Join Global Village Tours on the maiden cruise of the Hondius on a trip to Eastern Greenland and take in all the sea, ice and wildlife you can as well as hopefully the Northern Lights! This year we will visit Eastern Greenland aboard the very comfortable MV Hondius, one of the best polar ships of its category. It exceeds the requirements of the Polar Code of the International Maritime Organization, which means this ship is one of those who leave the least impact on the fragile areas we’ll be visiting on what is truly one of the last frontiers of this planet.
Mongolia is an off the beaten path type of destination that can be a challenge to get to. Sometimes the Trans-Mongolian railway is the closest people get to 'seeing' Mongolia. Some people report being on the Trans-Mongolian for less than 10 hours, and immediately begin to wonder why they decided to spend 7 days on a train. Visiting Mongolia by itself though, is an experience in itself, and our standalone Mongolia Tour will have you exploring all the best things to see in Mongolia as well as its incredible Naadam Festival, a celebration of Mongolian culture.

If there is one time of the year that can be the most interesting to visit Cuba, it would have to be for the May Day parade - the biggest and most colourful celebration of the year in Cuba. A fusion of Soviet-era politics and Latin American carnival that the whole country comes to a standstill for. There is an unbelievable party atmosphere on the streets and it's an incredible experience to hear Latin revolutionary music on the streets and the communist party elite presiding over the festivities and parade.
Our Columbia tour takes in some incredible landscapes including Tayrona National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountain range including some time spent with the Wiwa indigenous people and a night in an eco resort for some R&R after some amazing hiking and little known swimming spots.
The tour begins in Old Havana, one of the best-preserved colonial cities in all of the Americas. What you will see around you is a Cuban city that was once incredibly rich, as is still evident in its now faded art deco and internationally influenced design - none of which has lost its appeal. Many buildings are now being restored and a stroll around Havana when you arrive for the first day of your tour is a sensory overload.
Real, authentic and bold - see Columbia and Cuba, the Global Village way!

Tell your grand kids you ran the Pyongyang Marathon in the Peoples Democratic of North Korea! This incredible event is only the fifth year that foreign tourists and amateurs are welcomed to compete or spectate from the grandstands of Kim Il Sung stadium.
Without a doubt one of the top tours of the DPRK tourist season, the birthday of President Kim Il Sung is the biggest celebration of the year. We expect this to be a huge celebration with fireworks, mass dancing, possibly parades and a number of other events that will most likely be announced much nearer the time to mark the 107th anniversary of the President’s birthday.
Aside from all the usual sites, May Day gives us one of the best opportunities to relax, meet, and hang out with locals during the celebrations on Moran Hill. Koreans take this holiday very seriously and you will more than be expected to sing, dance, and play around with them during the festivities.
