Do I need a passport and a visa?
When traveling outside the United States, a passport is required for U.S. citizens.
Some countries also require a visa. If you are a U.S. citizen, detailed visa information
will be provided to you after you book your vacation. Non-U.S. citizens should consult
with appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed. Globus’ preferred
supplier of visa services is Zierer Visa Service (ZVS). For additional information
or to obtain a visa for your vacation, please visit www.zvs.com/globusfamily. Return to Top
What size can my suitcase be?
Due to limited coach capacity, your bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30"x21"x11"
(62" linear dimensions) or weight exceeding 50 lbs. Carry-on bags should not exceed
the dimensions of 12"x11"x6". Please note that air carriers, cruise lines and other
forms of transportation may have other restrictions and requirements including weight,
and we recommend that you contact the suppliers directly for additional information.
We regret we are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these
limits.
Some airlines are also charging fees for checked baggage, and these fees are not
included in the vacation or airfare package price. Please check with your airline
directly for baggage information and regulations. Globus is not responsible for
any additional fees imposed by air carriers regarding baggage.

How many bags am I allowed to bring?
Porterage for one suitcase is included in the vacation price. Airport/train station
porterage is not included unless otherwise specified in your travel documents. Due
to limited motorcoach capacity, your single bag should have dimensions not exceeding
30"x21"x11" and weight not exceeding 50lbs (22kg). We regret that we are unable
to accept a second suitcase or any luggage exceeding these limits on any vacation
listed in this brochure. Some vacations have more restrictive regulations than these
listed above. Please refer to your Travel Documents for more information.
Your air carrier may have stricter weight/dimension limitations than those listed
above. Size and weight limitations for carry-on and checked baggage vary from airline
to airline and even according to destination, and are becoming more restrictive.
Some airlines are also charging fees for additional checked baggage in excess of
one per passenger and these fees are not included in the vacation package. Please
check with your airline(s) directly for baggage information and regulations. Globus
is not responsible for additional fees imposed by air carriers regarding baggage.
Regulations within most airports require that travelers handle their own luggage
through customs. No responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage
or any of the traveler’s belongings throughout the duration of the vacation. Baggage
insurance is recommended. See our Web site for an all-inclusive Travel Protection
Plan.
Carry-on bags should not exceed the dimensions of 12"x11"x6". For safety reasons,
wheeled carry-on bags are not suitable as hand luggage on motorcoaches and mini-buses.
Carry-on bags must be small enough to store in overhead bins or under the seat in
front of you on motorcoaches and other transportation. Return to Top
What is the difference between a twin bedded room and a double
room?
A double room is a room designed to accommodate two people, though not necessarily
with two separate beds. A twin bedded room has two separate beds of any size; this
is what we usually reserve for our travelers. Return to Top
What size is a triple room?
A triple room is the same size as a twin bedded room. It will have beds to accommodate
three people; however, we cannot guarantee that there will be three separate beds.
If there are only two beds, a rollaway may be requested but also cannot be guaranteed.
