What our clients are saying about their South Pacific cruise
This was our first Silversea cruise and it was everything we hoped it would be. Our cabin was very nice with a balcony, walk in robe, bath and separate shower and a very comfortable bed. The food in the restaurants was outstanding with filet Mignon steak and lobster available every day. There was a wide variety to choose from on the menus. There read more was also. a good variety of wines to choose from and bottomless champagne! Two evenings Silversea organised a BBQ on a local island with local entertainment which was very well organised.
Carnival Encounter 3 - 11 April 2026
Pacific Island Hopper Cruise
Melissa and Mark, QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Thank you for the help in arranging the cruise and answering all my questions. The only feedback I have is that it would have been good to have more information about the cruise app, what to expect on the cruise/itinerary and what to arrange to get the best out of the Carnival App/Experience. eg. The dinner reservations, booking, water, shuttles for read more port stops, things to do on the ship/events and any other tips about port stops. Thank you so much and looking forward to planning more trips with Grace and Global Journeys.
Sunny South Pacific--Ideal for swimming and snorkeling
New Caledonia & Vanuatu
Peter, SA, Australia, Jan 2026
I have never been to the South Pacific apart from New Zealand, so doing a Princess cruise to New Caledonia and Vanuatu was something that I was looking forward to. Fortunately, the weather was fine and in the high 20s on virtually every day. The Crown Princess is a more traditional type of cruise ship. The staff were great and so was the food. We attended read more the Da Vinci walk-in restaurant most nights and we were fortunate that for half the time of the cruise we were able to sit in the area that was serviced by two of the waiting staff whom we got to know pretty well, to the extent that when they visit our town in the next month, we have invited them for a catch up.
The highlights for me were spending time lazing on a lounge in a place called Turtle Bay which is something that was not offered by the cruise ship itself, swimming in one of the blue lagoons, visiting the caves of Jokin, and spending time and swimming at Mystery Island. Having a free laundromat facility was a huge plus.
The problems that we had were that for some reason we had some insects in the room at night and even though I complained, nothing was done about it. In addition, we had a water pipe that broke in our corridor outside our room on more than one occasion that meant that we had to have a heater noisily trying to dry the carpets outside the room. Overall, I was grateful that we had a balcony stateroom so we could avoid the noise in the corridor for several days. One issue that really hit hard was the age and immobility of so many of the passengers. I've never seen that many outside a nursing home. Overall, I enjoyed the cruise and the destinations and again I am pleased with Global Journeys and with Hannah in booking this cruise.

We sailed from Sydney early in January 2026, bound for Fiji which we had not sailed to before, nor had we sailed upon the Discovery Princess. As with the Royal Princess, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful in any situation. The food on board was fabulous, particularly in the main dining rooms. As always the upper deck (bistro) eatery read more was always busy, but the variety of food was amazing. I was surprised to find more entertainment options around the ship and we were lucky enough to have had an Irish Duo singing in the Irish Pub. Rory and Roisin were fantasic. We sailed into Suva and Lautoka and did a self guided walk around these towns. Our third stop at Denarau Island was cancelled due to berthing issues at this location, but this was quickly changed to Mystery Island (Inyeug Island) which is part of Vanuatu. This was a gorgeous stop and was a great alternative. The island is only 1.5km long by 200m wide, so was fairly busy with a few thousand tourist lobbing there. Back on the ship for the trip home, I found the Retreat (over 18's only), which had a nice - if shallow plunge pool. Overall, a very enjoyable trip, made even better with meeting great people. Cheers
