About This Tour


See for yourself what makes Branson the epicenter of America’s musical entertainment industry! Begin your adventure in Kansas City, Missouri, with an orientation tour and free time to explore on your own. Then, travel into the heart of the Ozarks to Branson where you’ll stop by Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and enjoy VIP seats to the Presley’s Country Jubilee. Choose between performances by Les Brown and the Band of Renown or the Platters—and between Roy Rogers Jr. or the Twelve Irish Tenors. Crooner Andy Williams and Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff will entertain you, and you’ll also spend an unforgettable evening on board the Showboat Branson Belle. A farewell performance by Japanese-born entertainer Shoji Tabuchi and a visit to the Steamboat Arabia Museum are the perfect conclusion to a fun-filled vacation.

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus

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!


Do you have a large party of friends or family that wants to travel?

Right now when you book between 5 and 7 people before December 31, 2008, each passenger will save $75.* For example, book 5 passengers and receive a $375 discount, 6 passengers equals a $450 discount and 7 passengers will receive a $525 discount. With an offer like this, the world’s greatest destinations are now closer than ever!

Individuals must be traveling together from the same origination point to receive the discount. Not valid with any other offer and applies to new 2009 bookings only. Offer reliant on space availability. Full cancellation penalties will apply. Additional restrictions may apply.
