Repositioning cruises 2024 and 2025: Save money with these unusual itineraries

Looking for a cruise where you can truly kick back and take advantage of onboard amenities without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of a different port of call every day? Consider a repositioning cruise.

Repositioning cruises are the name for one-way sailings that bring the ship to a new home port or a different part of the world to kick-start a new cruise season. Because these sailings often cross oceans, you'll likely experience ports in more than one cruise region — and have ample sea days to take advantage of the spa, dining and entertainment options on board.

All the major cruise lines offer the occasional repositioning cruises, typically on ships that usually sail in destinations with shorter seasons, such as Alaska or the Mediterranean . Here, we answer all your questions about repositioning cruises.

What is a repositioning cruise?

Cruise ships chase warm and sunny climates, so they often move, or "reposition," from one part of the world to another when chilly weather sets in. Cruise lines don't want to sail a ghost ship, one carrying only crew and no passengers, across the ocean because it's wasting an opportunity to earn money. They have figured out that by discounting rates, they can fill the cabins on these oddball itineraries.

Repositioning cruises are never round-trip sailings. Your origin and destination cities — or, in cruise-speak , embarkation and disembarkation ports — will not be the same. You might sail out of Florida and arrive in Barcelona or Southampton, England, allowing you to explore two continents on one vacation. Or, you might simply sail from Boston to Florida or from San Diego to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Repositioning cruises are known for having a greater-than-average number of days spent at sea, but it's not as if you never get off the ship. On a transatlantic sailing , port stops could be in Spain's Canary Islands or Portugal's Azores islands. A repositioning cruise from Southern California to Vancouver before the Alaska cruise season might sail up the Pacific Coast and visit cities like San Francisco and Astoria, Oregon.

Another aspect that makes a repositioning cruise different from a typical sailing is that many of these itineraries are longer than a week. (This is by design. It takes longer to sail from Florida to Europe than it does to sail to and from the Caribbean .) Still, there is a lot of flexibility, just as with booking any cruise. The shortest you'll find is four or five days (for example, Southern California to Vancouver) and the longest is around 28 nights (yes, almost an entire month, usually between continents).

Are repositioning cruises one-way?

Yes, repositioning cruises are one-way voyages that start in one region and end in another. Because they happen when a cruise ship switches destinations based on seasonality, these sailings often involve travel to a different part of the world, which can result in many consecutive days at sea.

Where and what time of year do cruise ships reposition?

The good news is you can book a repositioning cruise nearly six months out of the year, spanning mid-spring and mid-fall months, which are the cruise lines' shoulder seasons.

Because repositioning cruises are not all tied to the same destination, this only widens your options in terms of geography. To envision where these will sail and when, you need to know a destination's cruise season.

Take Europe as an example. The majority of Mediterranean and Baltic sailings take place in the spring through the early fall. Europe-based ships flee the region during the winter, spending November through March in the warm Caribbean. Therefore, a ship will need to travel from the Caribbean to Europe in spring and return to the Caribbean by fall. Look for transatlantic repositioning cruises during those changeover months.

Some ships stay in the Caribbean year-round and only reposition when the cruise line chooses to move them to a different home port. However, ships sailing short seasons in Alaska, South America, Canada/New England and Europe will always be repositioned at least twice a year.

Due to increased cruise itineraries in the Middle East and Asia over the last decade, you might also find a repositioning cruise departing or returning to either of those regions. For example, MSC Cruises offers cruises from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to Genoa, Italy, in April prior to sailing European itineraries in the spring and summer. Just be prepared to be away from home for a long time. The aforementioned sailing lasts about three weeks — a long trek through the Suez Canal, connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, by way of Egypt.

Note: Many cruise lines have canceled or altered their 2024 Middle East itineraries due to unrest in the region.

What happens on a repositioning cruise?

On many repositioning cruises, you will not get off the ship as often as you might on a typical sailing because there are no ports in the middle of the ocean you're crossing. These itineraries often feature a string of sea days, so be prepared to spend more time and money on board.

