Review of Scenic Eclipse II cruise to Raja Ampat Dieter and Patricia, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
The ship was lovely - good well sized cabins with excellent food and service. The cruise description implied there would be many excellent snorkelling opportunities but in 2 weeks there were only 3 or 4 such outings. The Scenic administration (pre-cruise) can only be described as totally useless (many other passengers expressed the same view to us)... read more - e-mails and phone calls were never answered - totally incorrect and confusing information on the requirements for an Indonesian visa were provided. Our agent at Global Journeys, Tracey, did a great job of trying to follow up with Scenic.
Wonders of China Sept 2025 Lyndel & Paul, QLD, Australia, Sep 2025
We have had an amazing trip with Viking both the cruise and the land based extension. As usual Viking have out done themselves of the excursions and the little add ons. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in broadening their horizon's. Photo from the Shanghai Tower, 118th floor.
A Wonderful North Pacific Cruise on Viking Venus from Vancouver to Tokyo. Di and Ian, VIC , Australia, Sep 2025
We have just returned from another wonderful Viking Ocean Cruise expertly booked and managed by Hannah Perry. Any concerns or changes we requested were promptly addressed and resolved. We travelled with Viking again as their ships are large enough to provide excellent facilities, service and dining whilst maintaining a personal element. Voyaging through... read more the Inside Passage to Alaska then across to Japan with Viking was filled with beatuiful, ever changing vistas. We enjoyed our shore time but also our sea days when we could choose our own agenda. So we have already booked another Viking Ocean cruise - using Hannah of course. Many thanks!
Japan Carla, BC, Canada, Jul 2025
The service I received was excellent. The boat is divine. The ports aren't that interesting, they're more like abandoned villages.
