Enrich Your Travels with Globus’ Faith-Based Tours

Enrich your travels with a faith-based exploration through Europe or the Middle East. Globus’ collection of Religious Tours take you to places of profound significance and showcase special religious events to add further meaning to your journey. Here are some experiences you can look forward to on one of Globus’ faith-based itineraries.

Attend Mass at St. Peter's Basilica

Italy is rich with sites of devotion and deep Catholic roots. When you visit on Globus’ Grand Catholic Italy you can attend Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, an incredible place of worship where exquisite art and a moving service welcome you. You may also get the chance to attend the Papal Audience (subject to availability) and receive a Papal Blessing at the Vatican, along with visiting other significant sites in Rome and beyond.

Walk Alongside the Pilgrims in Lourdes

Lourdes is a spiritual place of pilgrimage and on the Marian Shrines of Europe itinerary you will spend three nights here to truly appreciate its history and significance. Opt to join the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of pilgrims and visitors in the evening torchlight procession when The Esplanade and parvis of the Rosary Basilica will be illuminated in candlelight. You are also invited on a walking tour that visits the birthplace of St. Bernadette and the grotto where the Virgin Mary appeared to her, as well as the beautiful Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine.

Follow in the Footsteps of Apostle Paul

Take a spiritual journey through Greece as you follow in the Footsteps of Apostle Paul. Visit important places where he preached, founded churches and wrote his epistles, including Thessalonika and Philippi in Northern Greece. Learn more about early Christianity as you stand where he addressed the people and delivered famous sermons, from the Bema of Apostle Paul in Veria to Areopagus in Athens. An enriching journey filled with important religious sites and historic wonders. 

Visit the Historic Sites of Jerusalem

Jerusalem will be your base for five nights on your Journey Through the Holy Land. Along with excursions to nearby sites of significance and natural beauty, you will have ample time to take in the rich history here. A guided walking tour will take you to important places, including the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed on the eve of his arrest, along the path he walked on the way to his crucifixion (Via Dolorosa) and where the Last Supper took place in the Upper Room.

Delve into the Life of Martin Luther

Globus’ European Reformation itinerary allows you to walk in the footsteps of Martin Luther, getting a deeper insight into his life and the places that held great significance to him and the Reformation. In Wittenberg a guided walking tour will showcase the home in which he and his family lived, as well as St. Mary’s Church where he preached reform and marked personal milestones, including his marriage and the baptism of his children. You’ll also get to see the door of Castle Church where Luther posted his 95 Theses which launched the Reformation in 1517, along with a wealth of other sites around Germany that held profound meaning in subsequent years.

Witness the Oberammergau Passion Play

This once-in-a-decade experience sees roughly 2,000 residents of Oberammergau come together to deliver an incredible play depicting the Passion of Christ. This iconic performance will take place again in 2020 and has been incorporated into a series of Globus itineraries to give guests the chance to witness this spectacular show on departures from May through to October 2020.
