For the first time in a long time, travelers are invited back to their favorite European destination without quarantine! It’s time to explore Italy’s ancient cities, discover seaside villages and breath-in beauty in rolling vineyards – to taste la dolce vita once more (or for the first time). And, as Italy prepares to welcome U.S. travelers back to the lemon-scented streets of Sorrento, the olive oil-rich region of Apulia, the sparkling seas of Sicily and flowing wines of Tuscany this week, the Globus family of brands is ready to help fully vaccinated globetrotters plan their comeback with NEW Choice Touring vacations, unique “Undiscovered” tours and NEW Small-Group Discoveries for 2021.
NEW Choice Touring Itineraries: With the introduction of Choice Touring by Globus, travelers are invited to experience a whole new way to cure their curiosities in Italy in 2021 and beyond. On each Choice Touring vacation, they can choose from a menu of memories while still enjoying everything they love about a perfectly planned tour. With a complimentary selection of YourChoice Excursions, Globus’ NEW 8-day Veni, Vidi, Vici: Umbrian & Tuscany By Design itinerary, for instance, invites travelers to hunt for truffles or catch culture … to soak-in the beauty of waterfalls or stir watercolors … to spend their days, their way through Italy’s spectacular cities and stunning scenery.
Undiscovered Vacations: Italy is full of treasures from heel to toe, including countless, off-the-beaten-path discoveries. Globus and Cosmos offer wayfarers and wanderers perfect comeback vacations to and through Italy with its unique “Undiscovered” series of vacations, such as Hidden Treasures of Southern Italy, The Sicilian and Northern Italy’s Highlights & Cinque Terre from Globus or Apulia: The Heel of Italy and The Magic of the Italian Lakes from Cosmos.
Small-Group Discoveries: When travelers choose Globus or Cosmos, they’re choosing to explore the world in a small group of like-minded travelers: People who stick together from start-to-finish. This year, they can also choose Small-Group Discovery departures in Italy like, Italian Vista, Italian Tapestry and Italian Treasures.
And, for those who want to leave the group behind, Monograms offers travelers the opportunity to get behind-the-scenes insight in Rome, Venice and/or Florence with city getaway vacation packages, featuring the on-site services of a Local Host, freedom to explore and unparalleled storytelling from local guides.
“It’s finally time to make plans to stand in the shadow of history; cruise through ancient architecture and discover tucked-away cafes – and some of Italy’s most mouth-watering cuisine – along the way,” said Steve Born, chief marketing officer for the Globus family of brands. “Italy is waiting to reunite with travelers. Now, we don’t have to wait to make plans to rekindle our love for travel – and for Italy.”
