Was a great Alaskan Cruise trip with siblings. Had wonderful weather. Lots of exceptional onboard talent and events to choose from.
Great Game Drive Experience in Kenya & Tanzania 0
Wildlife of Kenya & Tanzania: Nakuru to Serengeti
Lily, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Great experience to see all wildlife in nature. All CEOs & drivers are excellent. We saw massive wildebeest, many herds of zebras, gazelles, antelopes, baboons & giraffes, and the iconic "Big Five", plus cheetahs, hyenas, white rhinos, hippos and crocodiles. The only issue was the game drive vehicle in Tanzania was more crowded than in Kenya. Thanks read more Grace for taking care of our booking, answering our questions promptly.
A wonderful experience of a country we knew very little about. Exceeded our expectations. Well looked after during our stay, coaches were superb and 4x4m drivers in the Gobi Desert were very experienced and attentive and vehicles were clean at all times. A few issues with communication (language) with our guide however she took great care of us and attended to our every need.
The Duoro Valley was spectacular but the actual cruise felt like a coach trip where we used the Travelmarvel Estrela more as a hotel. Of course there was cruising and we passed through some impressive locks, but often excursions would bus us to a winery while the ship continued along the river, returning us to meet it at a different location. Consequently read more I felt that I missed out on a lot of the relaxing river cruising I was looking forward to. The Estrela was quite a new ship, but not very well designed. The bathrooms were minute as was the pool on the sundeck. The dining room and lounge with their very low ceilings need much better sound damping. It was a pleasant trip but did not live up to my expectations. Hannah Perry at Global Journeys handled our booking very well and was always available to answer queries.

A wonderful holiday despite difficult circumstances 0
European Gems
Peter and Ruth, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
We planned and booked this holiday over 12 months ago and were impressed by the quality of service provided by Tracey Standing at Global Journeys. Nothing was too much trouble even when a small war started on our route to Europe threatening to prevent our getting there. Tracey was able to book us alternate flights, taking us around the world the other read more way (via Canada), as a contingency plan then was able to get our money back when we didn't actually need them.
The Travelmarvel cruise was an excellent product too. Their staff were all highly skilled and very effective at working around difficult circumstances. Due to low water levels in the Rhine/Danube river system we were unable to make the full journey on a single ship and ended up traveling on four different ships with buses shuttling us between navigable portions of the rivers. In many ways we probably managed to see more of Europe than we would normally see just from the river. Through the efforts of our Cruise Director Bernadett we covered every one of the locations we were booked to see and there was a sound clear plan and effective control measures every time we had to relocate. (With over 150 passengers that adds up to a lot of cats to herd). I would go on a similar Global Journeys/Travelmarvel trip again in a heartbeat without any concerns about what fate throws at us. (I might wait until it rains again in Europe though.)

Top quality way to see the Kimberley coast 0
Australia's Iconic Kimberley
Lynn, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
This trip exceeded my already high expectations. The expedition crew packed in as many outings as possible and we visited multiple places really only accessible by water. There were also excellent talks from the crew on the wildlife, geology, history and culture of the places we visited. Added to this were a comfortable cabin, really good food and impeccable read more service from all crew. A really outstanding trip.
Tracey organised a fabulous 8 day cruise for 19 family members - a trip of a lifetime-so special. Thank you Tracey and Carnival.
Emerald Rhine and Danube river cruise 0
Splendours of Europe
Geoffrey and Sally, New Zealand, Jul 2026
We travelled the last 2 weeks of July as river levels were dropping, but Emerald were magnificent in ensuring we completed the trip, accommodating us on 3 different ships so we missed very little of the programme. Facilities and food were top class, the organization faultless, all worked tirelessly and at considerable trouble and expense. Our cruise read more Director Patricia and Activities Manager Sophie stayed with us throughout and worked so hard to look after us, and Tracey from Global Journeys kept in touch. We have never cruised in any form before and may never again, but we certainly won't forget it.
The cruise was good but I prefer to have shared dining, but I know the ship told me they are too small to do that but I’m sure it could be possible with the size of dining areas. The entertainment was great and there was always things to do for fun from night activity to lounging by the pool. The staff were friendly and polite and courteous. I have read more no real complaints regarding the cruise. The buffet food was a little bland would be my only complaint
