March 4, 2021 ctn_admin
There’s so much to see, this side of the sea.
From the sweeping views of the Gaspé Peninsula to the sparkling lakes of the Rockies; from the floating icebergs of Newfoundland to famous fromageries of Charlevoix, and from the cobblestone avenues of Québec City to sensational scenery of British Columbia, Canada offers a world of wonder between our borders. And now, Globus and Cosmos are spotlighting opportunities for Canadians to discover far from ordinary experiences, close to home.
“This summer, Canadians interested in a ‘staycation,’ can dive into European culture, close to home,” said Stéphanie Bishop, managing director for the Globus family of brands. “Globus and Cosmos are inviting travellers to globetrot their way through Canada with a set of extraordinary vacations for Canadians.”
The Globus family of brands is featuring six unique Canadian itineraries that offer international flair with departures set-aside exclusively for Canadians. They are:
1. Globus Spirit of the Canadian Rockies (12 days)

3. Globus Newfoundland & Labrador (12 days)

Canadian-only departures: July 6 & August 29
6. Cosmos Ontario & French Canada (8 days)
France or French Canada? Choose the latter this summer! No place does Europe (other than Europe) better than Québec City and Montréal.

Canadian-only departures: June 24 & August 7
“In addition to inviting Canadian travellers to write home about home this summer, soon, we will be unveiling more regional off-season Escapes, departing in October and November, giving them the opportunity to enjoy more about our own backyard, for less,” said Bishop.
