There are cruises – and then there are Voyages.

Designed to highlight some of the must-see destinations and itineraries that remain exclusive to the cruise industry, Avid Cruiser Virtual Voyages takes you along with us off the beaten path (or away from the busy shipping channels to put it in maritime terms) to discover new lands by sea, or to simply provide a new way of exploring a classic destination.

We cruise a lot, often spending more than half a year at sea. Yes, we know we’re fortunate and we are grateful for our good fortune — and that well-thought-out journalism degree that launched a career of travel writing.

Award-winning journalist Ralph Grizzle is joined by Aaron Saunders, who runs Avid Cruiser’s sister site, From the Deck Chair, to highlight our favorite Avid Cruiser Voyages.

Bon Voyage!

Avid Cruiser Voyages that we think must be on every Avid Cruiser’s must-cruise list.
