Enchanting Rockies and Alaska Cruise   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
Our tour of The Rockies and Alaska was Amazing. After contacting, the warm, friendly and efficient,Tracey Standing at Global Journeys, we were delighted at the smooth process of booking, and the many questions that were answered.
I have a few health issues and was quite nervous at such a big trip. I shouldn’t have worried. Tracey took care of our ...read more booking and flights with added wheel chair access if needed and all dietary requirements.

Together with TravelmMarvel and their outstanding Staff in Canada we had the most incredible time. Shay our tour guide and Paul our driver looked after everyone with such kindness. Their knowledge of the Rockies, especially Shays, is also invaluable to travellers from afar. The Alaskan cruise was breathtakeing and a must do for everyone travelling these parts of Canada.

Virginia and Corrine from Travelmarvel joined us on Holland America. Any questions or issues, they addressed with a courteous smile and friendliness. We also met some new friends which made this trip even more special. I would recommend… Global Journeys and Travelmarvel to anyone wanting high standard hotels, and although busy, a faultless schedule. Happy Travelling.
2025 River Cruise   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
Travelmarvel’s Amsterdam to Budapest was excellent. The ships were very well presented, cabins had good facilities, staff were very friendly and provided great service, quality meals and the tour director on our cruise ( Roland) was excellent. He provided great communications on each days activities, suggestions on extra things to do and was exceptionally ...read more approachable for all passengers. Overall this cruise was great value for money. We couldn’t fault any aspect of the cruise, the staff or the service.
Amazing River Cruise   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our river cruise along the Danube from Amsterdam to Budapest. The cabin was perfect, we met lots of new friends, drank and ate too much - fabulous ship entertainment with Julie and Andy. The weather in May was perfect-not too hot for sightseeing. The crew were excellent and we would definitely travel with Travelmarvel again.
Highlights of Eastern and Western Canada   0 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
This trip was awesome - great tour directors. Wonderful sights. This was a trip of a life time and would gladly recommend it to anybody.
Well worth it!   0 , WA, Australia, Apr 2025
This was a perfect holiday and an amazing way to experience Canada and Alaska. Booking with Tracey at Global Journeys was again very easy and seamless, and the Travelmarvel tour team were also superb. Jill (TD) and Bernie (coach driver) were faultless. We had a brand new coach, which was very comfortable with unlimited wifi. Stephanie, cruise TD, was ...read more very helpful and available daily. Highly recommended!
Danube River Cruise Delights     0 , NSW, Australia, Apr 2025
The Danube River 8-day cruise through Hungary, Slovakia, Austria & Germany was a highlight of our overseas holiday. From the wonderful array of food available at breakfast, lunch & dinner to the friendly staff onboard the Capella, we had a simply marvellous trip. Every morning, we would look out the window at a different view, sometimes at one of the ...read more incredible lochs the ship travels through on its way up the river. At other times, it was the peaceful view of the river bank with locals sitting there or enjoying a spot of fishing. The weather was mostly sunny and warm, which made relaxation even more enjoyable. Each excursion to the towns or villages along the Danube was an opportunity to immerse yourself in the area's rich history and be fascinated by it. The other passengers were friendly, and we all were kept as busy or as relaxed as we liked. Our cabin was constantly attended to by staff. Nothing was too much to ask for. The entertainers were very good at their job, making us feel welcome and involved. Our travel agent, Maisie, was very helpful and accommodating, even giving us an upgrade to a French balcony suite a week before we left. This was money very well spent. Thank you to everyone who made our 30th wedding anniversary trip so memorable.
Great Japan tour   0 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
Thank you Georgie for arranging such a great trip. On my first visit to Japan and it will certainly not be my last. Travelmarvel as usual organised a great itinerary with good hotels, good food and and amazing tour directors. The cruise was also great.
Tasmanian 10 Day Tour   1 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Tasmania with TravelMarvel. It was a hassle free experience thanks in no small part to Maisie at Global Journeys. She was the best travel agent we have ever experienced, looking after everything down to the finest detail.
Beautiful country and lovely people …   0 , WA, Australia, Feb 2025
The rugged country of the South Island is spectacular and sailing on Milford Sound was truly wonderful. Fiordland was a highlight and the TransAlpine Train journey was magnificent. The North Island offered a different experience, and was more focussed on the culture of the Māori people. We really enjoyed learning about that. We were able to tick ...read more off three of our bucket list items: the Southern Alps, Waitomo Caves and a sensational geyser at Te Puia. But no Kiwi 😔 anywhere. Be prepared for long days in the coach but you’ll find the scenery makes it worthwhile. Booking with Hannah at Global Journeys is always a hassle-free and enjoyable experience, she never lets us down.
Lovely Tasmania   0 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2025
The whole trip was excellent, the guide was great, coach clean and driver great as well. I would recommend this trip to anyone as a must do.
Budapest to Amsterdam   1 , VIC, Australia, Dec 2024
This was our first river cruise and will definitely not be the last . Travel Marvel was exceptional prior to our trip keeping us informed about any changes and were very informative about any queries we had . The trip was next level in every aspect from the crew to the rooms to the dining experiences. Plenty of excursions and experiences to keep you ...read more constantly occupied. Will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing a river cruise. All aspects of our time on the cruise was at 5 star rating,absolutely brilliant.
European Gems - Paris to Budapest   0 , QLD, Australia, Nov 2024
I could not recommend this cruise enough. The staff were amazing with nothing we asked was too much for them to handle. they were professional, courteous and spoke excellent English meaning nothing got lost in translation. All guides and tours were professionally managed and went into details about the towns and site we passed by. This is definetly ...read more a trip I would do again.
European Gems - Budapest to Amsterdam   2 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2024
An enjoyable river cruise with everything run well except for how the problems with the boat propella were mismanaged . This ongoing problem impacted on the mid cruise stops in particular we missed seeing Numerburg a high value tour and we sailed almost all the Rhine Valley in darkness.
Fantastic Mekong Cruise     3 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
This was a wonderful 12 night trip from Saigon along the Mekong and ending with the marvels of Siem Reap. Travelmarvel were highly organised and the tour leader and individual guides were exceptional. Accommodations and meals were of the highest standard. Highlights included the Cu Chi tunnels, village and market visits (especially the wet market in ...read more Sa Dec) and of cause the splendour of Angkor Wat. Highlights on every day. Good mix of fellow passengers from Australia, NZ and UK. Could not recommend Travelmarvel more highly.
Amsterdam to Budapest Travelmarvel River Cruise   4 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2024
The trip in total was 7 weeks, with the first 4 and the final week organised independently by my wife and myself. The 15 day Travelmarvel cruise was a great way to relax after 4 weeks of independent travel. We could unpack both suitcases and put everything away in drawers, and get our clothes laundered. I'll summarise my feedback for future travelers:

