Ghan train   The Ghan Expedition , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
Our holiday on the Ghan was wonderful. The staff on the train were fantastic and I would give them 10 out of 10. My family and I were in carriage C1 and C2. Hannah is lovely and nothing is too much trouble for her to deal with. I have booked through her before, and definitely will again.
Fantastic Majestic Mekong Cruise Majestic Mekong Cruise , WA, Australia, Mar 2026
We have just completed the Majestic Mekong River cruise and below is my feedback. Once again Travelmarel have exceeded our expectations and please pass on my feedback to the fabulous onboard team. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia along the beautiful Mekong river on the RV Amalotus.There were lots of opportunities to read more site see on set tours or to do what one wished. We love that flexibility, as after all it’s our trip to enjoy! The onboard staff were amazing to deal with, with nothing ever being a problem. And I won’t even talk about the food as there was so much choice of excellent quality and quantity. Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip.

Our TD, Tim Thinh Dinh was brilliant. Very professional, nothing was too much trouble for him and always a simile on his face. Tim is an excellent representative for the APT / Travelmarel Brand in Vietnam and goes over and above to ensure all guests get to have an amazing journey on the ever-changing Mekong River. Hotel Manager Johnny also provided outstanding service and was well supported by an excellent and extremely professional onboard Team. Johnny's attention to detail and customer focus was a real strength. The local guides were also good. Extremely knowledgeable and great sense's of humour. We look forward to many more journeys with APT / Travelmarel. Thank you, and thanks Hannah for yet another well organised holiday.
Amazing stops in Greece/ Turkey/ Italy Mediterranean , New Zealand, Mar 2026
Booked a cruise on MSC leaving Athens port for 7 nights. Booked this through the amazing Hannah Perry of Global Journeys. Hannah booked our previous cruise and since she was great to deal with we used her services again. As always, Hannah was attentive to all our queries always quick to respond. Thank you again Hannah, and will definitely see you again read more for the next one. We travelled from NZ to Greece for the cruise. Greece itself was mind blowing. Food, culture, beautiful and warm locals who were so proud of their heritage, country, and happy to share it with us. The MSC ship was smaller than the last I was on (Royal Carribean). Some of the staff were not as welcoming or easy to deal with, maybe it was the cold-ish weather during this time of year. The buffet was not as good as previous ship, and average at best. However, the booked restaurants were a lot better.

Thankfully Hannah booked our group a table for the whole stay for dinner. The stops and excursions on the other hand exceeded our expectations. Corfu/ Izmir/ Istanbul/ Bari - wow. Great food/ history/ and views to be in awe of. Though it was cold in late March/ early April - much preferred as not overflowing with people, and got to see everything we wanted. Our holiday was spectacular. MSC Ship was pretty average, but I am bias having only been on one other ship (Royal Caribean) which was stunning. However - our holiday alone was stunninggg... great memories.