Some people love port-intensive cruises so they can quickly check off a list of countries and only unpack once. But if you prefer leisurely, lazy days, then a transoceanic repositioning cruise might be your ticket to utopia. This huge stretch of time is a great opportunity to crack open books you've been meaning to read, launch into a knitting project or finally have time for daily workouts.

Programming — such as comedy nights, fitness classes, boutique shopping, art auctions, wine tastings and evening shows — are as much a part of a repositioning cruise as any other sailing, only you might be able to take in a whole lot more than you normally would. Some cruise lines organize themed sailings or invite guest lecturers on board for extra sea day activities.

You also might want to consider springing for a cruise line's all-inclusive beverage package on a repositioning cruise. You'll get better value than usual from the price because you'll be ordering most of your drinks on board due to fewer port stops.

Another worthwhile splurge is a balcony cabin . You'll have easy access to fresh air without the top-deck crowds and can enjoy the romance of gazing out at the seemingly endless ocean. Just be sure to pack a sweater or sweatshirt because shoulder seasons in these climates are not necessarily sunbathing weather.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a repositioning cruise?

When you book a repositioning cruise, you'll likely be on board for at least two weeks, allowing enough time for the ship to sail between where it's currently based and its new home port. Sometimes the voyage can be even longer, and it's likely you won't have more than five or six port stops during that time.

That means lots of days on board, many of them consecutive. It's an advantage for anyone who enjoys relaxing at sea and doesn't mind exploring the ship for days at a time without touching land; it's a disadvantage for anyone who sees cruises as merely transportation to explore new places.

An advantage of repositionings is the price, which is often cheaper than what you'd pay for a round-trip sailing of the same length or which has more port days built into the schedule. However, the cost of the potentially expensive one-way or open-jaw flights needed before and after a repositioning cruise could eat up most of the money you'd save by booking that type of voyage.

Do you need a passport for a repositioning cruise?

Yes. The only time you don't need a passport to cruise is if you're booked on a closed-loop sailing — a voyage that departs from and returns to the same port within the U.S. Since repositioning cruises don't leave from and return to the same port, the exception won't apply, and you'll need a passport in order to board the ship.

Are repositioning cruises cheaper than other cruises?

It depends on the sailings to which you're comparing them, but repositioning cruises are often relatively affordable. Even though repositioning sailings can often be two to three weeks in length, you might find that they're less expensive than a regular weeklong voyage that begins and ends in the same port of call. That's because repositioning cruises offer mostly sea days, during which you'll be enjoying the ship instead of lounging on the beach or exploring museums.

How to score repositioning cruise deals

More often than not, a repositioning cruise is a good deal because it costs much less per night than a typical sailing. This is because the one-way, sea day-heavy itineraries are less desirable to the majority of cruisers, and they take place during slower travel seasons.

Related: 6 ways to get a deal on a cruise

Travelers who live near the embarkation or debarkation ports can save even more by only having to buy a one-way plane ticket rather than a full round trip.

Repositioning cruises can be tricky to find on booking sites. They often are referred to as repositioning cruises or transatlantic or transpacific cruises. When ships reposition between ports in the U.S. and Canada, the one-off one-way itineraries might not be labeled anything special beyond Caribbean or Pacific Coast cruises.

Not all of the cruise line or online travel agency booking pages have an option to check a box and search for repositioning cruises. If you can't find what you're looking for, do an online search for the term and the cruise line you wish to sail. Even better, call a travel agent or the cruise line's booking staff directly, and they can help you find the repositioning cruise that's best for you.

Benefits of Repositioning Cruises

When considering repositioning cruises, you can enjoy the advantages and perks of experiencing multiple destinations while saving time and money. Repositioning cruises are a great option for travelers who want to explore different locations without the hassle of multiple flights or long drives. These cruises are typically offered when cruise lines need to move their ships from one region to another, such as from the Caribbean to Europe.

One of the main advantages of repositioning cruises is that they often come at a discounted price . Since these cruises are not as popular as traditional itineraries, cruise lines offer special deals to attract passengers. This means you can enjoy all the amenities and services of a luxury cruise but at a fraction of the cost. In addition to saving money, repositioning cruises also saves you time. Instead of spending several days traveling between destinations, you can relax and enjoy the journey on board the cruise ship.

