Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about their South Pacific cruise

Loved PNG. Did not love the boat.   , Australia, Aug 2024
I felt the boat is looking old. The food offered not good quality. Or variety. There is plenty of food but rarely anything fresh and often. Cool to warm. Rather than hot. All staff were excellent, on board and off. Entertainment was limited to very basic, except for a very articulate and interesting historian who presented 3 talks on PNG. I loved ...read more visiting PNG.
P&O cruise 🚢 Vanuatu trip   , New Zealand, Jul 2024
You have done a wonderful job sorting my cruise out. The cruise wasn’t as good as other companies. We got mocktail, coffee drinks cards. Excited and got to the bar to order a mocktail they only gave a choice of two mocktails kiwi fruit or lychee flavoured - great introduction gosh, real downer, bar staff gave the feeling that we’re cheap. The duty free ...read more only stocked blue cartons of smokes $81 for 8 packets of 25s. If you wanted Red you could purchase from the cafe a packet for around $50 not completely sure. Pretty bad, hard choice, got a carton of smokes. Bottles range from about $40 Australian thankfully Port Vila had good prices. I won 2 tickets for massages they were looking at me side ways when I booked in for them. My daughter went in before me and came out after me. Gosh they’re money hungry 😋. The food would be considered wonderful for some but compared to other ships doesn’t compare. I did enjoy the cruise. My rating is for you Tracey 10/10 thanks!

This was our first cruise and we couldn't have had a more wonderful holiday. The Queen Elizabeth was the height of elegance and the meals and entertainment first class. We made some new friends on board and would congregate in the Commodore Club for cocktails and beer. Thank you Global Journeys for your organising our booking and being on hand for ...read more any queries and confirmations.
Amazing first cruise to South Pacific     , QLD, Australia, Dec 2023
An amazing cruise - Balcony stateroom on 12th floor suited our needs (oh, and what a bed!) Plenty of restaurants, but our favourite was the buffets. Although you sometimes had to queue, the food was fresh, prepared and presented well and delicious with cuisine for anyone's tastes. Jacuzzis around the pool lovely early morning after a run on the track ...read more around the upper deck! A wide variety of 'movies under the stars' and shows in the theatre. Cruising to South Pacific over Christmas was great with a holiday atmosphere, plenty of bars to hang out at and top it with lazy, refreshing times at the Spa. We've already booked our next trip!
