Creator's Key Takeaways

And that is what lies beyond the traditional 7-day Caribbean Alaska cruise. Is there more to cruising than that? Let's find out

It took us oh well over a dozen cruises, maybe longer, before we finally broke the 7-day cruise model

The longer than seven days is more exotic itineraries. They're often cruises that have a different demographic

When you start doing the longer ones, you start thinking, 'Oh, a seven's just not long enough.' And it's true

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use Cruise Plum to search for longer cruises and sort by price per night
βœ“Book exotic longer cruises early as they often sell out quickly
βœ“Consider back-to-back cruises on different ships to avoid repetition
βœ“Plan for internet connectivity on longer cruises
βœ“Factor in laundry options when choosing cruise lines for long trips