Whether it’s the historical sites of Europe or the stunning beaches of the Caribbean, you can experience a diverse range of destinations without the need for separate vacations.

Top Destinations on Galveston Repositioning Cruises

With its crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches, the Caribbean offers a tropical paradise for cruisers. The best time to visit the Caribbean on a Galveston repositioning cruise is during the winter months when the weather is warm and the seas are calm. You can indulge in a variety of activities such as snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, or simply relaxing on the beach. Another popular destination is the Panama Canal.

Tips for Planning a Repositioning Cruise From Galveston

If you’re planning a repositioning cruise from Galveston, consider these helpful tips. Planning strategies and budgeting tips can make a big difference in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. First, it’s important to plan ahead and book your cruise well in advance. Repositioning cruises tend to be popular and can fill up quickly. By booking early, you can secure the best cabin options and take advantage of any early bird discounts.

Next, consider your budget and set a realistic spending limit for your cruise. Repositioning cruises often offer great value for money, as they can be more affordable than traditional cruises. However, it’s still important to factor in additional costs such as gratuities, onboard activities, and excursions. Research the onboard amenities and activities offered on your cruise to ensure they align with your interests and preferences.

When it comes to packing, be mindful of the cruise’s itinerary and the climate of the destinations you’ll be visiting. Repositioning cruises often involves crossing different regions and climates, so pack versatile clothing options to accommodate changing weather conditions. Don’t forget essentials such as sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and any necessary medications.

Finally, take advantage of pre- and post-cruise opportunities in Galveston. This vibrant city has plenty to offer, from beautiful beaches to historic sites and delicious seafood. Consider extending your stay to explore Galveston before or after your cruise.

What to Expect on a Repositioning Cruise From Galveston

Once you board a repositioning cruise from Galveston, you can expect a unique and exciting journey to new destinations. Repositioning cruises offer several benefits that make them a popular choice among travelers. One of the main advantages is the opportunity to visit multiple destinations in one trip. Unlike traditional cruises that focus on one particular region, repositioning cruises allow you to explore different ports of call as the ship relocates to its new homeport. This means you can experience a diverse range of cultures, landscapes, and attractions during your voyage.

Repositioning cruises from Galveston also offer the chance to enjoy a more relaxed and less crowded experience onboard. Since these cruises are not as well-known as traditional itineraries, they tend to attract fewer passengers. This means you can expect shorter lines, more space to move around, and a quieter atmosphere on the ship.

As for the destinations, repositioning cruises from Galveston can take you to various exciting places. Some popular options include the Caribbean islands, Central and South America, Europe, and even transatlantic crossings. These unique itineraries allow you to explore new regions and discover hidden gems that may not be part of the typical cruise routes.

How to Find the Best Deals on Galveston Repositioning Cruises

To find the best deals on Galveston repositioning cruises, start by researching online travel websites. These websites offer a wide range of options and allow you to compare prices and amenities from different cruise lines. Look for websites that specialize in cruise deals, as they often have exclusive offers and discounts.

When searching for affordable options, consider booking your cruise during the shoulder seasons or off-peak times. These periods typically have lower demand and can offer significant savings. Additionally, keep an eye out for last-minute deals, as cruise lines sometimes offer discounted rates to fill up remaining cabins.

To compare cruise lines, look at the itineraries and onboard amenities they offer. Some cruise lines may have more inclusive packages, while others may offer additional perks such as onboard credits or complimentary upgrades. Take the time to read customer reviews and ratings to get a sense of each cruise line’s reputation for service and quality.

Lastly, consider booking your repositioning cruise through a travel agent. They have access to special rates and promotions that may not be available online. Plus, they can provide personalized recommendations based on your preferences and budget.

The Ultimate Guide to Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises for 2022/2023

Whether you’re a perpetual cruiser with RCI Pinnacle Club Loyalty benefits (700 cruise days in the bag and counting!) or a newbie, tentatively dipping your toe into the world of cruising, we have something that should be of interest to you – Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises.

