After reviewing that video, this type of cruise sounds ideal for just – relaxing and getting away from it all!
Let’s have a closer 👀 look at the reasons why!
Why Repositioning Cruises Offer The Best Cruise Deals
Basically, a repositioning cruise leaves one port and arrives in another. Simply said, this type of cruise does not return to the ⚓ port from which it departed.
Drop by the 📰 Wikipedia website, for a more thorough explanation about this type of cruise holiday.
As the 🍂 seasons change, so do the itineraries of the majority of major cruise lines.
For example in the spring and fall, ships cruising 🏔 Alaska itineraries generally do so from – May to September. These ships will return to 🏝 warmer climates, or to other areas of the world for the winter months.
So, much like 🕊 birds, cruise ships relocate, depending on the season or reposition themselves.
Instead of relocating the ships without passengers, the cruise lines offer wonderful deals, and generally at deeply 💰 discounted prices!
That brings us to perhaps the ☝ number one reason for grabbing repositioning cruise specials, and that is – Value!
The cost is usually much less than a typical average cruise and/or, the individual cruise lines will offer tremendous incentives to customers.
All, in order to fill their ships to capacity.
For instance, some of these types of cruise specials will include;
The above are just three examples of some of the great incentives that may be included in these types of cruises.
Expect Dramatically Reduced Fares On These Cruises
Disney Cruise Ship Leaving Vancouver BC
I captured the above 📸 photo while walking around Stanley Park in 🍁 Vancouver, BC. It was late September and this Disney Cruise Ship was making its way out of the harbor about to reposition after spending the summer cruising to Alaska.
Cruise ships dramatically reduce fares making them attractive to passengers who would normally prefer port-intensive cruises.
Cruise lines also realize, that many passengers will likely spend more money per day while on board ship, on these types of cruises.
Places such as in the 🎲 casinos, 🍹 lounges and 🛍 retail shops while at sea. More than they would normally do when these ships visit numerous ports on a more typical cruise.
As a result, fantastic deals are offered by the major cruise lines, who are more than willing to sail with deeply discounted fares in order to fill their cabins.
Here’s just a sample of the many such specials that are typically offered.

From the Pacific Coast, the Panama Canal, to crossing the Atlantic, these cruise specials are to found all across the globe. You should be aware that these types of cruises tend to make much less stops at ports of call, since their main purpose is to relocate the ship to a final destination.

How To Find These Great Cruise Specials
Look North to Alaska first

The second place to look is – Northern Europe or the Mediterranean. Many ships sailing in Europe will cross the Atlantic to the United States, or the 🏝 Caribbean in the Fall and then return in the Springtime.
Since South America and Asia are becoming more popular as cruise destinations, you might also find repositioning cruises from the; USA across the Caribbean, to South America. You may even find cruises that cross the – Indian or Pacific Oceans.
