In this business, I have met a lot of people who seem to cruise all the time. They're barely off the ship when they call to book their next departure, or better yet, book them two or three at a time.

They've sworn off land-based trips and pledged allegiance to the sea. They've done the seven-day Caribbean, Alaska, maybe the Mediterranean, and are hungry for something new and different ... a truly grand voyage.

Cruise addicts, I feel your pain. For you, we created an exclusive list of the world's most tempting grand voyages. These are longer sailings that visit more than one region or continent, and we scour the itineraries of every cruise line as they are released, looking for unique and irresistible possibilities. Click here to see this exclusive list now, with every available discount rolled in.

The most coveted of all grand voyages are the world cruises. Most depart in the month of January. Currently there are 19 ships from 12 lines committed to 59 world cruise options between now and January 2026.

The upcoming world cruises are 92 to 274 nights long.

Among these options, the least expensive ones start at under $11,730 per person. (Click here for a list of all world cruises and world cruise segments.) For those who still are reading, it's better to look at the per-day price and take into account all that is included.

The best deals for world cruises are always available well in advance and come in the form of early booking discounts, past-passenger discounts and additional discounts that apply only to the customers of the largest sellers of cruises, like Vacations To Go.

If you're not in a position to spend months at sea circumnavigating the globe, you may want to consider some of our other "grand voyage" options.

For example, several ships in the Mediterranean offer enticing back-to-back (or back-to-back-to-back) itineraries that make it possible to sail for 12 to 35 nights with little or no port overlap. Some of these cruises combine Eastern and Western Mediterranean itineraries or the Mediterranean with the Greek Isles. A few ships offer the possibility to combine Mediterranean and Northern Europe sailings.

Or you can spend 14 to 28 nights exploring the tropical locales of the Western and Eastern Caribbean.

I also like back-to-back sailings as a ship repositions from one region to another, for the great variety in countries visited. I once booked a family cruise on a Regent ship as it ended its season in Bermuda and repositioned to Europe via New England, Canada and Iceland. We began our vacation on warm, pink-sand beaches in Bermuda and ended by climbing an ice wall on a glacier in Iceland. Only on a cruise could such an adventure be so easy.

Some of the possibilities include Alaska & Asia, Transatlantic & Caribbean, Transatlantic & Mediterranean and Transatlantic & Northern Europe.

Or, try Antarctica & South America, Australia/New Zealand & Asia/Far East or Hawaii & Tahiti.

Other intriguing combinations include Transatlantic & South America, Panama Canal & South America, Alaska & Panama Canal or Caribbean & South America.

If you live near one of the departure ports for grand voyages, the list of places you can visit on a cruise leaving locally may seem hard to believe. For example, on November 22, passengers can board Holland America's Volendam in San Diego and cruise to ports in Hawaii, then sail to eight ports along the Pacific coasts of Mexico before returning back to San Diego (30 nights, starting price $2,239 per person, just $74 per day. Click here for details).

In August, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth departs Vancouver and follows a route through Alaska's Inside Passage visiting Glacier Bay National Park and locales like Juneau and Ketchikan, then sails to ports along the Pacific coasts of Mexico and Costa Rica before cruising through the Panama Canal; wrap up the trip with a visit to Aruba before disembarking in Fort Lauderdale (29 nights, starting price $3,089 per person, or $106 per day. Click here for details).

On November 12, you can join the Caribbean Princess in Fort Lauderdale for a round trip voyage to eight destinations in the Western and Eastern Caribbean, like Princess Cays, Grand Turk, Amber Cove, Cozumel and Roatan (14 nights, starting price $909 per person, or $64 per day. Click here for details).

Board the Celebrity Apex on April 15, in Fort Lauderdale and visit Caribbean destinations like Belize and Grand Cayman, before a leisurely weeklong transatlantic crossing. After a day in Ireland, you'll visit England, France and Belgium before disembarking in Amsterdam (22 nights, starting price $2,521 per person, or $114 per day. Click here for details).

On November 28, Oceania's Sirena departs Miami and sets a course for the Caribbean destinations of St. Barts, Martinique and Trinidad. Then it travels on to locales in Brazil, including an inland cruise to Manaus in the heart of the Amazon rainforest (24 nights, starting price $5,199 per person, or $216 per day. Click here for details).

Beyond what I've listed here, if you ever run across any other back-to-back cruises you would like to combine, our cruise counselors will be happy to check for additional discounts and help you plan your own unforgettable grand voyage.
