Repositioning Cruise Deals
Repositioning cruises are offered at discounted prices when cruise lines relocate ships to a different region at the start or end of cruise seasons.
While these aren't the 'official' journey routes, the on-board entertainment and facilities are the same. A repositioning cruise docks regularly at many different ports. It's also important to remember that repositioning cruises conclude in a different port as the one you board at. Therefore, two one-way airfares are required or alternatively choose a repositioning cruise package that includes airfares.
