Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

When I read the only other (terrible) review of this Cruise I thought the reviewer was exaggerating the bad points, but having been on this ship for 4 days now I can only endorse everything that has already been said. First, the good points - the crew are lovely, very friendly and keep the ship very clean and tidy. And er…… that’s it. Everything else is a disaster. Embarkation - chaos. ...

An amazing sailing ship cruise

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

This cruise, long anticipated after so long a lock down , was simply glorious. We have cruised several hundred times over 40 years, but this sailing ship cruise on Golden Horizon was exceptional in so many ways. We’d planned to be on the original inaugural cruse, but as it was cancelled we chose a Harwich round trip during Cowes week, a 11 day trip. As we joined the 5 masts towered over the port, ...

Fantastic cruise on Golden Horizon

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

Having read the 2 negative reviews of Golden Horizon, I feel that it is important to submit a positive review as the cruise was simply fantastic. This was the inaugural cruise for Golden Horizon with paying passengers, and they did themselves proud. Embarkation - all completed within about 20 minutes of arriving (after the covid test on the dock). Met on board by very friendly staff who took us ...

Wonderful experience

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

Many years ago whilst holidaying in Rhodes my husband spotted a masted sailing ship and yearned for years to be able to enjoy and adventure on one. Then two years ago we spotted a sailing ship in Kotor, this time we could see the decks and once again felt jealousy for the people enjoying such a special adventure. So when my daughter (travel agent) told us that Golden Horizon was doing U.K. ...

Dress rehearsal under sail

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This was the first trip with passengers for the world’s largest and newest sailing ship, a 5 masted luxury ship. It is beautiful to look at and we’ll appointed, but has no lifts, some staircases are spiral and quite narrow. Some features such as the marina deck which drops down at the rear were not operating. Food was well prepared, although on the first couple of nights plates were cold! ...

Dress Rehearsal nowhere near ready

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Golden Horizon

Carebeau
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We actually sailed out of Portland not Portsmouth and it was the Dress Rehearsal Cruise for six nights. The ship is brand new and lovely as were the staff. The main problem was that neither were anywhere near ready for paying passengers. There was so much wrong its difficult to know where to start. 1. Food and Drink - probably one of the main reasons people cruise on high end cruise lines is ...
