How to Book Repositioning Cruises
Repositioning cruises are, as implied, cruises that reposition ships from one region of the globe to another. Cruise ships need to be relocated to fit the demands of the cruising seasons, and it is an added bonus that a cruise line can charge passengers to come along for the relocation. This much was covered in our article on the basics of repositioning cruises, which are also called “repo cruises” and “transitional cruises.” We also covered the discounts available for repositioning cruises, as well as explained the type of people who can take one of these unique vacations. But this still leaves a gap in our coverage: how can you actually book a repositioning cruise? You might know that you want to and can take a repositioning cruise, and you might even know which type you want to take, but still not know exactly how to book one. As a consequence, we have explained below how to book a repositioning cruise. Read more […] -
Repositioning Cruises: Which Cruise Lines Offer Them?
Repositioning cruises serve a crucial function in the global cruise industry, but they are often overlooked. This is at least partially understandable, given that only certain people can realistically take repositioning cruises, and also that cruise lines often don’t explicitly advertise these voyages as “repositioning cruises.” This latter point is important, as it can cause people to operate on the mistaken assumption that not many cruise lines actually offer repositioning cruises. In fact, almost all the major cruise lines, and a number of smaller cruise lines as well, operate repositioning cruises. They have to relocate their ships somehow, and they may as well transport their vessels with lots of paying customers on board. Read more […] -
Repositioning Cruises: What Kinds of Discounts and Deals are Available?
Having explained the basics of repositioning cruises and described the sort of people who can take transitional cruises (as repositioning cruises are sometimes known), we figured we should now delve into the specific types of cruises you can take.

Where and when exactly can you take a repositioning cruise? What kinds of deals or discounts can you get by taking a repositioning cruise? To these and similar questions we now turn our attention.

Repositioning Cruises: Who Can Take Them?
Repositioning cruises are often overlooked as a vacation possibility. To an extent, this makes sense, as they are somewhat difficult to arrange. As we explained in our article about the basics of repositioning cruises, they tend to take longer than a regular cruise, and they are also one-way, so you end up far away from your port of embarkation, necessitating a long flight home (if you need to go home). Both characteristics of repositioning cruises nullify their viability for the majority of regular cruisers, which caused us to wonder exactly who can take a repositioning cruises. They are a bit complicated, so what type of person is even in a position to take one? Read more […] -
Caribbean Cruises: Which Cruise Lines Offer Them?
Caribbean cruises are an excellent way to vacation, as we explained in a recent article detailing why you should take a Caribbean cruise. To bolster our argument, we also wrote an article that listed some of the celestial locations that you can visit on a Caribbean cruise. We have, in short, covered the question of “why” you should cruise to the Caribbean and are now interested in addressing the matter of “how” you should actually go about doing this. To that end, we put forward an answer to the following question: which cruise lines offer trips to the Caribbean? Read more […] -
Caribbean Cruises: Where Can You Go?
In a recent article, we wrote about why you should take a Caribbean cruise. We covered the main attractions of Caribbean cruises, including some of the many activities you can participate in while going on such a cruise, as well as the fact that you are going to, well, the Caribbean, a vacation destination that needs no defense. We trust we were sufficiently persuasive, and so now the question before is this: where exactly can you go to on a Caribbean cruise? The Caribbean is, after all, a rather large place. Read more […]
