Beautiful Croatia 0

As a first time Azamara guest we were absolutely thrilled with our cruise content and the itinerary provided by Azamara. The staff and service was outstanding and we wouldn’t hesitate to do another Azamara cruise.
13 Best Of The Mediterranean Voyage with Azamara & Global Journeys 2
Craig & Jill, QLD, Australia, Sep 2025
First ever cruise for me and booked with some apprehension. However, with the very professional guidance from Georgie at Global Journeys in helping to select Azamara Outbound as our choice for what was hoped to be an adventure of a lifetime, everything was beyond expectations. For anyone 50 plus, considering a cruise where you don't want a huge ship, read more and can meet some very lovely fellow travellers, Azamara comes out with top ratings for me. Super cabin, super service, no onboard extras and plenty of help if you feel overwhelmed. Ignoring advice from Global Journeys, we booked sights at every stop. Not a good idea as it can be exhausting! Take time to relax & enjoy all that Azamara has to offer, and listen to those who have loads of experience when it comes to cruising. The Med is a long way from home, but the 13 day Best Of The Mediterranean Voyage with Azamara & Global Journeys was worth every dollar.
10 Action packed days on Dalmatian and Amalfi Coast 1
Don and Judi, WA, Australia, Aug 2025
We have booked with Global Journeys before and will again, the service is great. Would highly recommend Azamara Dalmatian & Amalfi Coast cruise, the smaller ships are great, they can get into ports larger ships can't. With a maximum of 700 passengers you can get off for excursions quickly, as the staff are well organised and efficient. There is a great read more range of food available, whether you choose the dinning room or the casual buffet.
I now love Croatia 1
Kaz, QLD, Australia, Aug 2025
Venturing on my 6th Azamara cruise to Croatia was a fantastic experience. Every port had their own endearing qualities and I can’t wait to go back someday. Tracey Standing was invaluable with her suggestions on the things in each port not to be missed. I cannot recommend her enough.
Highly recommend Azamara Norway Intensive Voyage 0
Don and Judi, WA, Australia, Jul 2025
Hannah from Global Journeys was great to deal with, and made the quotes and booking easy. Azamara are great to travel with the smaller ships can get into ports larger ships can't. Getting off for excursions doesn't take long, with a maximum of 700 guests, plus the crew are very organised and efficient. There is a huge choice of food available on the read more ship to suit all tastes. You can dine in the dinning room or at the Buffet, the food is excellent in both locations. Norway is breathtakingly beautiful, we are so glad we chose this trip, there was still snow on the mountains in late summer, but we were only in T Shirts as the weather was warm and fine. Being above the Arctic Circle for 5 days was great, we hadn't been to North Cape before.
Fantastic cruise 0
Kaz, QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
This was my 5th cruise with Azamara and it lived up to my expectations. From the crew to the ports visited it was all I could wish for. Tracey Standing is an outstanding travel agent ensuring everything was in place and ran smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced travel agent.
Azamara Mediterranean Cruise 0
Gail and Helen, NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
A lovely cruise, beautiful locations. Azamara seems to be trying to paint themselves as a luxury cruise and whilst good, they are not quite there. Cruise is very reasonably priced but travellers need to be aware that excursions, special dining etc are extra. Our cabin was quite small, especially the shower but the service was excellent. Considerable read more variety of food available, staff prepared to accommodate food intolerances. Excellent service in restaurants. Onboard credits available for most, especially frequent customers.
The cruise comprised eight Spanish port calls, one British, one Portuguese and one French during the 14 nights on board. There were many highlights but we would single out the two full days in Seville as the most enjoyable because it gave us the opportunity to explore the city at our own pace. In addition the call in Seville features a 6 hour daytime read more criuse up & down the Quadalquivir River with the ship being towed backwards for the last kilometre into the city. Seville has some magnificent architecture including the Cathedral & Tower,the Alcazar & Palace of Kings, the Plaza d'Espana and the Setas (world's largest wooden structure) - all within walking distance of the ship. Bourdeaux also produced a couple of gems - the Wine Museum and the Bassins des Lumieres (a German WW2 submarine base converted into a visual arts theatre). The only disappointment was the short stop in Lisbon when there was so much to see. We thought that an extra day in Lisbon and one less Spanish port would have been a better balance. Everything on board the Azamara Quest met expectations - good food, service, entertainment and port talks. And Global Journeys, as usual, did a good job throughout the booking process. An enjoyable cruise.
First the cruise - this is a well crafted selection of coastal Croatia and a small piece of Montenegro at Kotor, bookended by Venice. The Azamara Quest is an ideal selection for the journey with a very good ratio of passengers to crew (2:1). The crew is very helpful and attentive especially in the restaurants. The food is very good and there is a variety read more of restaurants and casual cafes from which to choose. Two restaurants are available if you wish to pay extra specialising in Italian food and steak.
The verandah stateroom plus is a very good option and is serviced daily by a valet, ours was very obliging and left a small sweet treat every evening. Shore excursions are expensive but well run. Try the Tuk Tuk options for local tours and other options is you want to take longer trips to inland areas, islands or nearby towns etc. Chioggia is difficult to get to by private transfer. There is a local bus service from Venice for about €6-7 and takes about an hour. However you still have to get to the embarkation point from the town - you cannot rely on taxis as there are only 4 in the town. The only option is travel from Venice or the airport with pre arranged transfer on embarkation and disembarkation. This is expensive and seems designed for those Northern Hemisphere clients.
If people want to position themselves the day before the cruise starts, spend overnight in Venice or the airport for transfer the following day. As there were only a few of us not using the Azamara transfers, the company didn’t seem interested in helping. Our plans were upset a bit because the bus we planned to get to Padua on May 1 wasn’t running because of a public holiday! Thankfully the other bus company got us back to Venice where caught the train to Venice. A message to Azamara to be a bit more client focussed would help us southerners! Overall it was a great experience which we would recommend and as all the Azamara ships are the same, we’d certainly consider them if we were to cruise again, e.g around Japan

