What our clients are saying about cruising Europe
Baltic Seas cruise on the Sky Princess
Norway, Denmark & Sweden
Brenda, WA, Australia, May 2026
We enjoyed our 14 day cruise, Tracey handled our booking and organised a great cabin on the ship. All the staff work very hard on the cruise ship to ensure everyone is well cared for, food was beautiful and best of all we had fabulous weather at the end of May. Many thanks.
Fabulous time in the Greek Isles
Iconic Greek Islands
Vicki and Deborah, QLD, Australia, May 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Celestyal Discovery sailing the Greek islands of Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, Kusadasi. The ship was fabulous, food plentiful and delicious, so much variety! The staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved it. The ports were great and for the most part enough time to do what you needed to do. We read more didn't book any onshore tours, just did our own thing and loved it. If I could pick a downside, it would be the time it took to get off at some of the ports, mostly though this was the passengers and not the crew who delayed the process somewhat. The shows in the evening were exceptional. Hannah at Global Journeys handled our booking and was fabulous to deal with. Very quick to answer any queries and the process super smooth. Thank you for a fabulous time:)
Beautiful Ports, Great Service, Wonderful Memories
Mediterranean with Italy & Croatia
Willard, VIC, Australia, May 2026
We recently completed an amazing Mediterranean cruise, and it was truly one of the best holidays we have ever experienced. From the moment we boarded the ship until the final day, everything was exceptionally well organised and enjoyable.
There were plenty of things to do on board every day, including live entertainment, music shows, relaxing lounges, read more informative activities, and excellent dining options. The atmosphere on the ship was friendly and welcoming, making every day exciting and relaxing at the same time.
The customer service throughout the cruise was outstanding. The staff were always polite, professional, and eager to help. Every crew member we encountered made us feel valued and comfortable, which added greatly to the overall experience.
The onshore excursions were unforgettable. Each destination offered beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable cultural experiences. The excursions were very well organised, allowing us to enjoy the ports without stress or confusion. Visiting the stunning Mediterranean coastal cities and islands created memories that we will cherish forever.
The food onboard was also excellent, with a wide variety of cuisines and consistently high-quality meals. The ship itself was clean, comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard.
We would also like to especially thank Global Journeys for their excellent customer service and assistance throughout the booking process. A special mention goes to travel advisor Grace Enchelmaier, whose professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made our travel planning smooth and stress-free. Her support and advice were greatly appreciated and contributed significantly to the success of our holiday.

A comfortable way to explore a magic area of Croatia.
Adriatic Coastal Cruise
Loris and Peter, ACT, Australia, Apr 2026
A most enjoyable way to experience the beautiful coastline of Croatia. The smaller ship was able to navigate into bays and ports that would have been inaccessible to larger ships. Every day revealed new vistas and an new understanding of the history of this whole area. The ship was comfortable, meals were outstanding and the wine flowed freely. The read more perfect weather was an added bonus.
Amazing stops in Greece/ Turkey/ Italy
Mediterranean
Fred, New Zealand, Mar 2026
Booked a cruise on MSC leaving Athens port for 7 nights. Booked this through the amazing Hannah Perry of Global Journeys. Hannah booked our previous cruise and since she was great to deal with we used her services again. As always, Hannah was attentive to all our queries always quick to respond. Thank you again Hannah, and will definitely see you again read more for the next one. We travelled from NZ to Greece for the cruise. Greece itself was mind blowing. Food, culture, beautiful and warm locals who were so proud of their heritage, country, and happy to share it with us. The MSC ship was smaller than the last I was on (Royal Carribean). Some of the staff were not as welcoming or easy to deal with, maybe it was the cold-ish weather during this time of year. The buffet was not as good as previous ship, and average at best. However, the booked restaurants were a lot better.
Thankfully Hannah booked our group a table for the whole stay for dinner. The stops and excursions on the other hand exceeded our expectations. Corfu/ Izmir/ Istanbul/ Bari - wow. Great food/ history/ and views to be in awe of. Though it was cold in late March/ early April - much preferred as not overflowing with people, and got to see everything we wanted. Our holiday was spectacular. MSC Ship was pretty average, but I am bias having only been on one other ship (Royal Caribean) which was stunning. However - our holiday alone was stunninggg... great memories.
