Repositioning Cruises Offer Good Value

Twice a year, cruise lines reposition many of their ships. What does that mean? Why should you care? Repositioning takes a cruise ship from one part of the world (let's say Norway) to another (Jamaica maybe?) for a seasonal itinerary change. The costs are high for the cruise lines, so they accept paying customers to defray costs. The per-diem rates can be attractive. If you're interested in a transoceanic cruise, the time to start shopping is now. Since these trips occur in mid-to-late autumn, why think about it now? These trips fill up fast, often simply through word-of-mouth. Find out if a trip like this would meet your budget expectations.
