Norway and Iceland Cruise   , NSW , Australia, Jul 2025
We booked our Princess cruise around Norway and Iceland through Hannah at Global Journeys. Hannah has now coordinated several holidays for us and we couldn’t ask for better service anywhere. Everything is always promptly and meticulously organised. Hannah’s attention to detail is outstanding and ensures a very smooth and enjoyable holiday from start ...read more to finish. Nothing ever seems too much trouble for her to follow up.

We have also found that Global Journeys is very competitive price wise and happily recommend their services for wherever you wish to travel. We really enjoyed cruising with Princess again on this trip. We appreciate the standard of their service, food and staterooms, especially in the Reserve Collection. We do find the shore excursions they offer to be on the pricey side, but with some pre-cruise research, more price competitive options can often be found in the various ports of call. Good luck with your holiday planning! No matter where you may be planning to go, it’s worth giving Global Journeys a call! Wishing you happy and safe travels.
APT expedition cruise Northern Europe   , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
Would certainly book with Global Journeys again, as Hannah Perry, our travel consultant was always prompt in responding to any queries or concerns, gave us a very good price for our luxury cruise & also had us upgraded to a higher deck on ship, Seabourn Venture. Can’t recommend her enough! As for cruise itself, we are probably not as enthusiastic even ...read more though ship was luxurious, with exquisite food, beautifully presented & staff were excellent, as we found it difficult to relax. You always had to be at lecture or on excursion! While majority of shore excursions were well organised & interesting, there were definitely others that were tiring & involved much effort to get from ship to shore for little purpose - (Brock!) Last day was especially exhausting with morning activity & long afternoon bus trip, when majority of passengers needed to organise luggage to depart ship early next morning.
Viking cruise Norway and Iceland     , VIC, Australia, Jun 2025
Great Viking cruise - the coast line of Norway is spectacular. Global Journeys assistance throughout the booking was first class, and we certainly appreciated Hannah’s help in getting early receipt of luggage tags etc. We booked a future Viking cruise through Hannah whilst on our Norwegian cruise , proof positive of our recommendation for both Viking ...read more and Hannah.
Princess Cruises   , WA, Australia, Jun 2025
We recently booked a cruise through Racheal at Global Journeys, and once again, everything was exceptional. This time we explored Iceland and Norway — the fjords were absolutely stunning, and the glacier walk in Iceland was an unforgettable experience. After that, we continued on to the Baltics, where the sights were just as incredible.

We’ve been ...read more on quite a few cruises now, and the last three have all been booked through Racheal. I honestly can’t fault her service — she’s prompt, professional, and always helpful. Her attention to detail and quick responses make planning so much easier.

I’ve recommended her to others, including my daughter, who’s also used her services. Global Journeys offers competitive pricing, and the awards on their website speak for themselves. If you're considering a cruise or any kind of travel, don’t hesitate to reach out to them — you won’t regret it. I certainly haven’t — in fact, I’ve already booked another cruise with them next year to Fiji!
