Global Journeys - Perfect as Usual   , SA, Australia, Aug 2024
Georgie and the team at Global Journeys once again have surprised our expectations and looked after us and our bookings very well. We travelled with APT Istanbul to Rome on L'Austral. If considering this type of cruise with APT, please be very aware of what you are booking. These cruises are not in any way similar to APT's fantastic river cruises. If ...read more you are mobility limited in any way, please reconsider this type of cruise as there is a significant amount of walking involved, just to get to your daily tour options. We look to booking our future holidays with Global Journeys.
Impressive ship and itinerary     , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
This was our first time with Emerald Azzuarra having previously travelled on the Scenic Eclipse. We loved the relaxed and non crowded feel of Azzurra. Being a smaller ship it was able to go to ports the bigger cruise lines cannot reach which was fabulous. We realized how great this was when we visited places like Debrovnick and Split that had 3-4 ...read more other big cruise lines in port and the places were PACKED! This itinerary was fabulous. We travelled mostly overnight and woke up each morning to a postcard view of a new town. The Croatian coastline and towns were stunning. Montenegro was just as beautiful, and whilst Albania was interesting , one day was perfect. Coming through the Corinth Cananl with only centimetres to spare on either side was a highlight.

The Emerald Azzurra crew were also amazing. Friendly, personable and attentive. Nothing was a problem for them. There are a few things Emerald need to work on such as food choices and consistency of quality though. We were told they are bringing people from Scenic Eclipse to elevate the experience. Emerald Azzurra is not in the class of Scenic Eclipse yet but has all the elements to be just as impressive with a bit more work. Overall we loved the trip and would travel with Emerald again.
Relaxed cruise on Adriatic Coast   , VIC, Australia, Jul 2024
Seven nights of relaxed cruising. Great weather. Only 25 passengers. Good tour director and boat crew. Fabulous small towns to visit each day.
Wonderful small cruise experience     , QLD, Australia, Jul 2024
What a wonderful week we had on Celestyal Journey. The ship was just the right size staff to passenger ratio was amazing it felt like a big family. The crew all knew us and the service was the best I’ve ever experienced on a cruise ship having been on many different cruise lines. I wish that they had more ships and routes. I would use them every time. ...read more We made some great lifelong friends which made it extra special. We were all in agreement about Celestyal 10 out 10. The food was fantastic nothing was too much trouble especially since our friend has celiac disease and they made sure he had the best diet for him. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with both Celestyal and Global Journeys again.
