WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC
TO DIVE INTO EUROPEAN CULTURE?
C obblestone avenues, centuries-old architecture, and hidden coastal villages are much
closer than you think. Follow your nose to the café-lined promenades of Québec City, your
ears to the music-filled streets of Montréal, and your eyes to the sweeping views of the Gaspé
Peninsula on this eleven-day tour of French Canada. Along the way, you’ll say bonjour to tiny
fishing villages, singing beluga whales, and the grandest of views as you discover this cherished
nautical nook of the world.
Unique to Globus, this Undiscovered tour puts you riverside, countryside, cliffside, and
seaside as you follow the historic Navigator’s Route along the Saint Lawrence River, travel
through forested, bucolic wilderness, and hug the coast of the Gaspé Peninsula to embrace
the breathtaking wonders of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Past the illuminated promenades of
Montréal and Québec City, picturesque lighthouses point the way to the hidden treasures and
iconic gems of the region, including the imposing Percé Rock, famous for its giant “pierced”
hole, and the less explored Saguenay Fjord where as many as ten different types
of whales can be spotted on a scenic whale watching cruise.
Big sights are complemented by bold flavours throughout this Old World maritime journey.
With your French-speaking guide leading every step of the way, you’ll traipse through the
strawberry fields of Carleton-Sur-Mér, tasting the delicious wines and liqueurs they produce.
At the famous waterfront Reford Gardens, you’ll stroll through the 3,000 varieties of native
and exotic plants before sitting down to a “Taste the Gardens” lunch. And along the Flavour
Trail of the farm-to-fork Charlevoix region, you’ll savour flavourful cheese at a family-owned
fromagerie. On this tasty vacation to French Canada, you’ll say “cheese” in more ways than one.

F act, fiction, and fantastic scenery abound on this vibrant vacation and historical journey
through New England and the Hudson Valley.
This undiscovered tour appropriately kicks off in Boston and nearby Lexington, the
“Birthplace of American Liberty,” where the opening shots of the Battles of Lexington and
Concord were fired in 1775. Digest the fascinating history of the American Revolution before
a hearty New England lunch at the historic Concord Colonial Inn which was once used as an
arms and provision storehouse for the local Patriots.
Leaving Concord’s Old North Bridge, site of “the shot heard round the world,” you can hear
a pin drop as you visit the storied city of Salem and head toward the peaceful vistas of coastal
Maine, rural New Hampshire, and mountainous Vermont. Charming seaport villages, bucolic
covered bridges, and rolling maple syrup farms sweeten the storylines across America’s historic
East Coast. Swirl and sip at Vermont’s sustainable Shelburne Vineyard, enjoy a lighthouse-
keeper presentation in Portland, Maine, and learn why everyone’s eyes light up upon tasting
Freeport’s famous Whoopie Pie.
The plot thickens as you ferry across Lake Champlain to immerse yourself in the scene
stealers of New York and Massachusetts, including the resort village and Olympic Games site
of Lake Placid, the picturesque Berkshire Mountains, and the orchard- and vineyard dotted
riverbanks of the quaint Hudson Valley. You’ll have time to explore the legendary sights of
timeless Tarrytown, the setting of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and tour
the waterfront U.S. Military Academy at West Point where you’ll want to be sure to stand up
straight. You wouldn’t want to miss the spectacular views.

visits to a centuries-old bourbon distillery, a Lexington thoroughbred horse farm, and Louisville’s
legendary Brown Hotel to taste its famous Hot Brown open-faced sandwich.
The drool-worthy sights continue as you cruise along the South’s most scenic highways
to the majestic peaks and even more imposing mansions the region is known for. In the shadow
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, George Vanderbilt’s grand Biltmore Estate welcomes you for a
guided tour of the 250-room home—the largest privately owned home in the U.S.—and a
farm-to-table lunch in its boutique- and bistro-lined Antler Hill Village. Make sure you save
room for a night on the town in eclectic Asheville, known for its low key vibe and high number
of microbreweries.
There’s plenty to toast in two more of the South’s emerging cities where the music, dining,
and art scenes have the world taking notice. In the charismatic, waterfront city of Chattanooga,
you’ll visit the pop culture-themed Songbird Guitar Museum and taste the city’s famous

J ust as the Klondike stampeders traversed snow-covered mountains, crossed raging
whitewater rapids, and quenched their thirst in rowdy saloons, you can too. The only
difference is you don’t have to rush. On this leisurely vacation through Alaska and the Yukon,
you can take your time relishing each golden moment.
While the gold seekers scaled this rugged terrain on foot, you’ll comfortably watch for
whales and dolphins aboard a glacier cruise through Prince William Sound; see the sights
of Fairbanks and the Chena River from an authentic sternwheeler riverboat; admire North
America’s highest peak aboard the Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park & Preserve; and take
in the panoramic views on a thrilling ride along the Top of the World Highway that connects
Alaska to the Yukon. An optional train ride on the narrow-gauge White Pass & Yukon Railway,
a marvel of engineering, promises wide-open views of peaks, waterfalls, glaciers, and gorges as
you sit back in a vintage passenger car.
In a land of extremes, you’ll also visit Whitehorse, the territorial headquarters of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police, before a trip back in time to the lawless era of 1898 when gold
seekers hit the trails in search of their fortunes. Dip your fingers into Bonanza Creek, site of
Claim #1 in Dawson City, and try your hand at poker at Diamond Tooth Gertie’s Saloon where
you’ll enjoy a traditional miner’s evening of ragtime, rye, and roulette.
Additional nuggets of fun on this tour of Alaska include a tour of a Chena Indian Village,

