Awesome first cruising experience to the Greek Isles   3 , Auckland, New Zealand, May 2023
Itinerary, ship, crew and weather were awesome! We came back hooked! We found it easy to deal with Global Journeys as the process was very user friendly and well structured. As it was our first cruise we didn't understand all the ins and outs about cruising, but Toni was always ready to explain or give advice. We'll gladly do business with Global Journeys read more again. Keep up the good work!
