Trip Reviews (10)
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.
We had so many favourite things , a highlight was standing on the glacier drinking Maple Whiskey, sunset over the Whistler Mountains (extra tour booked) and spending time around the town of Banff. Our Alaskan cruise was the highlight of the holiday for us. The Holland American line ship was certainly value for money. The ships facilities, meals, service and staff were fantastic and our cabin was clean and comfortable. We had a lower cost room that was more than adequate as such little time is spent in your room. The ports of call were all very interesting and you could spend extra on activities or just explore the area with the Travel Marvel Cruise host who made our trip really enjoyable and her advice allowed us to get everything we could out of day excursions.
We choose extra activities at our ports of call and would highly recommend the Helicopter/dog sledding trip (worth every dollar), White pass train trip which had exceptional views and zip lining for a bit of fun. Another favourite experience was Glacier Bay where the ship went so close to the Glaciers you could hear the rumble of the ice as it cracked and fell into the ocean. If you can afford the extra we would suggest upgrade to Premium economy on the fights as we will do next time as we had lots of family's with upset children on both flights. Thank you to Yvonne and Georgina at Global Journeys who looked after us again.
I would also thank Yvonne from Global Journeys for all her help with my bookings. She is also a lovely person to deal with. There were a few extra excursions ( flyover the Rockies in helicopter) we missed out on because of the weather but having fresh snow fall made up for any disappointment. Also our fellow passengers were a wonderful and friendly group. Our cruise was also fantastic. Thank you.
