Since 1928, when we first began enlightening curious travelers from a rowboat across Lake Lugano, we’ve been committed to unveiling the world to those seeking greater meaning and memories – all while protecting its people, places, and traditions for generations to come. As a Swiss family-owned company, our legacy is rooted in connection, care, and curiosity – values that have guided us for nearly a century.

Although we ensure our guests travel without worries, our concerns are many – including our own footprint on the globe and respecting the paths of other people and cultures that make this world such a fascinating place. As the Globus family of brands approaches its centennial birthday, we invite you to join us in our celebration of heritage, history, culture, customs, and respect for others and our planet.
