Hawaiian Islands cruise   0 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Great experience! Was glad the gratuities were included in the booking. Great service from Hannah with speedy email replies. We would definitely book through Global Journeys again in the future.
Beautiful journey from Venice to Barcelona   1 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
NCL's itinerary from Venice (actually Trieste which is two hours by train from Venice) to Barcelona was great, with port stops every day, which may or may not be too busy for some, but hey, it's a cruise so you can do as little or as much as you want! Favourite places were Dubrovnik (don't miss the fabulous city walls walk!) and surprisingly, Civitavecchia ...read more (Rome's nearest port), which was a lovely seaside town free from hordes of cruise tourists because most of them went to Rome! The ship (Escape) was quite good compared to some we've been on (Holland America and MSC), and the entertainment was the best out of all the cruises we've done, with one West End-quality show (the raucous Choir of Man) and the others of excellent quality (musical theatre's This One's For You, magician J Alexander, and a juggler/comedian whose name escapes me) but whose budgets were clearly compromised and dwarfed by the Choir of Man's. The food quality on board fluctuated from just average (the complimentary buffet) to the superb (Moderno Churrascaria). Overall it was a very good trip and worth the money especially with all the bonuses given (150min internet, $100 per person ship credit, unlimited drinks package, etc.).
Great ports to explore     1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2024
NCL Epic is a huge ship with over 3000 passengers. Long queues and waits but overall a wonderful cruise stopping at many major ports of interest. Entertainment was ok but not great and their food was ok but not great. Staff were wonderful and the solo travellers club was a great way to meet other solo travellers.
Fantastic Holiday     5 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2024
Had a wonderful time in Hawaii, and on a cruise around the islands! Thank you Hannah Perry from Global Journeys, for organising our trip… I would definitely ask Hannah again to organise another vacation, and highly recommend Global Journeys. Thanks again.
Just Brilliant   2 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2023
Brilliant adventure for first time cruisers. The ship was amazing , the staff super friendly and helpful. Food choices were plentiful and generally the shore excursions were well planned. Only criticism was the tenders in Mykonos, not enough. We will do another cruise definitely.
