More Value for "Value Season" Vacations

Traveling internationally doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. To prove it, this week, the Globus family of brands has expertly designed and unveiled nearly 30 "Value Season" vacations, offering Americans a plethora of opportunities to travel abroad at unbeatable prices. Among its offerings, Globus provides travelers the chance to enjoy Christmas in Paris, celebrate New Year's Eve in Venice or sail through the Christmastime markets via Avalon's new (and virtually sold-out) "Suite Ship," the Avalon Panorama.

"Traveling from November to March is a great time for Americans to make Europe travel dreams come true," said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. "They can take a vacation at a reduced price, while avoiding the crowds that converge during the summer travel months."

From holiday cruises on the Main and Danube rivers to tours across Europe ranging from seven to 29 days as well as six independent, all-in-one vacation packages, the Globus family of brands' Value Season vacations offer unparalleled savings to fit any travel style.

In addition to the already reduced prices "Value Season" vacations afford travelers, the Globus family of brands is offering even more incentive to get out and get away:

Save $200 per person on air-inclusive 2011/2012 Value Season Europe vacations (when booked before July 26, 2011)*

Save $250 per person on air-inclusive Value Season Europe vacations on British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia Airlines (when booked before July 26, 2011)**
