On the 42nd anniversary of the death of their grandfather, an unexpected reunion takes place between two not-young cousins. When each was a boy of 12, Grand, as they called him, took first the older one and then the younger on a world cruise, hence the title of the play. Turns out it wasn’t such a grand time after all and has left both men affected for life.
