Amazing trip 0 , QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
Can highly recommend the Antarctic Triumph trip with Oceania Cruises. Excellent itenerary, amazing scenery and excursions and wonderful food and accommodation aboard the ship.
The highlight of the cruise Palms to Andean Peaks 0 , VIC, Australia, Nov 2025
We have been with Oceania many times, so we know what to expect. The meals are excellent, particularly like the Aquamar Kitchen's healthy food and drinks. The other specialty restaurants are an indulgence, superb dining. I have gained 4 kgs, my husband 3 kgs. We had a Concierge cabin but it is no different from the Verandah cabin. The Concierge Lounge read more is really nothing to speak of. May be there is no need to spend the extra money. The highlight no doubt is the crossing of the Panama Canal. It was a bucket list experience. A speaker who has lots of experience with the Canal Authority guided us in his talk through the passage. A few places in the ship needs updating.
Standout Company 1 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2025
We are a widely-travelled senior couple who have now found the best travel agent by far. No matter what your criteria are for judging a travel agent, Global Journeys gets top marks. Professionalism from first contact, knowledge of the market, communicational, exceptional. ALong with the ability to deal with cruise/other companies, awareness of best read more deals, and ability to get them reliabily plus their follow-up.

Our consultant, Tracey Standing, was exceptional on all counts - especially her prompt, clear, professional and helpful communication. Recently, through her negotiations on our behalf with a major cruise company, not only did we have a trouble-free and relaxing cruise, but we finished up with more On-Board credits that we struggled to use them!! Thanks Tracey. For our (hopefully!!) next OS venture we will certainly have Global Journeys as Stop Number One !!
