Norway Cruises   Norwegian Fjords , VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
The cruise on Iona was great. The entertainment was good but it was booked out by the first day by previous travellers that knew about how hard it was to get into. Our agent Tracey was very helpful and we would definitely use her again.
Great Baltic Sea cruise Baltic Cruise From Copenhagen To Helsinki , ON, Canada, Sep 2026

Scandinavian Cruise   Scandinavia , SA, Australia, Sep 2026
I booked a Sky Princess cruise with Grace and found her to be very quick to respond to any queries and was very easy to communicate with. I am in the process of booking another cruise with her as she was so good. I enjoyed the cruise with my husband which was 12 nights, although I was a bit sea sick. We booked excursions with the ship which were mainly read more pretty good I would have enjoyed some free time to explore a bit on our own after, I did find them quite expensive overall. We unfortunately didn’t see Estonia as it was too windy to dock. There was plenty to do on board if you wanted to get to get involved with all the activities. I would go with the same cruise line as it was all very well organized and the crew were very nice.
Perfect Journey Ultimate Baltic & Nordic Marvels: Stockholm, Copenhagen & Norwegian Fjords , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
Thank you Rachel at Global Journeys for helping us to book our dream holiday on Scenic Exlipse II when we found Scenic to be unhelpful. Grace took over from Rachel and was also very efficient with some details as well as obtaining a refund for our flight change from Emirates to Thai Airways. The boat is magnificent - brilliant stabilisers, great facilities, read more staff couldn’t be better and excellent and varied dining experiences. The included daily excursions and guide were of very high quality. We enjoyed the 21 day trip from Stockholm to Bergen visiting Estonia, Latvia, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. There were many highlights but we will never forget sailing through the Norwegian Fjords.
Baltic Seas cruise on the Sky Princess Norway, Denmark & Sweden , WA, Australia, May 2026
We enjoyed our 14 day cruise, Tracey handled our booking and organised a great cabin on the ship. All the staff work very hard on the cruise ship to ensure everyone is well cared for, food was beautiful and best of all we had fabulous weather at the end of May. Many thanks.
Amazing Scandinavia trip Follow the Northern Lights (Northbound) , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We did an extended land and sea tour with Hurtigruten from Oslo, up through Norway then cruised up past the north Cape and then travelled down through Laplands then down to Helsinki. The scenery was spectacular. We saw amazing northern lights in Lapland especially. Hurtigruten cruise was very comfortable. Typical cruise ship cabin, well maintained. read more Meals were so provided and varied from buffet to ala carte. Food was good quality. We had also booked a Travelmarvel river cruise, however due to damage to a lock in the river system they had to cancel the cruise. While we were very disappointed, they fully refunded our payment, and let us stay on board for 3 nights with all meals and drinks until we made other arrangements. Overall, a fantastic trip. Thank you Hannah for helping us arrange yet another trip. You are always there to help we really appreciate all that you've done.
