Our cruise was beyond expectations 1 Anthony Inglis And The National Symphony Orchestra Roderick and Katherine, MA, United States, Sep 2025
Hayley Lounds at Global Journeys was exceptional in handling any issues we raised prior to cruise. Having experienced a number of European River cruises we were delighted with the high standards onboard. Fabulous state room, excellent quality food. Congratulations to all involved. Looking forward to next cruise.
Cruise - 7 nights on Queen Mary 2 Norwegian Fjords 1 Norwegian Fjords Elisabeth and Paul, QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
The cruise went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised with priority check-in at the Cruise Ship, having booked a Club Balcony Stateroom. Meals were excellent and the tours we picked were also excellent. Staff on board were also excellent. Loved the scenery of Norway. Enjoyed Cunard except for being on the 13th read more floor, overall it was good, just it was difficult to be able to get to the 13th floor as there were only 2 lifts available that would go to that level floor. It meant a lot of walking around to get to restaurants, etc. There needs to be more clear signage as well on the ship to get from A to B. Tracey was very good, everything went smoothly. Information received was clear and it was easy to get to Cunard Portal for bookings, etc. This is only the second time we have used Global Journeys and would do so again.
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.
Queen Elizabeth cruise Sydney to Singapore 2 Sydney To Singapore Janet and Martin , QLD, Australia, Feb 2025
First class accommodation in Princess Grill and dining options very good. Entertainment was superb and we visited the theatre every night.
Sad to see Queen Elizabeth Cruise ship leaving Australia. 4 Tasmania Barbara and John, SA, Australia, Dec 2024
Cunard is to leave Australia and is not returning. We have enjoyed our cruises on this wonderful ship, so many areas to visit, morning coffee in the Commodor Club, breakfast, lunch, evening meals all fine dining each day, not to mention the afternoon tradition of afternoon tea. Our stateroom was always very clean and bathroom clean and shiny. We always read more choose the Main Dining room for meals rather than the casual dining in the Lido. Evening shows with high class entertainment, fabulous costumes. Staff at every level are fantastic.
Writers festival at Sea - Cunard 6 Australian Literature Festival At Sea John and Elizabeth , NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
The trip was well worth doing, the writers talks were excellent and this combined with a great ship made the experience memorable. There is lots of choice of food, activities and great cabins which all put together makes for a wonderful trip.

Women
Men
Women
- Daywear: Polo shirts, T-shirts and casual tops, such as a kaftan, paired with shorts, a skirt or casual, lightweight pants or trousers are a great choice or day dresses for a slightly more elegant alternative. Even if it’s likely to be hot and sunny, it’s usually sensible to pack a few cardigans or lightweight sweaters too for on deck and around the ship. Footwear ideas include smart sneakers or gym shoes, sandals and open-toed shoes, such as espadrilles.
- Smart attire (Relaxed evenings): An elegant dress, flowing maxi skirt and top or combine a blouse and pants or trousers. Complete your outfit with low or high heel or court shoes.
- Gala Evenings: These are the sparkling occasions with a celebratory atmosphere for which you pack your favourite evening dress, that flowing ball gown or a statement cocktail dress. Then again, you may feel more comfortable in a formal combination, such as a jacket, blouse or shirt and pants or trousers.
Men
- Daywear: Casual long or short sleeve shirt, a polo shirt, a T-shirt or a sweater paired with shorts, lightweight or cargo trousers. Footwear can be equally relaxed, so you might wish to bring sandals, deck shoes or smart sneakers.
- Smart attire (Relaxed evenings): A jacket or blazer in the main bars, restaurants and entertainment venues, paired with trousers, chinos and a shirt with a tie or an open collar, or even just over a crew neck jumper. You might complete the outfit with brogues, loafers or boots.
- Gala Evenings: Dinner jacket or tuxedo – which you are more than welcome to wear with a kilt. Many choose to finish the look with a bow tie, perhaps even a cummerbund. A dark two-piece or three-piece suit is perfectly acceptable too, whether with a regular tie or a cravat. Smart shoes.
If I am travelling on consecutive cruises, do I need to disembark the ship with my luggage for immigration purposes?
All ports are different, and some ports require a face to face Immigration Inspection. These will either be conducted on board the ship or ashore. Details of this will be provided once you are on board and are subject to operational requirements.
