People who typically go on numerous cruises ~ Travel and Leisure

People who typically go on numerous cruises may want a change of pace, which is why repositioning cruises are an excellent choice. They keep the variety alive while still offering the best in entertainment and a good time on a cruise. Repositioning means that the cruises will change their "migration pattern," just as birds do. For example, they go south in the wintertime and north in the summer time.

This way, their passengers can enjoy the best of the cruises all year round. The best thing about a repositioning style cruise is that they typically last longer than a "normal" cruise would. This means that travelers can pack much more cruising and activities into a single trip, for about the same price or less.

Repositioning cruises typically have take off from various ports and arrive at others. Additionally, these types of cruises can make 1, 2 or 10 stops along the way, and each cruise will have different itinerary. These cruises also have the added benefit of exploring cities and countries that do not typically fall within the agendas of other cruises, making them an excellent way to explore areas never before seen.

A repositioning cruise will typically start in one area of the world and end in another. However, the travel destinations are typically filled with many activities, so the cruiser is never at sea for too long. For example, with cruise tours, the exploring cruise traveler will get to make various excursions into port at various destinations such as the Suez Canal, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman and others. The exact tour taken depends on where the cruise starts or ends.

The only drawback to this type of cruise excursion is that they are one way only. This means that travelers will have to arrange for air travel to their home, or vice versa if they prefer this style of cruising. However, for travelers who love to be at sea for a long periods, this may be worth the extra airfare. For both the fall and spring itineraries, which is when repositioning usually takes place, is when the prices are at their lowest and cruisers can get a better deal.

While cruising for some is a great way to see the world, repositioning is of a different breed and not for everyone. However, a repositioning cruise is the best way to save money and cruise around the world at the same time.
