Adriatic Cruises

Firstly, Tracey did a great job (as usual) booking this trip for us. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed in the trip that Intrepid provided. We visited some wonderful locations during our 8 days, but only sailed for about 4 hours during the whole trip. Had we not prompted the skipper to raise the sails, we would probably have sailed even less. read more There was always an excuse that there wasn’t enough wind, or there was too much wind, or the wind was from the wrong direction. This was even though there were yachts all around us under sail. We could only conclude that it was too much effort to sail the yacht.

We made a complaint to Intrepid, and they have advised that they have updated the notes for the trip to now indicate that it is possible that the skipper will need to use the motor for the entirety of the trip (pending weather conditions and the skipper's direction).

The cruise was very enjoyable. Visited many interesting places. Disappointed we did not get to Anzac Cove due to fires but the alternative visit to Troy was very good. Trip was good value for money. Food was excellent. Bar, restaurant, and cabin staff on the ship were excellent. Hannah Campbell and other staff from Global Journeys were excellent and read more very helpful when answering my queries.

Wonderful crew of diverse folks, great skipper, perfect weather, unique experiences on the sea and land. I highly recommend Global Journeys and would use them again!

11 day Princess cruise from Trieste to Athens highly recommended, would have liked longer. Enjoyed the fine dining experience, entertainment and our shore excursions. Interesting ports of call and loved the colour of the waters in the Adriatic. Beautiful weather in May, sunny and mild plus not too crowded. Have already booked next holiday with Global Journeys.
