Glide along canals of St Petersburg past the palatial buildings and be awestruck by the pristine waters and stunning landscapes of Norway’s fjords.

Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their cruises around the Arctic, Baltic and Scandinavia

Extremely enjoyable ocean cruise.   , QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
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.
Norway and Iceland Cruise   , NSW , Australia, Jul 2025
We booked our Princess cruise around Norway and Iceland through Hannah at Global Journeys. Hannah has now coordinated several holidays for us and we couldn’t ask for better service anywhere. Everything is always promptly and meticulously organised. Hannah’s attention to detail is outstanding and ensures a very smooth and enjoyable holiday from start ...read more to finish. Nothing ever seems too much trouble for her to follow up.

We have also found that Global Journeys is very competitive price wise and happily recommend their services for wherever you wish to travel. We really enjoyed cruising with Princess again on this trip. We appreciate the standard of their service, food and staterooms, especially in the Reserve Collection. We do find the shore excursions they offer to be on the pricey side, but with some pre-cruise research, more price competitive options can often be found in the various ports of call. Good luck with your holiday planning! No matter where you may be planning to go, it’s worth giving Global Journeys a call! Wishing you happy and safe travels.
Beautiful cruise through the fjords of Norway   , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
The ship was beautiful. Iona is one of P&Os newer ships. It is a big ship. Holds about 5,500 passengers. So keep that in mind. But it didn’t feel crowded. Scenery was amazing. I had a balcony cabin at the front which I would recommend as you can see both sides of the fjords. Georgie was as always was an amazing travel consultant. Can recommend her and ...read more Global Journeys as being excellent.
Princess Cruises   , WA, Australia, Jun 2025
We recently booked a cruise through Racheal at Global Journeys, and once again, everything was exceptional. This time we explored Iceland and Norway — the fjords were absolutely stunning, and the glacier walk in Iceland was an unforgettable experience. After that, we continued on to the Baltics, where the sights were just as incredible.

We’ve been ...read more on quite a few cruises now, and the last three have all been booked through Racheal. I honestly can’t fault her service — she’s prompt, professional, and always helpful. Her attention to detail and quick responses make planning so much easier.

I’ve recommended her to others, including my daughter, who’s also used her services. Global Journeys offers competitive pricing, and the awards on their website speak for themselves. If you're considering a cruise or any kind of travel, don’t hesitate to reach out to them — you won’t regret it. I certainly haven’t — in fact, I’ve already booked another cruise with them next year to Fiji!