Ron and I went off on the azamara in the Caribbean to tick off another item on our bucket list. The cruise didn’t disappoint. Loved to places we went and the boat and staff excellent. Only criticism is smoking on the boat right near the pool bar 😝 Thanks Georgie for everything ❤️
Azamara is the way to go! 2
Julie and Richard, VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
Small ocean cruising is the way to go- only 600+ on board. The Azamara pursuit was perfect for the Croatian intensive cruise. Food was great, service amazing and a funny tour Director and ship captain. Shore excursions vary from strenuous to mild.
Perfect cruise around Iceland with Azamara Onward. Everything was perfect. The ship was a perfect size to negotiate the fjords and tricky harbours safely. The itinerary around Iceland featured key and high value ports. Highly recommend.
Would you travel with this Azamara again - Yes, it was excellent. Book online with Global Journeys again? Yes. What about tips for future travellers? Summer in Europe can be VERY hot (it was particularly so in Athens) coastal regions are good, and onboard ship was pleasant. What was the quality of the accommodation like? The Azamara Pursuit has excellent read more accommodation. Our stateroom was perfect, and the attendant was very attentive. Was it a good time of year to travel? Not particularly so in the towns we stopped at. The heat was sometimes overwhelming. What were your fellow travellers like - were they a good mix and did you get along? A very diverse mix; but we soon found people who we often ate with or went on to the day trips with.
A Good Introduction to Asia 4
Patricia, SA, Australia, Apr 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Azamara Journey. The staff and food were excellent. We stopped at a couple of ports in Japan and then visited Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore. We went on shore excursions at most ports, some through the cruise line, others we arranged privately, which we preferred as the groups were much smaller and we had read more a more personal experience. Our favourite place was Da Nang in Vietnam. Global Journeys made the booking simple, helped when we had issues with the Azamara web site, and as usual got us a very good deal. Thank you.
An interesting way to travel home from Japan. 0

An interesting cruise from Tokyo to Singapore. We visited many ports that we otherwise would never have visited. Unfortunately the weather during our trip was extremely wet which limited our enjoyment a little.
Excellent itinerary 8
Dave and Marilyn, VIC, Australia, Sep 2023
We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary visiting the various islands of the Mediterranean we hadn’t been to before. We enjoyed the open seating in the main restaurant and the food was excellent. Our cabin was good although the shower cubicle was very small.
Wonderful Croatian adventure 12
Patricia, SA, Australia, Jul 2023
This Azamara cruise was perfect for us. Plentiful good food and wine, very attentive service from all the crew and well organized interesting excursions. The highlights of the cruise for me were Dubrovnik and Montenegro. The only downside was the standard of entertainment, but I wouldn't hesitate to travel with Azamara again.
Wonderful Croatian cruise. 0
Patricia, SA, Australia, Jul 2023
The cruise with Azamara was perfect for us. Plenty of time in port to enjoy the beautiful Croatian coast and we went on some amazing excursions from the ship. I will definitely choose Azamara for our future cruises.
