About This Tour

Vacation Overview
Go behind the scenes in Los Angeles to experience the Tournament of Roses, America's most famous New Year's celebration. The fun begins with a visit to the Getty Museum to see its extensive art collection followed by free time in Santa Monica. Then ring in the New Year with a festive dinner and dance gala complete with hats, live music, party favors, and champagne. Celebrate New Year's Day watching the Tournament of Roses Parade in reserved grandstand seats at the beginning of the parade route. The next day, view the individual floats at leisure in the Post-Parade Viewing Area to get an up-close view and smell of the roses. A farewell dinner on board the historic RMS Queen Mary is the perfect way to end your vacation. This year, don’t just watch the Tournament of Roses parade on TV; see it live with prime viewing seats.

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus Tours

Discount for young travelers

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Pay less for your second vacation

We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.

Triple room reduction

On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.

Avoid the single room supplement

We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