OK, before you click to exit the page or throw out the usual reasons why you would never, ever consider a Transatlantic cruise (limited ports of call, limited dates and the image of it being a floating nursing home), let me tell you a little about the unparalleled benefits of Repositioning Cruises.

Transatlantic/Repositioning cruise bargains

The first thing you’ll notice is that Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises are all very attractively priced.

You can get an inside cabin for $50 per day or less – about half the price of a normal cruise.

There’s a reason for this, and it’s all about supply and demand.

In April, the majority of cruise ships based in Miami, Port Canaveral and Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale (three of the top four busiest cruise ports in the world) move most of their ships away from Florida and the Caribbean.

They head to Alaska, Europe/the Mediterranean, Norway, the Baltic, South America (via the amazing Panama Canal transit), Asia, Sydney and Australasia.

This is to take advantage of the summer cruising opportunities in these more seasonal temperate zones.

Co-incidentally, it also moves most of the cruise ships out of the Caribbean during hurricane season, which runs from 1 June to 30 November each year.

En masse, in a period of about six weeks, you may have a whole flotilla of cruise ships crossing the Atlantic or heading up to Seattle for the summer Alaska cruise season.

Suddenly they need to find tens of thousands of cruisers willing to take a one-way cruise in that narrow window of time.

How do they boost demand?

By offering this glut of luxury cruises at rock bottom prices.

The ships and crew are re-locating anyway so every cabin that is occupied with a paying passenger is a plus.

At the end of the summer cruise season, the whole saga is reversed.

No-one wants to be cruising the Mediterranean, Norwegian Fjords and frozen tundra of St Petersburg in winter, so back the ships sail to warmer winter climes.

These Transatlantic or Repositioning cruises take place mainly in October.

In both repositioning seasons, most cruises remain only partly full, especially on less desirable routes or less popular ports such as Tampa and Galveston, TX.

It’s worth hanging on and picking up a last minute bargain or negotiating a cheeky upgrade if you have already booked an inside cabin and prices have since dropped drastically.

All-inclusive food and drink

While many 7-day cruises call in at a different port every day, Repositioning Cruises may go for 5 days or longer without any land in sight.

Consequently, you will be having all your meals and drinks onboard.

It makes sense to opt for an all-inclusive package to avoid racking up a hefty bar bill.

Often cruise lines offer free all-inclusive drinks packages as a perk for early booking.

Do the math and make provision for eating and drinking more on a Repositioning Cruise than on other types of cruise.

Complete rest and relaxation

Travelers often complain that they need a vacation after enjoying a 14-day trip packed with new places, attractions and must-do experiences.

It can be exhausting!

Not so a Transatlantic or Repositioning Cruise.

You have 11-14 days (depending on your itinerary) to chill out with 3 or 4 ports of call at the beginning and end of your cruise.

That gives you lots of time to sunbathe, read a whole library of books (load up your e-reader with free library books before you leave!), visit the spa and do as much or as little as you choose.

It’s hard to beat a Relocation Cruise when it comes to enjoying a complete rest in luxurious surroundings.

Quality family time

Cruising as a family is a fantastic experience.

Every cruise ship caters for youngsters with supervised activities, special play areas and even accompanied dining in some cases.

Parents can look forward to some adult time together without their young charges.

At other times you can play in the pool, play games or make use of the onboard amenities as a family.

Teenagers often have their own club and activities for hanging out together, but you need to check this is the case on any specific Repositioning cruise you are considering.

Less crowded amenities

Following on from the fact that most Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises are not fully booked, you’ll find that sailing on a cruise ship that is only 80% full has its benefits.

Theater seats are available, buffet dining is more civilized, fitness equipment is readily available and you can easily book an appointment in the spa.

Unlimited luggage

Many people with winter homes in Florida or summer homes in Europe actually use Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises to go to and fro between homes.

The main reason for this is that on a cruise you have virtually unlimited luggage.

I did a Transatlantic cruise once and had a Balcony Stateroom next to a family who were relocating from Tampa to Malaga, Spain.

