A luxurious cruise means many things to many people but we feel that Silversea’s small ship cruises personify the true meaning of comfort.

Amazing Scandinavia trip
Follow The Northern Lights (Norway – Finland)
Mark, 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.

Fantastic cruise! We saw the northern lights 4 nights in a row - one on a shore tour and the others while sailing. The service was excellent and facilities on the ship were great.
Hannah + Scenic = A great holiday!
Norway to Portugal: The History & Traditions of Europe
Mairs A, NSW , Australia, Sep 2025
We really enjoyed our ocean cruise (Norway to Portugal: The History and Traditions of Europe) and our river cruise (Normandy and Gems of the Seine)... both by Scenic. Booking again with Hannah ensured that everything went like clockwork...from the time we left home till we got back. We cannot speak highly enough of the prompt service we always receive read more from Hannah and Global Journeys. We have also found that Global Journeys prices are competitive and they will go out of their way to meet your needs. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a perfectly organised holiday. Regarding Scenic...everything is included in their packages, making for a stress free vacation. The Scenic staff cannot do enough for you...and the food and drinks are always A+. If you do the Normandy river cruise, look out for any tours conducted by Ben Bailie. He is just fantastic!

Good cruise experience with P&O. It would be great if Global can package hotels and transfers into it to save us worrying about doing it. GJ: It's coming!!

I was happy with everything. I would use MSC Cruise Lines and Global Journeys again. My travel agent for this trip was Sam Harris and I was extremely satisfied with his service. However, Hannah took over my booking when Sam left and was helpful to me.