A bracadabra, Alakazam! All the magicians and illusionists in the world couldn’t put
together a show as unbelievable as the incredible sights on this tour of Western Canada
and the Inside Passage.
Through the picturesque provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, this Western Canada
vacation transports you in every imaginable way to the wonders of the region. A ferry ride from
vibrant Vancouver to floral-filled Victoria presents stunning views of the Gulf Islands. An ocean
cruise sails you through the towering mountains, roaring waterfalls, and virgin rainforests of the
Inside Passage and Haida Gwaii Islands. An all-daylight train ride carries you along the mighty
Skeena River to the lively, waterfront city of Prince George. A massive Ice Explorer glides you
over the Columbia Icefield so you can see, touch, and even walk on the impressive Athabasca
Glacier. And should you choose, board a helicopter for thrilling views of the soaring Rockies.
At two of Western Canada’s most breathtaking national parks, it appears as if someone
waved a wand over the glacial lake waters to turn them electrifying blue. Witness the tantalizing
turquoise for yourself at Banff National Park’s mesmerizing Lake Louise or on an optional cruise
on Jasper National Park’s magnificent Maligne Lake.
From coast to crest, get ready to see more than a rabbit appear on this wild tour of Western
Canada. Seals and sea lions, moose and mountain goats, bears and bald eagles, and wolves and
whales are just a few of the locals eager to say hello. While you can expect many entrancing

A lthough America’s Pacific Northwest might be known for its light rain showers, the locals
know that it’s the freshly brewed coffee, perfectly crafted beer, and robust local wines that
really pour. Clear your schedule and your palate for this tasty undiscovered tour through the
natural wonders, lush wilderness, and picturesque wineries of scenic Washington and Oregon.
Drink in the alpine architecture and German beer in the Bavarian village of Leavenworth in the
Cascade Mountains; wake up in the coastal city of Astoria to its charming, Victorian-era hillside
homes; savour the malt and hops at any number of Bend’s two dozen breweries; and take a
break in the dairy den of Tillamook for a taste of its world famous cheese and ice cream.
Along the breathtaking Three Capes Scenic Loop, you also won’t want to miss the inactive
but charming Cape Meares Lighthouse, Oregon’s shortest lighthouse standing only 38 feet tall.
While the coast’s other fabled lighthouses cast their beams to reveal the wonders of the Pacific
Northwest, your native Tour Director will shed light on what makes this corner of the country
so uniquely spectacular—from the robust Cabernets of the Yakima Valley to the meaty shellfish
fresh from the waters of Newport, the “Dungeness Crab Capital of the World.”
If the Seattle coffee scene doesn’t wake you up—or the fragrant aroma of 10,000 rose bushes
at Portland’s International Rose Test Garden at Washington Park—a dune buggy ride along the
Oregon coast, Mt. Hood’s 611-foot-tall Multnomah Falls, and the sheer magnitude of Crater Lake

ON THIS UNDISCOVERED SOUTHERN U.S. TOUR,
YOU’LL TRAIPSE DOWN THE COUNTRY ROADS AND
HISTORIC TRAILS OF SEVEN SCENIC STATES
A ll together now—Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Given that you’ve been tapping your toes and belting out the wistful words of this regional
anthem for decades, don’t you think it’s time to see the legendary lanes and landscapes that
inspired it? Journey through the Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, and
Pennsylvania—with time to explore the treasures of America’s capital.
Prepare to embrace the blues as you crest the Blue Ridge Mountains into Shenandoah
National Park, drink in the equestrian beauty (and bourbon!) of the Bluegrass State, ascend into
the blue haze of the Great Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg, and journey along a portion of
the scenery-rich Blue Ridge Parkway, a 470-mile route from the Great Smokies to Shenandoah
without a single traffic light.
As you make your way through colourful mountain regions, historically significant towns,
and Civil War battlefields, you’ll follow in the footsteps of colonists, presidents, soldiers, and
some of America’s greatest industrialists and entrepreneurs. See Colonial Williamsburg, the
hallowed Gettysburg Battlefield, Asheville’s grand Biltmore Estate, and the sprawling Virginia
plantations Presidents Washington and Jefferson called home.
Yet some of the bigger experiences on this tour come in small packages, like a visit to
Lincoln’s birthplace, Colonel Sanders’ original fried chicken restaurant, the “Smokeless Coal
Capital” of Beckley, and Andy Griffith’s hometown of Mount Airy, the inspiration for the
make-believe town of Mayberry on his popular television show. Get ready to whistle your way
through the wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as the small towns and significant
cities of the historic South, on this harmonious journey through the U.S. South.
