Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their family cruises

This cruise was a lovely relaxing snapshot of the south island of New Zealand   , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
This cruise was a lovely relaxing snapshot of the south island of New Zealand with our first stop being Milford Sound, Dusky Sound and then Doubtful Sound which were so incredible to view. The next stops were Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington which all had their own diverse and individual history to see. Travelling from Sydney Harbour in the early ...read more evening was also spectacular and returning at 5.00am into Sydney Harbour and leaving the ship to look back at the harbour, the Bridge and the Opera House was so special and an added bonus to this cruise.

The entire trip was very enjoyable and there was numerous activities on board the Ovation of the Seas and incredible musicians entertaining the passengers at various points throughout the cruise, not only the nightly shows. We enjoyed very much the Wellington excursion to the Shipwreck coast which included a visit to Pencarrow Lodge perched high on the cliff with stunning views to the South Island etc. Such a beautiful Lodge which included a lovely morning tea.
South East Asia   , ACT, Australia, Mar 2025
Everything about this cruise was outstanding. Extremely well organised by Global Journeys, plenty of product knowledge, meeting all our expectations. Highly recommend Royal Caribbean for quality of facilities, fantastic service and exceptional staff. Amazing holiday .....
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.
The Break Away   , NSW, Australia, Nov 2024
It was a great short break - everything was perfect from the booking in and cabin staff to the neverending quality food and wait service. I could not fault any of the staff involved that made our lives easy and restful. Disembarking was a breeze following the instructions and procedures. Will book again definitely.
