We really enjoyed our ocean cruise (Norway to Portugal: The History and Traditions of Europe) and our river cruise (Normandy and Gems of the Seine)... both by Scenic. Booking again with Hannah ensured that everything went like clockwork...from the time we left home till we got back. We cannot speak highly enough of the prompt service we always receive... read more from Hannah and Global Journeys. We have also found that Global Journeys prices are competitive and they will go out of their way to meet your needs. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a perfectly organised holiday. Regarding Scenic...everything is included in their packages, making for a stress free vacation. The Scenic staff cannot do enough for you...and the food and drinks are always A+. If you do the Normandy river cruise, look out for any tours conducted by Ben Bailie. He is just fantastic!

Extremely enjoyable ocean cruise. Northern Europe , QLD, Australia, Jul 2025
I was happy with everything. I would use MSC Cruise Lines and Global Journeys again. My travel agent for this trip was Sam Harris and I was extremely satisfied with his service. However, Hannah took over my booking when Sam left and was helpful to me.
