REPOSITIONING CRUISES GUIDE 2027-2028
Transatlantic, Transpacific & One-Way Cruises, Flights, Fares, Sea Days, Ports and Smart Planning
Discover a smarter way to cross the world's oceans, explore remarkable routes, and plan a repositioning cruise with confidence.
Repositioning cruises offer an unusual way to travel between continents. From transatlantic and transpacific crossings to Panama Canal voyages and coastal relocations, these one-way sailings can deliver memorable days at sea, interesting ports, and attractive fares. Yet a low advertised price does not always mean an inexpensive vacation.
One-way airfare, unfamiliar embarkation ports, lengthy sea-day stretches, changing climates, and onboard expenses can complicate even the most appealing itinerary.
