Cosmos

Travel with Cosmos, part of the award-winning Globus family of brands, and you'll enjoy the perfect balance of must-see sightseeing coupled with significant time to do what you want on your own - all at a price that is well within reach. With Cosmos, the average price of a day in Europe, including hotel, breakfast, sightseeing and a Tour Director, is up to 30% less than if you booked just your hotel on your own! That's why Cosmos is recommended by Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel with domestic and international vacations for less than $100 a day.

More than four decades ago, Cosmos virtually invented the budget vacation, and since then we've become the benchmark for low-cost travel packages that never skimp on the fun and excitement. You'll stay in comfortable hotels, explore all of the must-see sights, enjoy a choice of popular activities and stay longer in the key cities so you can truly immerse yourself in the destination. Once you've discovered the special advantages of traveling with Cosmos, you'll never want to travel any other way - and because the price is right, you'll be able to travel more!
