Repositioning cruises refer to when ships are given a different itinerary from the one that is normally navigated. Generally, a cruise ship that is repositioned will sail from one hemisphere to another. Many of these sailings are referred to as transatlantic or transpacific depending over which ocean the ship navigates.
For example, a transatlantic cruise is when a ship navigates from Fort Lauderdale (United States) to the port of Southampton (England), crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
It is worth mentioning that a cruise ship leaving from a United States or Caribbean port in the spring (say in April) may not return until December. Therefore, bookings on repositioning cruises occur both ways. Also, ships often sail from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean in April and Alaska in May. These ships usually return to the Caribbean in September.
Sometimes the return airfare is included in the cabin price, but don't count on it. Make certain that you know the cost of your return trip before you book your cruise.
You simply can not beat the value of repositioning cruises. If voyaging is truly what you love to do then repositioning cruises are for you. You will enjoy many relaxing days on transatlantic and transpacific cruises. Also, low fares are a major advantage.
You should reserve early because cabins sell fast, and the more expensive cabins go first. Fares for an inside cabin are as low as $60 per night for a 12 or 13 night cruise. Do the math and you will agree that these cruises offer unmatched value among all of your vacation options.
Contact a travel agent for more information and do not forget to ask if there are any repositioning cruises that include return airfare.
