What Is A Repositioning Cruise?
What is a repositioning cruise, and why would you want to go on
one? Well, you might not want to, but there are many reasons why
you would or would not want to embark on such a journey. A
repositioning cruise is a little bit different from a normal
cruise for a couple of reasons. Below is outlined some of the
ways that it is different from a regular cruise and how this
works for and against you and your travel needs.
(1) A repositioning cruise leaves one port and arrives in
another. That is, a repositioning cruise does not return to the
port from which it departed. This is because of the changing
climates of the water. So, like birds, cruise ships relocate
north or south depending on the season. This often takes a
number of days and a lot of resources, so instead of relocating
the ships sans passengers, the cruise lines offer
"repositioning" cruises at a deeply discounted price.
(2) That brings us to pro number one. The cost is much less than
your average cruise. However, since you have to pay your own air
fare to and from the ports of call, it could end up being about
the same in the long run, since your plane tickets to two
different locations will likely be more than a standard round
trip ticket.
(3) These trips are often longer than normal cruises, lasting an
average of nine to eighteen days. This is great for longer
vacations, and tend to be very relaxing for those who are able
to take advantage of such an extended journey. However, many
people can not afford to take so much time off of work, so
this
really is a niche market.
(4) Repositioning cruises tend to make much less stops at ports
of call, since their main purpose is to relocate the ship to a
final destination. This is good if you would like to spend a lot
of time at sea, but if you want to see a lot of different
places, than it is unlikely that you will find what you are
looking for on a repositioning cruise.
So where can you find a repositioning cruise? Well, you could
watch the birds and see which way they are flying. If that is
not working for you, however, you could check out some of these
resources:
* The Carnival Spirit winters on the Mexican Riviera and
repositions to Alaska via Hawaii in the fall.
* The Carnival Liberty goes from the Mediterranean in the summer
to the Atlantic in the fall
* The Celebrity Constellation and the Celebrity Millennium
relocate from the Caribbean to Europe in the spring and then
head back for the Americas in the fall
* The Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea cross the Atlantic
to reposition from the Caribbean to Europe in the spring.
There are many other opportunities to cash in on this great
cruise discount. The best place to check is cruises
repositioning from Alaska for the winter. Give your travel agent
a call and check it out.
