Norwegian Fjords Antonio and Po Lin Josephine , NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
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!!
Iceland, British isles & Iberia Andrey and Inna, VIC, Australia, Jul 2025
Very well organized trip and fantastic experience. Excellent service. Beautiful cruise, food on brand new ship. Will try to book new cruise when opportunity arises again.
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.
Cruise - 7 nights on Queen Mary 2 Norwegian Fjords Elisabeth and Paul, QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
The cruise went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised with priority check-in at the Cruise Ship, having booked a Club Balcony Stateroom. Meals were excellent and the tours we picked were also excellent. Staff on board were also excellent. Loved the scenery of Norway. Enjoyed Cunard except for being on the 13th... read more floor, overall it was good, just it was difficult to be able to get to the 13th floor as there were only 2 lifts available that would go to that level floor. It meant a lot of walking around to get to restaurants, etc. There needs to be more clear signage as well on the ship to get from A to B. Tracey was very good, everything went smoothly. Information received was clear and it was easy to get to Cunard Portal for bookings, etc. This is only the second time we have used Global Journeys and would do so again.
