Globus is doubling down on demand for more intimate touring, unveiling three new Small Group Discovery itineraries in Europe for 2026.
The operator says its small-group format is resonating strongly with holidaymakers who value hands-on experiences whether cooking with a Sicilian chef, meeting local producers or exploring quieter corners away from crowds.
New programmes include:
Ireland Unveiled: Beyond the Blarney: A 10-day journey from Dublin uncovering authentic rural life, including scone-making at Rathbaun Farm, a ferry trip to remote Cape Clear Island and a medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle. Priced from £3,692pp, departing July 25, 2026.
Gems of Sicily and Malta: This 10-day itinerary blends heritage and cuisine, from Palermo to Valletta via a catamaran crossing. Guests can expect street-food lessons, rustic farm dining and a chef-led farewell feast. Costs from £3,566pp, departing October 10, 2026.
Soul of Portugal: An eight-day foodie-focused trip from Lisbon to Porto with olive-estate tastings, exclusive winery access and a sardine-canning workshop. Priced from £2,885pp, departing October 7, 2026.
Globus and sister brand Cosmos are also launching new classic tours in Europe for 2026, including Turkish Sampler from £1,516pp and Scenic Slovenia and Croatia from £820pp, both featuring guided sightseeing, local transport and hand-picked stays.
