WORLD CRUISES & GRAND VOYAGES
Long voyages deserve careful planning.
I help travelers plan world cruises, world cruise segments, and Grand Voyages on premium and luxury lines, and my favorite people to plan for are people who are ready to see the world, on their own, with their family, or with their tribe of friends.
Looking for a world cruise travel advisor?
You’re in the right place. I’m Kari Jandran, a luxury and premium cruise advisor with Adventure Bound Travels and a member of Outside Agents’ invite-only Opulence luxury division. World cruises and Grand Voyages are a specialty of mine, from choosing the right ship and suite to planning your flights and hotels.
REAL EXPERIENCE

Recognized by Azamara’s CEO
In August 2026, Azamara’s CEO recognized me in front of more than 400 fellow advisors at my host agency’s conference, because of a world cruise I sold. I was the only advisor singled out.

World cruise
Azamara, for a solo traveler
Proof that you don’t need a travel partner to see the world.
“Without a doubt, Kari is the very BEST travel agent I have ever worked with; wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. When I first contacted her, I was very frustrated working with another TA who was non-responsive to any of my requests or questions, provided no help sorting through a number of issues. Kari recently handled a 52 day cruise for me and literally held my hand throughout the process; contacting me immediately and with answers to every question. I never, ever felt alone in the process. She is outstanding, conscientious, effective, supportive, stickler for details, and absolutely charming and warm. The superlatives go on and on! She is definitely THE BEST!”

WHICH FITS YOU?
Three ways to see the world by sea
Not everyone is ready for months away, and that’s fine. Here’s how the options compare.
Full world cruise
Several months, circling the globe
A good fit if you have the time, love settling into ship life, and want to see as much of the world as possible in one trip.
World cruise segment
A piece of a world cruise
A good fit if you want the long-voyage experience without committing to the whole thing. Many travelers start here.
Grand Voyage
Often 30 to 60-plus nights, one region in depth
A good fit if you’d rather really get to know the Mediterranean, South America, or Asia than skim across every continent.

WORKING WITH ME
What I handle for you
Booking a world cruise online is a little like buying off the rack. Working with me is more like visiting a tailor: we start with how you actually want to travel, and build from there.
The right ship and suite
Months onboard is a different decision than a week. Space, dining, pace, and fellow guests all matter more.
Timing your booking
Popular cabin categories on long voyages can sell early. We’ll plan so you’re ready when it counts.
Flights and hotels
Long voyages often start and end on different continents. I coordinate air and pre- and post-cruise stays.
Travel protection options
I’ll walk you through travel protection so you can decide what’s right for you.
Packing and what to expect
Multiple climates, formal nights, laundry, and life onboard for weeks at a time.
One trusted contact
You’ll work with me directly, not a call center or a team of strangers.

AN HONEST NOTE
A long voyage isn’t right for everyone
Weeks or months away means time apart from family, planning for things at home, and choosing a ship you’ll truly enjoy living on. The most expensive suite isn’t the right one if it doesn’t fit how you travel, the same way the priciest pair of shoes isn’t right if it pinches. If a shorter voyage or a segment makes more sense for you, I’ll tell you.
A COMPLIMENTARY GUIDE
World Cruise, Grand Voyage, or Segment?
Not sure which one fits you? My complimentary guide walks you through the real tradeoffs, the details that make or break a long voyage, and the questions worth asking before you book with anyone.

Questions I hear often
Can I take a world cruise as a solo traveler?
Yes, and I’ve planned one. Solo pricing and cabin options vary by line, so that’s one of the first things we’ll look at together.
Do I have to sail the whole world cruise?
No. Segments let you join for part of the voyage, and Grand Voyages offer a long sailing focused on one region.
How far ahead should I start planning?
Earlier than you might expect. Long voyages are often released well in advance, and the most popular suites tend to go first.
How do we get started?
With a complimentary consultation by phone or Google Meet. We’ll talk about how you like to travel, and I’ll tell you honestly which voyages make sense.
From a World Cruise Client
I have dealt with several travel agents – ones that do not return your calls, ones that provide erroneous information, ones that are always in a hurry you feel like an inconvenience. Kari is none of those – Kari always will return your call, if she does not know the answer to a question – she will follow up and find out, you will get no erroneous info. Kari is prompt, extremely helpful, friendly, fun, courteous, accommodating. I highly recommend using Kari as your travel agent.
