Repositioning Cruises Offer Good Value

Sunday October 7, 2007
Now is the time to get very serious about booking a repositioning cruise. That term (often known as a "repo" cruise) refers to a passenger cruise on a ship that's being sent to another part of the world for seasonal service. For example, let's say your cruise ship has been sailing the fjords of Norway all summer. It's likely you'll want to move to a warmer location (Jamaica maybe?) for the winter months. The move from Norway to Jamaica costs a lot, and paying customers defray expenses. Many of the fall repo cruises are already booked, but you might find some last-minute deals. You can also look at spring 2008. These trips fill up fast, often simply through word-of-mouth. Find out if a trip like this would meet your budget expectations.
