Hannah + Scenic = A great holiday! Norway to Portugal: The History & Traditions of Europe Mairs A, NSW , Australia, Sep 2025
We really enjoyed our ocean cruise (Norway to Portugal: The History and Traditions of Europe) and our river cruise (Normandy and Gems of the Seine)... both by Scenic. Booking again with Hannah ensured that everything went like clockwork...from the time we left home till we got back. We cannot speak highly enough of the prompt service we always receive read more from Hannah and Global Journeys. We have also found that Global Journeys prices are competitive and they will go out of their way to meet your needs. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a perfectly organised holiday. Regarding Scenic...everything is included in their packages, making for a stress free vacation. The Scenic staff cannot do enough for you...and the food and drinks are always A+. If you do the Normandy river cruise, look out for any tours conducted by Ben Bailie. He is just fantastic!
Iceland, British isles & Iberia Iceland, British isles & Iberia Andrey and Inna, VIC, Australia, Jul 2025
Very well organized trip and fantastic experience. Excellent service. Beautiful cruise, food on brand new ship. Will try to book new cruise when opportunity arises again.
Princess cruises in the Mediterranean are great. Grand European Explorer Sandra and Clem, NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
A great way to see the beautiful sights in the Mediterranean....one of the highlights of the trip was going to Malta, seeing the deep Ink blue water, viewing the Blue Grotto from a small boat and swimming in the ocean. Also loved Barcelona and with amazing architecture and stunning gardens. The weather was warm late June, early July, although not read more humid so was manageable. Global Journeys offer great service and we have already booked another holiday with them and will keep using them as their website is so easy to navigate. Thank you Hannah C for all of your help.
British Isles and Iberia cruise Iceland, British isles & Iberia Christine and Rob, NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Wonderful cruise but very American orientated. Lectures onboard were informative but also directed to the American audience. Shore excursions were well organised and entertainment fantastic. Size of ship is also appealing. Global Journeys were great to book through and will continue to organise my travel arrangements through Georgie.
