A repositioning cruise is a one-way voyage that a cruise ship takes when it moves from one region to another for seasonality changes or other logistical reasons. Rather than move an empty cruise ship from one location to another, the cruise lines create a repositioning cruise by offering passengers a chance to join these unique voyages. Repositioning cruises are also known as “repo cruises” and are occasionally referred to as “relocation cruises”. These cruises are typically longer than a week and can last anywhere from 13 to 19 nights. They often have many consecutive days at sea, which can be ideal for passengers who want to relax and enjoy the ships amenities. Repositioning cruises are generally cheaper than regular cruises because most passengers will have to combine them with a one-way airline ticket. The routes of repositioning cruises are almost never direct cruises, and they tend to visit interesting ports along the way. Some of the benefits of a repositioning cruise include the opportunity to visit exotic destinations, the chance to sail a new, offbeat route, and the lower cost per day. However, passengers should be aware that repositioning cruises often have many days at sea, and they will need to book one-way or open-jaw flights, which can be more expensive than roundtrip airfare.
