Princess cruises in the Mediterranean are great. 0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
A great way to see the beautiful sights in the Mediterranean....one of the highlights of the trip was going to Malta, seeing the deep Ink blue water, viewing the Blue Grotto from a small boat and swimming in the ocean. Also loved Barcelona and with amazing architecture and stunning gardens. The weather was warm late June, early July, although not read more humid so was manageable. Global Journeys offer great service and we have already booked another holiday with them and will keep using them as their website is so easy to navigate. Thank you Hannah C for all of your help.

Fabulous Greece and Turkey 0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
Our first time to Greece and Turkey and all the excursions booked with Princess were amazing. We enjoyed an aft facing cabin, really comfy bed, good entertainment onboard and always something to do, or not do if you wanted time to relax on your verandah or just have a rest. Princess offer something for everyone and we would sail with them again. Global read more Journeys make the booking experience easy and we recommend Global Journey, plus have already booked other holidays through them.
Wonderful Adriatic Cruise 1 , NSW, Australia, May 2025
11 day Princess cruise from Trieste to Athens highly recommended, would have liked longer. Enjoyed the fine dining experience, entertainment and our shore excursions. Interesting ports of call and loved the colour of the waters in the Adriatic. Beautiful weather in May, sunny and mild plus not too crowded. Have already booked next holiday with Global Journeys.
Great cruise to Fiji & South Pacific 0 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2024
Very enjoyable cruise … the Islands were fun and locals very friendly. Again, great experience with Global Journeys and thank you to Hannah C.
Another wonderful holiday: Cruise to NZ 4 , ACT, Australia, Nov 2023
Had a very enjoyable fortnight cruising from Sydney to New Zealand and back on the The Majestic Princess. Everything from the stateroom and the food comfortably exceeded our expectations, and staff were uniformly friendly, efficient and attentive. Good, varied itinerary, with the NZ Fiords a particular highlight. As always, Global Journeys did a read more flawlessly efficient job of organising things. :)
Hawaii, Tahiti Pacific crossing   6 , New Zealand, Apr 2023
Thank you Tracey for all your assistance and patience with us in organizing this cruise. Moorea island is so beautiful, exquisite scenery. Kona Island was enjoyable, easy to get around and a restful place to holiday. Majestic Princess is a beautiful ship with lots of entertainment, lovely food, great staff. Highly recommended.
Australia Getaway 4 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2022
The Majestic Princess is a beautiful ship. We had a delightful, if not short voyage from Auckland to Sydney. Highest swell was 1 metre and the ships stabilisers made that almost un-noticeable. The Medallion App worked very well once I got it set up. Drinks were about half the price I expected. Great service on board. Some delays in getting on and off the ship.
