What our clients are saying about their South Pacific cruise
Crown Princess Sydney-Sydney Fiji & New Zealand , WA, Australia, Apr 2026
Global Journeys is a very good company to organise your travel plans. Georgie Walpole is extremely efficient, friendly and reliable, just what you need in a person organising your holiday. We did a Princess cruise ex-Sydney to Noumea, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tauranga, Auckland and back to Sydney. The crew were excellent, food pretty good too. On this read more particular cruise there seemed to be too many sea days and unless you use the Casino and like Zumba, there's not a great deal to do during the day, apart from the trivia quiz. The shows were very good. As per usual, we returned home with colds, which we have come to expect. The cruise passengers average age was probably in the 70s.
NewCaledonia,Vanuatu, Fiji, NZ Apr/May   Fiji & New Zealand , NSW , Australia, Apr 2026
We have been happy with all our past Princess cruises and this was a pretty good one too. Highlights were the two tropical islands in Vanuatu and Fiji and the village and school visit in Suva. We always book formal dining and the restaurants for breakfast and lunch on sea days. Up to usual good standard. The included pizzas and soft serve ice cream read more was great on the pool deck. Espresso coffee is hit but often miss and not great value for what it is. Wait staff in dining room were great. Onboard shows were good. Not a lot to do on sea days BUT wifi at sea was fast and helped me fill in time using my phone or tablet with VPN. Wiil always pay for it on future cruises as it's now Starlink and seemed very reliable. Embarkation and "debarking" pretty seamless. Will book again with Global Journeys.
Fiji and New Zealand Princess Cruise Fiji & New Zealand , NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
Crown Princess cruise to South Pacific 16 days April/May 2026. Very enjoyable. Highlights were excursion to village and school in Suva, beautiful Mystery Island for swim, and excursion from ship to North Shore Auckland worthwhile. Quality of food on ship excellent but preferred dining room option for meals (permanent evening reservation recommended). read more Coffee not the best. Entertainment on board great and attended many trivia events on sea days. Housekeeping staff looked after us well. Booking with Grace at Global Journeys ensured booking progressed smoothly from start to finish. Happy to book again with Global for our future adventures.

Two evenings Silversea organised a BBQ on a local island with local entertainment which was very well organised.
