APT expedition cruise Northern Europe 0
Iceland, Faroe Islands and Scotland
Lorraine and Aileen , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
Would certainly book with Global Journeys again, as Hannah Perry, our travel consultant was always prompt in responding to any queries or concerns, gave us a very good price for our luxury cruise & also had us upgraded to a higher deck on ship, Seabourn Venture. Can’t recommend her enough! As for cruise itself, we are probably not as enthusiastic even read more though ship was luxurious, with exquisite food, beautifully presented & staff were excellent, as we found it difficult to relax. You always had to be at lecture or on excursion! While majority of shore excursions were well organised & interesting, there were definitely others that were tiring & involved much effort to get from ship to shore for little purpose - (Brock!) Last day was especially exhausting with morning activity & long afternoon bus trip, when majority of passengers needed to organise luggage to depart ship early next morning.
A lovely cruise with luxury anyone would enjoy. 4
Magnificent Europe
Jan and Glenn, NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
We were welcomed onboard to this beautiful river ship by a lovely gentleman who escorted us to our suite straight away. He explained how everything worked, and wished us a great cruise experience. We found every staff member couldn't do enough for us every single time, whether a simple question or any aspect of a meal, or drink, or our room. We found read more our beds and pillows, the room setup, the bathroom all excellent. The meals were exceptional every single time. The different dining experiences were excellent. We felt like VIPs at every turn.
We enjoyed the company of many fellow passengers through the 2 weeks. The entertainment, the excursions, the organisation by the cruise director was all excellent. Even the local guides were extremely good. We were fortunate to have great weather throughout the cruise, and at times just enjoyed the facilities of our ship to escape the heat, and watch the countryside drift by from our room or from any of the view points onboard. A truly wonderful trip of a lifetime.
This trip was made very easy to organise with the help of our Global Journeys Travel Advisor Rachael. Thank you Rachael, we had an amazing time.

What an amazing holiday, adventure experience we had. It was a last minute decision and it was a first time booking with Global Journeys and APT. Professionalism from beginning to end, my dietary requirements were never a problem and I had fantastic meals. The outback gorges, landscape, travel comfort, ,cuisine, wilderness lodges, wildlife and swimming read more experiences were top class. Our guides Hilary and Simon were fantastic, we were in very capable hands and their knowledge and passion just shines. All in all extremely happy and we had a great group of travelling companions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our first river cruise. We were looked after from the moment we got to the dock in Porto. The itinerary was balanced between tours and free time to soak up river life and enjoy the calm. The dams and locks along the river were also very interesting. The food on board was 5 star and the choice was amazing. It was hard to resist read more sometimes but necessary so that you could pace yourself. We met some lovely people who we will keep in touch with. Overall a wonderful 9 days. Thank you.
Beautiful Kimberley, Pilbara & Coast 0
West Coast Explorer
Leanne and Tony, QLD, Australia, May 2025
Adventure holiday without the stress of driving long distances or worrying about meals. Opportunity to meet people who also appreciate the unique geography of WA.
The trip was above our expectations. APT were superb. The Bungle Bungles are a wonder of the World. Thank you Maisie for your contribution.
A wonderful experience, particularly seeing the Lake from the air as it started to fill following the Queensland floods. Our driver/guide, Kym, was very knowledgeable and professional. The local bush pilots are great and very informative. Some of the outback accommodation is challenging but that factor is well compensated by the local hospitality. read more Wilpena Pound flight is a must. Some long days on the road, but that's to be expected as we covered over 2,000 kms in a few days.
Japan Botanica Cruise 3
Spring Gardens, Culture and History of Japan & South Korea by Small Ship
Paul and Catherine, QLD, Australia, Apr 2025
This was a great experience and provided a comprehensive tour of major Japanese gardens with genial and knowledgeable guides and tour leaders. The ship was excellently appointed and meals were consistently good, and more than adequate in quantity. Hotel accommodation was good in Kyoto but the property in Tokyo was due for a refresh. The itinerary was read more quite full and some activities may have challenged people of less than moderate fitness. There were several traditional Japanese meals, which provided an interesting introduction to the cuisine, despite not being to everyone’s taste.
This is the 2nd time we have used Hannah at Global Journeys for a travel booking and it won’t be our last. She is responsive, efficient and very easy to deal with. Same with APT. Luxury accomodation, great food and free flowing drink. 72 people on the Mekong Serenity with 42 staff. All tours are included but do sometimes repeat themselves. Not a trip read more if you are looking to lie in your cabin or by the pool all day as it has tours booked everyday. You can however choose to skip any or all of them. We have booked another APT adventure next year.