When we peeked over the railing into their balcony we saw 24 suitcases of all sizes neatly jammed in.

While excess baggage costs a fortune by air, cruise ships are unlikely to turn you away if you arrive with multiple suitcases and bags.

Check the list of what is not acceptable on cruises, including some electrical items or anything with a heater element such as an iron or tea kettle.

I believe bicycles need to be pre-approved and specially packed, but apart from that it seems you can cruise with as much luggage as you can get to the port, as long as you are prepared to stow it in your cabin (or on your balcony!).

The other thing to note is that you do not have to go to the final destination port if you don’t want to.

In the above case, the cruise terminated in Barcelona, but the family got off two days earlier in Malaga, Spain.

There is no refund for the lost days and you must notify the ship of your intention to disembark early.

However, there is no waiting time – just get off after breakfast, hop in a taxi and you’re home and free!

Avoid jet-lag

Another benefit of a Transatlantic Cruise is the fact that you will gradually adapt your natural time clock or Circadian rhythm to the time difference between ports as your cruise.

For example, if you sail from Miami to Rome, there is a 6 hour time difference as Europe is 6 hours ahead of Florida.

If you travel by air, your body has to adapt to this sudden change and your sleep pattern, energy levels, hunger and eating habits can be out of kilter for a week or more.

With Transatlantic Cruises, the ship announces a one hour time change every couple days.

By the time you reach your destination, your body will be fully adjusted to the new time zone.

One-way cruises

Inevitably, Repositioning Cruises are one-way cruises, not out-and-back as in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

Some travelers see this as an advantage; others see it as a negative point. You will need to add the cost of a return flight to get you home.

However, having spent almost two weeks reaching your international destination, it is only sensible to stay a few days and do some sightseeing before flying home.

Many Transatlantic cruises terminate in Barcelona, Rome, Southampton (80 miles from London), Copenhagen (Denmark), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Cork or Dublin (Ireland), Bremerhaven (Germany), Brest (France), Lisbon (Portugal), Mykonos and Athens (Greece).

What better way to arrive in style, fully relaxed and ready to enjoy some walking, shopping and sightseeing before returning home.

What to expect on sea days

Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises do a wonderful job of adding new experiences and enrichment lectures to keep everyone busy on sea days.

You may find a renowned sports personality, naturalist, celebrity chef, travel writer or lecturer who will give a series of talks or presentations on sea days.

Topics can range from travel to nature, stargazing, Reiki, art appreciation, learning to write a novel, beauty and wellness and more.

Activities following popular games shows are also organized, often using the ship’s staff.

Programs such as Masterchef are replicated with daily cookery sessions by volunteer cruisers and staff all competing for the coveted “Masterchef at Sea Apron” or whatever.

They are given a set of surprise ingredients and 30 minutes to make something edible for the judges to sample.

The audience votes on who will be eliminated from the following day’s round.

You’ll find dance classes, bridge classes, cookery demos, casino classes, crafts, art auctions, informative jewelry and watch lectures, wine tasting, quizzes, book reviews, team games, stargazing and other entertainment to keep you hopping from one event to the next every day.

Being part of a daily program makes it easy to meet fellow cruisers with similar interests and make new friends.

Top entertainment

Entertainers often get onboard Repositioning Cruises and spend a few days performing a number of shows before disembarking at the next port.

It ensures a good variety of entertainment and shows that is unrivaled outside Las Vegas, New York or London.

Sit back and enjoy – it’s all included in your cruise price.

Unusual ports of call

Most ports of call on Transatlantic and Repositioning Cruises are on the first and last days of the cruise.

You may stop at Key West or the Bahamas before sailing east across the Atlantic.

On the return journey, many Transatlantic cruises stop at ports along the coast of France and Spain (Marseilles, Barcelona, Majorca, Ibiza, Alicante, Almeria, Cartagena, Malaga and Cadiz before hitting the open sea.

Midway ports of call allow water, fuel and fresh supplies of seafood, fruit and vegetables will be loaded.

