Satisfied with the services 0 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2025
I am happy with the services, from the start of the booking till the end, Tracey helped the process - she also always replies too my emails quickly and is very informative. Highly recommended.
Luxury fjord cruising with great coffee 0 , WA, Australia, Sep 2025
We enjoyed the dance classes (one of many activities on the boat) and the breakfast was just as good as we make ourselves at home. The staff at dinner were very attentive. The gym was great (we didn't get there as often as we had planned, too many things happening. The after dinner shows were almost all awesome - only one of average quality.
The read more cruise of fjords was the highlight for us - the reason we took this trip. Having said that, the stops in Stavanger and Oslo were both excellent experiences too.
Extremely enjoyable ocean cruise. 0 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
I was happy with everything. I would use MSC Cruise Lines and Global Journeys again. My travel agent for this trip was Sam Harris and I was extremely satisfied with his service. However, Hannah took over my booking when Sam left and was helpful to me.
