Norwegian Fiords 7 days Terry and Angela, QLD, Australia, Apr 2025
Thank you Global Journeys for all your help. The ship was beautiful well serviced and off journey trips everything you could ask for. Our compliments to the team at Global Journeys as we had np problems at all over the whole process. We are still in Jersey at the moment and have another two weeks in England. We will certainly use Global in the futu ...read morere.
British Isles and Iberia cruise Christine and Rob, NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Wonderful cruise but very American orientated. Lectures onboard were informative but also directed to the American audience. Shore excursions were well organised and entertainment fantastic. Size of ship is also appealing. Global Journeys were great to book through and will continue to organise my travel arrangements through Georgie.
Viking Homelands and Majestic Iceland Cruise Lee and Jim, TAS, Australia, Jul 2024
This was our first cruise with Viking and won’t be our last. The Viking Venus had a wonderful ambience in all public areas. With a crew member for every two people, the service was quick in the restaurants, cafes and bars. Food, drinks, entertainment, lectures and port talks were first rate.
There are no internal cabins, they all have balconies ...read more and serviced twice a day by friendly stewards. There are two specialist restaurants, as well as the main restaurant and World Cafe which is a buffet style and has special food nights, like pasta, kebab, lobster and Asian. Unless you particularly want yo drink premium wines, those served at lunch and dinner are of good quality.
In every port there was an included tour, some were better than others. We didn’t know before we went that there would be shuttle buses in some of the ports. Would have used one in Gdańsk to do the Amber Museum instead of paying for an optional tour. Go in the morning, as we had not time to shop for amber as the heavens opened up in the afternoon. A large storm with torrential rain, lightning, flooding cut our tour short and absolutely drenched and sitting soaked through on a bus for an hour.
In Oslo, go to Museum Island on the first day in port. As we were doing an included tour in the afternoon and the ship sailed before lunch the next day, we did not have time to do this. Kon-Tiki, Explorers and Folk museums are all near each other and you can take a boat from the wharf over to the island. Scandinavian cities are all situated around a wharf area, have brightly coloured houses, lovely gardens and many souvenir shops. Sailing into the fjords is very scenic and many waterfalls cascading down from the mountains.
The Majestic Iceland cruise continued from Bergen to the Faroe Islands and around Iceland to Reykjavik. We stayed two extra days there and did three tours. The first with Arctic Adventure, who offer a combo tour - the lava tunnels and Golden Circle. The second was with Gateway to Iceland to the Rekjanes Peninsula, which is the geo-thermal area and more interesting than the commercialised Golden Circle. We stood between the two continents, the North American and European plates that are pulling Iceland apart slowly.
Tracey at Global Journeys was always in contact with us from booking to departure and answered any queries promptly. We could pay by instalments, which spreads the payments easily during the months before our trip. We have now booked several trips with Global Journeys with no problems and appreciate the discounts and attention to detail.
Norwegian Cruise with P&O Cheryl and Raul Jr, NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
It was our first cruise and is an awesome experience. The service with P&O, the food, the planned arranged activities on every dock to breathtaking scenic views in Norway and it was summer good weather to cruise. I will use Global Journey's again to organise my next cruise. Thanks Hannah for this well arranged cruise 🚢. Until next time...