These ports include the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, Bermuda and some of the Caribbean or Bahamian islands.

It’s a great opportunity to visit some of the less visited cruise ports and remote islands and enjoy a bracing walk, sports activities, shopping, sightseeing and island tours to break the cruise.

No calls from the office

The great thing about a Transatlantic or Repositioning cruise is that if you choose not to pay the exorbitant fee for onboard Wi-Fi you can be completely off-grid.

No annoying updates from the office; no urgent recalls to work due to a crisis, and no social media.

It can be very liberating.

Of course, if these are things you cannot live without between ports, it’s all available onboard – for a price.

Otherwise you just have to wait for the next port of call and enjoy coffee in a cafe with free internet and do a quick catch-up.

Plan your route weather-wise!

Repositioning Cruises tend to be at the beginning or end of the summer season which can make the weather a little more uncertain.

Oceans can be more choppy in stormy conditions although larger modern-day cruise ships have excellent stabilizers and barely move.

However, you can choose a route that is likely to be sunnier and calmer than other options.

For example, I prefer to sail out of Spain rather than the UK, and then take a cruise that heads south to the Azores and the Southern Caribbean rather than north to Bermuda and then to the Bahamas.

It ensures warmer temperatures for sunbathing and deck walking and calmer seas for your Transatlantic cruise.

Things to Do on a Repositioning Cruise

In order to make sure cruisers have the best possible weather conditions for both their pleasure and their safety, cruise ships institute time limits for cruises to certain regions. For instance, most cruises to Alaska take place from May until September when the weather is warm. When the last Alaska cruise comes to completion, cruise lines don’t just keep their ships empty till May, they sail to a new region of the world. These trips from one destination to another, for instance Alaska to the Caribbean or Europe to the Caribbean, are called repositioning cruises. The most popular of these are transatlantic cruises, featuring plenty of days at sea to enjoy the amenities of your ship. But don't sleep on transpacific cruises, as they explore some of the most secluded, beautiful islands in the world. Featured below are highlights from possible repositioning cruises:

• A stop in Bangkok is sure to leave you with plenty of options for adventure. Spend the day visiting several stunning and intricately designed temples, or go to one of the many tailors in the city who will custom tailor an outfit at an affordable price.  
• Enjoy a fruit market, beautiful colonial era architecture and a museum with traditional African masks in Dakar, Senegal. Make sure to have your camera ready as your tour this fascinating city on Africa’s west coast.  

• Spend an afternoon walking along Las Ramblas in Barcelona where you can try some of Spain’s most tasty treats, like tapas, paella and pintxos. While strolling along this scenic tree-lined pedestrian mall, you'll pass some of Barcelona's most historic buildings and get a better understanding for the city's culture.  
• Visit a Pineapple Greenhouse. Pineapples are a major crop in the Azores, an island chain off the coast of Portugal.  

• Snorkel through a shipwreck off the coast of the petite island of Bermuda on your way to the Caribbean or a cruise port in Florida. The sunken ships beneath the surface of the turquoise waters are home to several bright species of fish.  
• Get your hips moving as you learn to hula during a sunset luau when you visit Honolulu on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

Repositioning: Departure Ports

A repositioning cruise is when a ship moves from doing a lot of sailings in one region to another region. For instance ships that sail in Alaska usually move to a warmer weather spot in the fall. Repositioning cruises offer an extended itinerary with a lot of sea days for relaxing. You can find repositioning cruises year round. You can embark from cities like Sydney, Barcelona, Fort Lauderdale and Buenos Aires among other domestic and exotic ports. 

Boston is home to great sports, great food and loads of history with the Freedom Trail and Harvard.

Cape Liberty, which is just miles from New York City, offers incredible views of the city skyline and easy access to many cruise destinations, along with everything NYC has to offer.

With incredible weather, delicious fare and some stupendous attractions, you will find that Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades is one of the most attractive ports in the entire US.

Reykjavik was just a small village until seeing a major expansion after World War II, but this popular cruise destination still offers a small town feel different than any other European capital.

