Lovely cruise to see the British Isles
British Isles (Ireland, Scotland & France)
Sandra and Clem, NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
Every port on this British Isles Princess cruise was fabulous.....the shore excursions were filled with history, gorgeous scenery and value for money. We would choose to do the British Isles again, as the cruise covers so much and we would do different excursions to enjoy different sights. The weather in July was lovely and we were lucky enough to read more have no rain.
Thank you Global Journeys and Hannah C for again making our holiday seamless and very, very enjoyable.

Lovely cruise around the UK

Overall a lovely cruise. Once onboard everything was great. Cabin is nice (DV), crew wonderful, food great. We enjoyed the entertainment, particularly the shows put on by the Viking Vocalists. Two years ago we thought the excursions were very reasonably priced… now we think they are outrageously expensive. The included excursions are hit and miss. We read more missed Dublin due to an issue with the mooring rope and the propeller. We were happy to make it into Shetland, apparently it’s easy to miss Shetland due to weather.

This is our first ocean cruise with Viking and it lived up to our expectations. We really enjoyed the itinerary especially starting at the Cutty Sark wharf, brief stops in the Orkneys and Shetland and cruising through the fiords of Norway. The included excursions at each port were very good. Our cabin and facilities were very comfortable. Overall read more the ship was very good especially the included specialty restaurants - the Chefs Table and Manfredis. Our only disappointment was the dinner menu choices in The Restaurant. The World Cafe buffet was excellent for choice and quality. Georgie Walpole handled our booking efficiently as usual.
Wonderful cruise
Icelandic Fjords & British Isles
Robyn, NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
I would recommend this cruise. Iceland was an amazing destination. Happy with Princess. Even though Island Princess is one of their older ships I have no complaints.
Great cruise

Had a wonderful time on the Viking Mars cruising around the British Isles. The weather was perfect, it only rained on our last day (in Bergen). Our favourite stop was Invergorden where we cruised Loch Ness, walked around Urquhart Castle (which was the only Highland castle to hold out against the English), then we visited the standing stones at Craigh read more na Dun (famous in the Outlander series), then onto the site of the Culloden battlefield. Thanks to Jemma for all her hard work in looking after and helping with our booking. We’ve booked another cruise through Global Journeys and are looking forward to cruising the Seine next year.
Viking Cruise

Michael, Queensland, Australia, Jul 2023
Absolutely wonderful trip. Everything was never any trouble for the staff and crew. Everything from the shore excursions to the wonderful food and service were great. Friendly staff who helped in any way they could. I had my luggage misplaced by my airline between Rome and London and Viking went out of their way to help me in any way they could from read more tracking my luggage to give me a $150 on board credit even though it was not their fault. I think this is a great case of customer relations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Viking to any one wanting a wonderful trip.