1. ...read more We travelled Amsterdam to Budapest and I would definitely recommend this direction rather than the reverse. The reasons include the first day or 2 are more grass bank views before the beautiful castles and towns appear, and you also get the mind-blowing view of Budapest at the end of the trip.
2. Take a few days in Amsterdam at the beginning and a few days at Budapest at the end as these are brilliant cities. Be sure to book Anne Frank House in Amsterdam 6 weeks before you arrive (as we did) as it will definitely sell out and every other passenger missed out.
3. Flights were included in the cost, but we paid for a Business class upgrade that was good value and worth every cent.
4. Travelmarvel caters for both independent travellers, and well as those who wish to pay for the extra day trips. We liked this option as well could often "do our own thing" on land and that suited us.
5. The meals on board were great.
6. Drinks at lunch and dinner are included, and we found that refills were regular and plentiful and more than enough for us. You could even get the glass filled before 9pm closure and take it upstairs to the lounge.
7. Rooms are great and second and third floor of the Polaris had large windows that could be lowered for a great view.

Global Journeys were very communicative and our agent Rachael McSorley was excellent in answering all questions and providing all information. Well done Rachael.
Wonderful Mekong River cruise   1 , WA, Australia, Sep 2024
We had a great trip. The tour was very well organised. Great food, staff and tour guides were excellent. Cruising the Mekong was amazing would recommend to anyone. Stayed 3 nights in Hotel Ho Chi Minh city before cruise and 3 nights after in Siem reap. Both hotels were excellent and in great locations.
Fantastic     0 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Very friendly thoughtful professional and welcoming crew from the tour director to the cabin staff. Our room was perfect. The food was amazing (the soup could be improved) and the dining room and bar excellent. All tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful although the audio did not always work. An unforgettable experience. Loved it!
Great trip to Western Australia with Travelmarvel and Global Journeys   0 , ACT, Australia, Sep 2024
Just back from Travelmarvel Wonders of the Southwest. As always, Georgie and the Global Journeys team were a delight to work with and arranged everything flawlessly. The tour itself was fantastic with a huge variety of beautiful, fascinating and unique places to see. A beach made entirely of shells (no sand!), a hot pink lake, dugongs and a dolphin ...read more using a sponge as a tool (!), trees you could stand up inside and a riot of wildflowers with tiny delicate orchids hidden amongst them. There was a lot of driving, but the coach was modern, spacious and comfortable, the driver was excellent and the roads much better than you would expect in such remote places. The tour guide was top shelf as well. Loved it!
Retirement Trip with Travel Marvel     0 , WA, Australia, Sep 2024
Thank you Hannah for being such a great agent from start to finish - nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciate our positive Global Journeys experience! We really enjoyed our Travel Marvel Eastern Europe extension and Budapest to Amsterdam cruise. Sadly the weather on the cruise was not great so never really got to experience fully the top ...read more deck! Our cruise director Hedleigh was great and an organisational wizard! Our only hesitation to do another was perhaps it was a bit too regimented for us - kind of a bit ground hog day with the food on board (which was great but not a lot of change from day to day) and similarity of the organised tours in each place with some tour guides excellent but others not great! Highlights for me - the concert in Vienna - don’t miss it - and I really enjoyed the various ‘bergs’ and the home visit in Miltenberg! Some of the German towns were lovely and we met some great people on the tour! Overall this was a great holiday - the river ships are really nicely done - French balcony cabin great and staff on board friendly!
Rivers of Great memories   1 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
Our river cruise was excellent and met our expectations. The ship was clean & well maintained and the staff were excellent. The food was of very good quality with quite a good choice on the menu, and we even had lamb shanks for dinner one night. Definitely not expected but thoroughly delicious. We have no hesitations in recommending Travel Marvel & ...read more Global Journeys.