Singapore, Singapore

Southeast Asia’s most modern city, Singapore, also contains a lot of history and treasures from the past, along with a perfect tropical climate – all making Singapore a wonderful destination year round.

Transatlantic Cruise

About transatlantic cruises and repositioning cruises.

Transatlantic and repositioning cruises are a popular choice for guests looking to explore different destinations as well as getting some of the best cruise deals around. As cruise lines are repositioning cruise ships from one home port destination to another that often translates into great values for the passenger. These exciting voyages occur each year and quite often guests may only need to purchase one-way airfare providing additional savings.

Ships in Europe make their way back to their Caribbean winter home in the late fall and in the spring cross back over to their summer itineraries. Ships which sail the waters of Alaska reposition back to transport guests to the Caribbean at the end of their season. Just like the waterways of the world, cruising is fluid and these delightfully relaxing journeys provide both valuable discounts and wonderful vacations.

Relax and enjoy all of the luxurious amenities offered at sea. Take a well-deserved break from the everyday as you indulge in pampering service, delicious dining options, well-appointed accommodations as well as captivating entertainment and activities for all ages and interests.

Repositioning and transatlantic crossings often visit multiple storied ports and are of various lengths. You may embark on a one week port intensive itinerary followed by a decadent week at sea. In the end the value is exceptional and privileged guests have the pleasure of sailing on favorite itineraries combined with lesser known lovely ports.

There may even be a transatlantic or repositioning cruise departing from a port near you. Call now or book online to receive exclusive rates and special offers on your next transatlantic or repositioning cruise.

Luxurious Spas You can relax and rejuvenate in the spa during your days at sea. Pamper yourself with a facial or sooth your muscles with one of the many massages that are offered. Steam in the thermal suite and enjoy a relaxing manicure or pedicure.

Cruise ship that departed from Port of Galveston among several cruises forced to reroute because of Hurricane Beryl

As Hurricane Beryl continues on its path, several cruise ships have adjusted their routes to steer clear of the storm. Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas,  which departed from Galveston early Sunday, is among those that changed its itinerary. 

Speaking to KHOU 11 News aboard Harmony of the Seas , Houston-area teacher and travel agent Gregory Renoud said he and his wife Jennifer are glad to be out of the storm’s track.

“The beauty of a cruise ship is that it moves, so if there is bad weather, they can move us out of the way,” he said.

When they first boarded the cruise ship, Renoud said that passengers heard an itinerary update that explained the ship’s route would change.

“The cruise director came on the loudspeaker and they told us right in the beginning, ‘here’s the plan, here’s what we’re going with, we’ll tell you if there are any changes,’” he said. 

In a written itinerary update, passengers were told that Harmony of the Seas would make port stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico earlier than planned, instead of stopping in Roatan, Honduras. The itinerary change also allowed for more cruising days at sea.

In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it was making adjustments to the schedules of five different ships for the "comfort and safety" of guests and crews.

After more than 40 cruises, Renoud said he’s dealt with route changes before and he knew it was a possibility this time around.

“The cruise director told us after we’re done with Costa Maya, they’re going to take us north as fast as possible to get us out of the path of the hurricane,” Renaud said. “I’m not too disappointed. A lot of people come on the cruise to see the ports, I have a lot of fun on the ship itself. 

This week, thousands of passengers will experience those routes change on a number of different ships. Major cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Carnival and Disney confirmed to KHOU 11 News Tuesday they are altering certain cruise lines scheduled stops because of Beryl.

As of 4:30 pm Monday, there were at least two dozen cruise ships still docked in the Caribbean or at ports in Mexico, according to CruiseMapper.com. 

As cruise ships prepare to leave the area, Renoud says he’s concerned about the long-term impacts Beryl will have on port cities like Cozumel and Costa Maya that can’t steer clear of the danger.

“That’s a big concern for us, we love supporting the local economy and we’re always worried about them in times like this. If there’s a big storm, it’s almost like it’s happening to your family,” he said.

On Tuesday, the Port of Galveston told KHOU 11 news its officials were also monitoring Beryl’s activities, but it was too early to tell if the storm would impact port operations.