We were blessed with fine and mild weather - so November is a good month to visit Tasmania, in general. With only seven days to fit in so much, APT selected the best of a range of activities. My personal likes was the Gordon River/Macquarie Harbour Cruise and of course two nights stay at Cradle Mountain (Resort) - authentic Tassie. To combine this with read more the eight day East Coast tour gives you an excellent overview of what this Island has to offer visitors.
Cruising down the Rhine with APT on the AmaVenita last month, cannot praise the Staff and Crew on their professionalism to make everything a very smooth sailing experience.
Excellent tour of Vietnam, Cambodia and cruise along the Mekong River 1
Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights
Jacky and Ron, NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Our holiday cruising the Mekong River for a week and staying in Ho Chi Minh and Cambodia was excellent. Global Journeys were so easy to work with and arranged everything for us prior to the trip and APT ensured the trip was seamless. The ship was exceptional with only 81 people on board and staff could not do enough for you. Food and all drinks were read more included and were plentiful and delicious. The hotel in Vietnam and Cambodia were outstanding and close at all attractions. We met some lovely fellow travellers and fell in love with Cambodia. We would recommend this trip, Global Journeys and APT as this was a trip of a lifetime which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Wonderful experience on APT tour to Cambodia 1
Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights
Scott and Gail, Qld, Australia, Sep 2024
The highlight of this Vietnam and Cambodia adventure was traveling the untamed Mekong River, and visiting local friendly people in the villages on the banks of the river system. Thank you to Global Journeys and APT delivering again an exceptional experience we will fondly remember.
Cape York - The Tip - Thursday Island 2
Cooktown and Cape York
Des & Jeanette Patfield , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Another exceptional holiday with APT. Our tour guide Sonia & driver Thommo were excellent with great attention to detail and communication. Accommodation was generally excellent along with food no matter where we were. All fellow companions interacted well with each other especially with help and support thru some unforgiving terrain. "A Very Highly read more Recommend Trip" of a lifetime.
Wonderful tour leaders Linda and Tony took us in a 4 wheel drive van- small group - in an amazing trip from Adelaide to Darwin, over 2 weeks. Felt safe and cared for. Very informative. Great walks and obtained excellent photos. Flights were spectacular. Saw so much and made great new friends. A lot of fun. Early starts and long hours travelling some read more days but lots of stops, cups of tea and snacks in the bush. Great accommodation and fabulous food. Highly recommend if you love an adventure.
Global Journeys - Perfect as Usual 0
Annette and Bruce, SA, Australia, Aug 2024
Georgie and the team at Global Journeys once again have surprised our expectations and looked after us and our bookings very well. We travelled with APT Istanbul to Rome on L'Austral. If considering this type of cruise with APT, please be very aware of what you are booking. These cruises are not in any way similar to APT's fantastic river cruises. If read more you are mobility limited in any way, please reconsider this type of cruise as there is a significant amount of walking involved, just to get to your daily tour options. We look to booking our future holidays with Global Journeys.
Great river cruise Budapest to Amsterdam 0
Magnificent Europe
Margaret and Roger, ACT, Australia, Aug 2024
We were very glad to have had the opportunity to do this cruise. The staff on the ship were outstanding. Great itinerary, excellent food. We rated APT at mostly 9 and 10 in their assessment form. Our only suggestion was for an option to receive the daily program sheets as pdf a attachment to an email. We photographed them anyway for travel diary purposes.
Hannah once again organised a fantastic holiday for us to enjoy. We chose to book with APT and were not disappointed. Hannah's superb pre-holiday prep and APTs wonderfully organised journey ensured we will be booking again with both! Thanks Hannah and APT!!
Being the only foreigner travelling with this lovely group I cannot praise enough the courtesy among the group members / fellow travellers. Thanks to Eleanor ( Elli) our super competent and super friendly driver/ guide/ savior.... It was simply a great pleasure to cover this enormous stretch of Aussieland.
A well organised adventure. Good mix of people that mixed well. Tash and Grant, guide and driver, organised and good communicators. Accommodation comfortable, clean and special in Cairns and Port Douglas. Food good no matter where we were.
Travelling days were planned so not too long, with highlights each day. Helicopter trip over “the tip” gave read more a wonderful overview of the top of Australia, followed by ferry trips to Thursday and Horn Islands. Cultural Show on Thursday Island and discussion with organiser after offered an insight into efforts being made with the youth to carry on the culture. APT a comfortable and informative way to visit a part of Australia usually only available to “ road warriors”.
