapes by Globus offers the same great service that Globus is known for, including signature excursions, recommendations from local guides and expert Tour Directors, with fewer crowds and priced from just $209 per day.
“Every year we see an increased demand for our Escapes by Globus itineraries, so we wanted to expand the portfolio and give our guests even more opportunities to explore Europe, without the crowds,” Globus family of brands managing director Asia Pacific Chris Hall said. “We’re offering bucket-list itineraries, with the lower price tag that comes with off-season travel.
“We know guests love our festive products, so we’re excited to be able to offer a new experience in the Baltics, where the destination is experiencing an uptick in interest and a new, off-season train journey in Switzerland, which continues to be a popular destination year-round.”
To celebrate the expansion, Globus is also waiving the single supplement fee on a select number of new Escapes for 2026 and 2027, allowing the first five travellers booked on these select tours to travel solo without the additional charge.
“By waiving the single supplement, we’re also encouraging solo travel and meeting new people,” Hall added. “So many guests report that they make life-long friends on Globus tours, so we’ve made it easier than ever to travel solo, whilst still having the support of specialist Tour Directors and Local Experts.”
Four tours waiving the single supplement include:
