British Isles and Iberia cruise Christine and Rob, NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Wonderful cruise but very American orientated. Lectures onboard were informative but also directed to the American audience. Shore excursions were well organised and entertainment fantastic. Size of ship is also appealing. Global Journeys were great to book through and will continue to organise my travel arrangements through Georgie.
Scenic very good and excellent service from Hannah at Global Journeys Deb and Peta, QLD, Australia, Apr 2024
This cruise was very good. Spain and Portugal delightful countries to visit and good choice of included excursions. Compared well to Viking. Main (minor) disappointments were food related- no local regional food choices on menu (just usual restaurant menu), no fresh orange juice, no chocolates on turn-down. Overall 8/10.
Hannah was allocated as our ...read more GJ consultant and how lucky were we? She handled everything promptly and efficiently throughout both our tour bookings so far, and provided excellent service in arranging urgent change of flight plans. 10/10. Thanks sincerely Hannah.
