Fabulous Trip   1 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
Everything went so smoothly. This Viking cruise was exceptional. The staff, accommodation, tours, talks and of course the food were excellent. Highly recommend this trip and of course Global Journeys.
Viking cruise highly recommended   1 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
The Viking cruise was amazing. The Mars Viking was tastefully decorated and only 2 years old. The staff were fabulous as was the food. We were given the opportunity to try wines from all over Europe at each meal but were still able to request your favourite wine. Norway is beautiful and we had amazing weather. It was a shame the weather meant we missed ...read more one port in Iceland but it was too dangerous because of icebergs. The included tours were good and we added some extra tours which were great.
Great cruise   2 , SA, Australia, Aug 2023
Had a wonderful time on the Viking Mars cruising around the British Isles. The weather was perfect, it only rained on our last day (in Bergen). Our favourite stop was Invergorden where we cruised Loch Ness, walked around Urquhart Castle (which was the only Highland castle to hold out against the English), then we visited the standing stones at Craigh ...read more na Dun (famous in the Outlander series), then onto the site of the Culloden battlefield. Thanks to Jemma for all her hard work in looking after and helping with our booking. We’ve booked another cruise through Global Journeys and are looking forward to cruising the Seine next year.
Into the midnight shun   1 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2023
Recently returned from a Viking Cruise along the coast of Norway, Scottish Islands of Shetland and Orkney, Edinburgh and into London. The trip was amazing and well worth the experience. We once again booked the trip through Global as we have previously used their services. All the arrangements went without a hitch and we would like to thank Hannah once ...read more again for all her help and patience with our many requests. We will again book through Global on our next adventure wherever it is in the world. Big thanks Hannah your amazing.
Faultless cruise of Asia.   1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2023
Thank you Tracey for your faultless organising of our Viking Ocean cruise of Asia. We had a lovely cruise and had no trouble with flights etc. I would recommend you and Global Journeys anytime.
Viking cruise from Sydney to Auckland   0 , VIC, Australia, Jan 2023
We had previously booked a tour with Viking of Scandinavia and St Petersburg which was cancelled due to the pandemic. Thanks to Georgie Walpole we were lucky enough to receive a full refund of for this cruise. We decided to do a cruise and chose Viking to see what they were like and due to the fact that they had refunded our money for our previous booking. ...read more The majority of the people on board were American and Viking had had their money for up to four years. Unfortunately due to weather and port restrictions we missed several ports of call. For us it didn't matter so much as we had visited New Zealand many times. Viking sent us a generous credit to be used for future travel on our return home. Experiencing life on board a Viking boat was amazing. Everything was first class. I loved every minute.
Voyage of Marco Polo     2 , SA, Australia, Oct 2022
Thanks Hannah who was very helpful and returned quickly to our questions and also took care of our booking on the Voyage Of Marco Polo 36 Days cruise from Athens to Bangkok on board Viking Mars. It was a fantastic trip - unforgettable and highly recommended. Will book and again with Global Journeys.
