Globus Says 'Thank You!'

It was a day that would have made Noah nostalgic for his famous cruise aboard the s.s. Ark. As the skies emptied and the streets and garbage laden sidewalks of Toronto sloshed with rain, we were tucked inside the intimate Il Mulino Restaurant, drying off and hearing about the charms of cruising of another sort:  Avalon River Cruises with Globus.

And, of course Globus’ escorted coach tours, their Cosmos ‘value brand’ and Monograms for solo clients.

The occasion was an informal get-together of some of Globus’ management team in Canada along with key retailers, tourist boards and suppliers.

“This has been a fantastic journey,” said Managing Director Stéphanie Bishop of her first year at the helm. And the folks at the Lugano, Switzerland head office must be pleased too:  Avalon is showing double-digit increases from Canada.

“We have big plans for 2010,” she went on.  “We’ll increase our fleet of river cruise ships to 10, and we also have big plans for Monograms – stay tuned!”

She also reminded the group that Globus remains completely trade focused. “We call our selves the Globus family of brands.  And we want to help travel agents become part of our family with our programs.”
