Grand Cruise, Collector's Voyage, or long cruise?

[Iwant2BatC]

Perhaps an "insider" could explain what categorizes a Grand Cruise, a Collector's Voyage, or just a long cruise? I have been looking at the January 10, 2013 Rotterdam 88 day cruise from Southamptom to the Far East and it doesn't seem to have any special benefits or hype. I am curious about this? Thanks

Collcector's Voyages are always two separate cruises sold as one longer cruise. Grand World Voyage is the whole thing, or a segment of the World voyage. EM

Grand Cruises are often a one time only itinerary, perhaps a circum-Pacific, or a circum-South America for example. They may have extra special perks for those who sign up early such as luggage delivery from your home to the pier and back. Others will be able to tell you better.

Grand Voyages have a lot a special perks like pillow gifts, better menus, more special events and a price to go along with these extras.

 

Long cruises can have extra events, but are mostly just longer cruises than most. Because most long cruises have a lot of sea days they are very relaxed cruises.

 

Collectors Voyages are priced lower than two cruises back to back, generally have no perks except usually a special lunch or cocktail party.
