Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their cruise journeys around Australia

Accessible Stateroom   , SA, Australia, Mar 2025
The Crown Princess is a large Ship with 3,080 passengers. Because of my need to use a mobility scooter, it was mandatory to have an Accessible Stateroom. These Staterooms are so much larger; the bathroom is large with a large walking shower and plenty of grab rails to hold for safety. The ship is easy to get around on these small traveling scooters. ...read more The food was first class in both the Dining Room and the Horizoncourt. The crew is always very good and attentive to all your needs. The show was very enjoyable and had a full audience every night. A beautiful ship for a very enjoyable cruise.
Queen Elizabeth cruise Sydney to Singapore   , QLD, Australia, Feb 2025
First class accommodation in Princess Grill and dining options very good. Entertainment was superb and we visited the theatre every night.
Amazing Experience     , New Zealand, Feb 2025
Virgin Cruisers here. From the outset - from searching for the appropriate cruise/ assistance all the way - Hannah Perry at Global Journeys was amazing to deal with. There was potentially a group of 25 which reduced to 16 - Hannah assisted each and every one of us. All I needed to do was to refer all family to Hannah. Everyone came back with the same ...read more compliments - so attentive/ easy to deal with - so quick to respond. Then we go onto the cruise - Quantum of the Seas - Brizzy to Airlie Beach - 4 nights. Just perfect amount of time for us. We all had the best time. The whole family enjoyed it and great memories were made. Will definitely do it again over the next couple of years - and will be looking for Royal Carribean as so many regular cruisers complimented this was their favourite ship. Thank you Hannah and the team and thank you Royal Carribean - we couldnt have asked for a better experience.
Sad to see Queen Elizabeth Cruise ship leaving Australia.   , SA, Australia, Dec 2024
Cunard is to leave Australia and is not returning. We have enjoyed our cruises on this wonderful ship, so many areas to visit, morning coffee in the Commodor Club, breakfast, lunch, evening meals all fine dining each day, not to mention the afternoon tradition of afternoon tea. Our stateroom was always very clean and bathroom clean and shiny. We always ...read more choose the Main Dining room for meals rather than the casual dining in the Lido. Evening shows with high class entertainment, fabulous costumes. Staff at every level are fantastic.
