Bucket list cruise     0 , Qld, Australia, Nov 2024
Ron and I went off on the azamara in the Caribbean to tick off another item on our bucket list. The cruise didn’t disappoint. Loved to places we went and the boat and staff excellent. Only criticism is smoking on the boat right near the pool bar 😝 Thanks Georgie for everything ❤️
Azamara is the way to go!   0 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
Small ocean cruising is the way to go- only 600+ on board. The Azamara pursuit was perfect for the Croatian intensive cruise. Food was great, service amazing and a funny tour Director and ship captain. Shore excursions vary from strenuous to mild.
Land of fire and ice     1 , WA, Australia, Jul 2024
Perfect cruise around Iceland with Azamara Onward. Everything was perfect. The ship was a perfect size to negotiate the fjords and tricky harbours safely. The itinerary around Iceland featured key and high value ports. Highly recommend.
Amazing cruise along Dalmantian Coast     1 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2024
Would you travel with this Azamara again - Yes, it was excellent. Book online with Global Journeys again? Yes. What about tips for future travellers? Summer in Europe can be VERY hot (it was particularly so in Athens) coastal regions are good, and onboard ship was pleasant. What was the quality of the accommodation like? The Azamara Pursuit has excellent ...read more accommodation. Our stateroom was perfect, and the attendant was very attentive. Was it a good time of year to travel? Not particularly so in the towns we stopped at. The heat was sometimes overwhelming. What were your fellow travellers like - were they a good mix and did you get along? A very diverse mix; but we soon found people who we often ate with or went on to the day trips with.
A Good Introduction to Asia   1 , SA, Australia, Apr 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Azamara Journey. The staff and food were excellent. We stopped at a couple of ports in Japan and then visited Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore. We went on shore excursions at most ports, some through the cruise line, others we arranged privately, which we preferred as the groups were much smaller and we had ...read more a more personal experience. Our favourite place was Da Nang in Vietnam. Global Journeys made the booking simple, helped when we had issues with the Azamara web site, and as usual got us a very good deal. Thank you.
Excellent itinerary   8 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2023
We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary visiting the various islands of the Mediterranean we hadn’t been to before. We enjoyed the open seating in the main restaurant and the food was excellent. Our cabin was good although the shower cubicle was very small.
Wonderful Croatian adventure   9 , SA, Australia, Jul 2023
This Azamara cruise was perfect for us. Plentiful good food and wine, very attentive service from all the crew and well organized interesting excursions. The highlights of the cruise for me were Dubrovnik and Montenegro. The only downside was the standard of entertainment, but I wouldn't hesitate to travel with Azamara again.
