Our Story
It all began more than 90 years, when in 1928, a young man, Antonio Mantegazza purchased a rowboat to transport visitors across Lake Lugano, Switzerland sharing stories of the local sights and stories along the way. This small enterprise grew quickly, motivating a young Antonio to purchase more rowboats, convincing his friends to join him as he expanded this budding business. Growing from rowboats to motorboats to motor coach, Antonio was at the helm of a full-fledged travel business, which he named Globus Viaggi. Through the 1930’s Antonio acquired two other competing coach companies and grew his fleet to 33 coaches. Across 1950’s, 60’s and 80’s, Globus spread its wings far and wide to truly become worldwide selling from Australia to Asia to Europe and the Americas.
THE BIRTH OF COSMOS
While Globus caters to the elite and the affluent, there was a growing population for budget vacations. And thus was born Cosmos. Since inventing the budget vacation more than 50 years ago, Cosmos has refined the concept of low-cost travel packages. Today, cosmos offer travelers more than 100 vacation packages, to nearly every corner of the world, at the best value.
Launched in the 1960s providing affordable vacations initially only in Europe, Cosmos, became so successful that air travel was introduced, which made it a truly global company bringing destinations like Australia, New Zealand and Canada under its wings. By this time, Sergio Mantegazza, Antonio’s son was on board and pioneering the future of Cosmos. Destinations expanded to Africa, South Pacific and Asia as well, making Cosmos truly global in nature.
