Dargal Cruises
Dargal Cruises is not a standalone company or cruise line; rather, cruises are one of the vacation types that are offered through Dargal Interline Worldwide. As their name partially implies, they focus on interline ticketing, which in essence is an employment benefit of working for an airline or other qualifying company. So, if people are searching for a Dargal cruise, they are searching for a discounted cruise that can be booked with the services of Dargal Interline Worldwide. Below we explain Dargal Interline Worldwide (or DIW for short) and the cruises you can book with them. Read more […] -
Ozcruising
Ozcruising, which you might expect to be spelled as two words (“Oz Cruising”) or at least with two capital letters (“OzCruising”), is a company that focuses exclusively on the Australian cruise market. Obviously, this includes cruises that go to and from Australia, most frequently in one voyage, but it also encompasses cruises in this region of the world that never call at a port in Australia (like cruises in South East Asia), as well as a few world cruises that involve Australia in one way or another. (The cruise either starts or ends here, or else it stops by one or more Australian ports.) Basically, Ozcruising is concerned with marketing any cruise that starts, ends, or is near the continent of Australia. Below is an overview of Ozcruising, covering questions like “what does it do?” and “is it legitimate?” 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. After all, even if you gathered that you like the idea of repositioning cruises and have determined you are able to take one after reading these first two articles, this still doesn’t tell you much about what possibilities actually await you when you start looking into taking a repositioning cruise. 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 […] -
Repositioning Cruises: The Basics
Here is a problem for cruise lines: they can’t offer cruises to some regions of the world all year, but they also don’t want the ships dedicated to this region to remain unused until the next season. The resolution to this problem is the repositioning cruise, a voyage that repositions (as one might suspect) a ship from one cruising territory to another. Repositioning cruises, which are also called “repo cruises” and “transitional cruises,” provide cruise lines with the additional benefit of allowing them to send their ships from one side of the world to the other while still making money from passenger fares. But the passengers benefit too, as the fares for repositioning cruises are often substantially discounted (relative to standard cruises). Our sense is that repositioning cruises tend to fly under the radar of the average cruise vacationer – a lot of people are not even aware of them – so we’ve outlined repositioning cruises below in case any of our readers are interested in pursuing them.

Family Cruise Packages
There is a lot packed into the phrase “family cruise package.” Obviously, someone looking for family cruise packages is considering (or at least researching) family cruises, but they could also be hunting for some sort of discount or other deal, as the word “package” seems to suggest. (When someone books a fight-and-hotel package, for instance, they often do so for the savings.) So, we have two questions to address: can booking a family cruise package save you money, and why might you want to take a family cruise? Read more […]
