Lovely Autumn Cruise
Circle Japan Fall Foliage
Sandra and Clem, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
We enjoyed our cruise although we do prefer the Princess Royal class of cruise ship, as the Diamond Princess doesn’t have a large Piazza with cafe, no concierge lounge and not quite as many facilities. November was a great time of year to see the Autumn colour, Mt Fuji with snow on the top, plus the weather was perfect and we didn’t have any rain. The read more shore excursions were good, but very expensive. Once again a big thank you to Hannah C for organising everything and we highly recommend Global Journeys for a great booking experience.
Thank you Global Journeys- Diamond Princess Cruise
Circle Japan
Sandra and Peter , New Zealand, Oct 2025
I’d like to thank Hannah from Global Journeys for her help and for answering all my questions so promptly. It was very reassuring having her to help us on our journey. The 9 Day Japan cruise on Diamond Princess was amazing from start to end. The onboard entertainment was incredible and the staff so welcoming and friendly. The variety of food was excellent. read more We had a wonderful time.
A Wonderful North Pacific Cruise on Viking Venus from Vancouver to Tokyo.
North Pacific Crossing
Di and Ian, VIC , Australia, Sep 2025
We have just returned from another wonderful Viking Ocean Cruise expertly booked and managed by Hannah Perry. Any concerns or changes we requested were promptly addressed and resolved. We travelled with Viking again as their ships are large enough to provide excellent facilities, service and dining whilst maintaining a personal element. Voyaging through read more the Inside Passage to Alaska then across to Japan with Viking was filled with beatuiful, ever changing vistas. We enjoyed our shore time but also our sea days when we could choose our own agenda. So we have already booked another Viking Ocean cruise - using Hannah of course. Many thanks!

The service I received was excellent. The boat is divine. The ports aren't that interesting, they're more like abandoned villages.
Grand adventure
Japan Circumnavigation
Robyn and Ron, QLD, Australia, May 2025
We were looking forward to a holiday that was going to give us the overall coverage of Japan in one trip so we thought the Cunard QE was going to give us that and it did. We enjoyed the trip but thought the boat was a bit too over the top for us. We felt if you weren’t the type of people who wanted to go glitzy each night there was little alternative read more - for that reason we felt a bit left out. Food was average and we expected better for a ship that is suppose to exude luxury but we saw all the sights we wanted and at a convenient docking spot each day.

Far Eastern Horizons
Geoff, QLD, Australia, Apr 2025
Firstly thanks to Hannah Campbell. Hannah was very helpful in booking our trip and responding to my queries. Some of the included excursions were disappointing. eg. 2 hours at Hiroshima Peace Park was too long and should of had an alternative excursion in Kobe when weather blocked mountain top views. No refund for cancelled excursion in Tokyo due to bad weather.
