Malta, Morocco & the Med
Malta, Morocco & the Mediterranean
Gloria and Paul, QLD, Australia, Feb 2026
Sailing with Viking was perfect, they really look after all their passengers. Embarking & disembarking are fast, smooth & seamless. Food was varied & often followed the theme of the port we were visiting. Staff are all so friendly & genuine in their interactions with everyone. The cabin is so well laid out we had drawers we didn’t use. Everything was read more well thought out & their experience in cruising is obvious. One or two ports were a bit dull, not sure why Tunis is a destination, perhaps it’s just logistics because of the distance to cover.
One bit we found a bit perhaps unfair is when they release the excursions, the penthouses, owners suites, Explorers suites etc get to choose & book first, thereby making it harder to get a spot in places where there is a very big highlight…such as Alhambra. We booked our excursions the second they were sent to us & still missed out. Three of the restaurants stand out, Manfredi, Chefs Table & The Restaurant - excellent food choices & high standard but not snooty at all, but that is not to say the casual restaurants & cafes were anything other than very good. You do not need to dress up, just smart casual is fine. It’s never been our choice to go to any of the shows so can’t comment. It will be nearly impossible for us to choose another company to sail with in the future.

Northern Lights with Hurtigruten in Norway
The North Cape Line (Full Roundtrip Voyage From Oslo)
Mike and Carol, Australia, Jan 2026
Loved our cruise with MS Trollfjord Hurtigruten. What a fabulous 14 day trip visiting Norway during winter. We were worried that it would be too cold but the ship is heated so only need to rug up when you venture out. We were lucky enough to see the Northern LIghts and snow on several occasions and the staff are very helpful on board. The food was read more fantastic with 3 course a la carte meals every night based on the region or town we visited that day (variety and options to suit all). Must have the drinks package as the service is great and the staff are very experienced at matching the wine to the meals. Shore excursions are varied to accommodate personal abilities. Several lounge and quiet areas to relax and view the scenery. A variety of activities offered on board while sailing to help pass the time. Free laundromat available with washers and dryers if wanted.
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.
Northern Lights & Winter Wonderland
Follow The Northern Lights (Norway – Finland)
Jodi, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
Our 17 day journey through Norway, Lapland & Finland was phenomenal. It was a combined Cruise/Land tour with Hurtigruten & I can honestly say all hotels used were of a very high standard, best I've had on any tour & the Glass Igloos were a highlight. The Hurtigruten ship is a working ship not a cruise ship, however rooms were comfortable & food was read more good. We took this tour in Winter, Jan 2026, & I had to keep pinching myself, it felt like I was living in a Xmas fairytale, snowed everyday & Northern Lights at night, surreal.
The activities offered on this itinerary were exceptional eg. Husky dog sledding, Reindeer Safari etc. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. As for our consultant Hannah Campbell, she was amazing. We were a group of 4 friends travelling together so there were alot of questions. I was nominated spokesperson for the group & anytime I emailed Hannah she was always so quick to respond back. We were so impressed with Hannah & Global Journeys that we currently have another 2 active bookings in the system with her. Would highly recommend both Hannah & Global Journeys. Can't wait for our next adventures!

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.
