Repositioning Cruises
Explore seasonal one-way cruises that move ships between operating regions, including Transatlantic and Transpacific sailings.
What Is a Repositioning Cruise?
A repositioning cruise is a one-way sailing used when a cruise ship moves from one seasonal operating region to another. Common examples include spring and fall Transatlantic crossings and Pacific moves between Alaska or the West Coast, Hawaii and Australia.
Because these cruises are designed around a fleet move rather than a repeating roundtrip itinerary, they can offer unusual routes, longer stretches at sea and ports that are less common on conventional cruises.

Repositioning cruises can appeal to travelers who enjoy sea days, longer voyages and one-way itineraries. They can also offer attractive fares per night, although the cruise fare is only part of the trip cost.
Before booking, compare one-way or open-jaw airfare, voyage length, consecutive sea days, cabin comfort, laundry, Wi-Fi and onboard packages. A route that looks inexpensive at first can become less compelling once flights and onboard spending are included.
