“Our cruise with Ponant along the Kimberley coast last month was the trip of a lifetime for us. The scenery and wildlife were amazingly beautiful. You can’t believe your eyes. The sheer wonderment of it all was very moving and rewarding. We loved the luxury of cruising with Ponant too – we’ll cruise with them again. And we really liked the service offered by Cruise Express who were always responsive to any query we had.”

The Kimberley with Ponant, August 2018

We want to thank Cruise Express for being so helpful in organising our recent holiday in Europe where we sailed on each of Cunard’s three liners – one to the Baltic, one to Norway and another across the Atlantic to New York. It was an excellent trip – very special. The three Queens were wonderful – although Queen Mary 2 was our favourite – and we saw so much for the first time. Flying to Europe in Premium Economy class also made a big difference in comfort for us. We love cruising and like to go on at least one cruise a year.

Three Queens, May 2018

We just want to thank Cruise Express for your meticulous organisation of our trip aboard the Flying Scotsman train in the UK and our cruise to the Baltic on Celebrity Silhouette. Everything went off without a hitch and we had the most amazing time of our lives. Every aspect of this special journey was fantastic. And we were very impressed with the fabulous weather that you organised too! To ride on such an iconic train was very exciting. What I love about train travel is the ability to take in the changing scenery so leisurely which is why I loved our Balcony Cabin on the cruise to Russia as well. Train travel, like cruising, is just so effortless. This was our third booking with Cruise Express. Your trips are always so well organised and so much fun. We did your Riverina train trip last year and we liked it so much we’re doing it again this September and then early next year we’re joining your Northern Lights trip to Norway. Can’t wait!

Flying Scotsman Train and Celebrity Silhouette Baltic Cruise, May 2018

This was my first cruise but definitely not my last. It was so good to meet other crocheters and enjoy our craft together at sea. As the hosts, Moira and Andrew were fantastic and great fun, organising everything for us and looking after us with refreshments every day . The teachers were also excellent. The atmosphere in our crochet sessions each day was warm, friendly and welcoming. I loved it and I look forward to more crochet cruises with Cruise Express.

South Pacific Crochet Cruise, March 2018

A quick note to thank Hardy, Rebecca and the rest of the Cruise Express team for organising an unforgettable holiday and experience in Iceland and Norway. To see the incredible Northern Lights not once but four times was one of the many, many highlights of the tour. This was my sixth trip with Cruise Express since 2010 and I’m always impressed by how Hardy, as tour leader, takes care of everything and everyone.  Although I travelled alone on this trip, I always felt part of the group and made so many new friends. Cruise Express always delivers an unbelievable and unforgettable holiday. Japan is the next trip I am hoping to do with Cruise Express.

Norway and Iceland Escorted Voyage, February 2018

A very big thank you to everyone involved in organising this amazing trip! Scott and I had a wonderful time from the moment we met the Cruise Express staff at Central Station and the friendly and informative volunteers on the train. We met some lovely people and enjoyed listening to their stories about travelling on similar trains and carriages in the past. We were lucky enough to share our carriage with a very friendly couple. We shared our life stories, travelled on coaches with them, shared meals at restaurants, wineries and farms, and laughed heaps!

Our accommodation at Quest, Griffith was great. The coaches were new and clean and the drivers very friendly. Everywhere we went we learnt something new about farming sheep, growing wine, fruit harvesting, cruising and the work that goes into maintaining and running heritage trains! The meals we had were fantastic. From the breakfast pack on the train to the great meal at Piccolo made by Nona and her family! The dinner at McWilliams, the wonderful lunch at the Junee Railway Station Cafe, dinner at Zecca Restaurant and the breakfasts and dinners at Griffith. Not forgetting the sandwiches and rolls from Moss Vale!

We hope you will be organising this trip again and we will highly recommend it to our family and friends. Thank you again to everyone involved, we have made new friends and lots of new memories.
