The Costa Magica, Costa Victoria, and Costa Concordia will reposition from the Mediterranean to South America in November/December, where they will spend the winter of 2009-2010. The Star Princess also will sail to South America, but from Alaska. She repositions in the fall of 2009, sailing down the western coast of the Americas before wintering in South America and Antarctica.
The Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas will reposition from Alaska in mid-September and sail to Australia on two legs, with the first ending in Hawaii and the second in Sydney. The ship will spend the winter of 2009-2010 in Australia and the South Pacific. The Holland America Amsterdam will circle the Pacific in the fall of 2009, also leaving Alaska in September and visiting some of the islands of the South Pacific and Australia before returned to the USA at Los Angeles in early December.
Some ships take "the long route" from Europe back to North America. In October 2009, the Regent Seven Seas Voyager will sail from the Mediterranean to India through the Suez Canal, south to Cape Town, and cross the Atlantic to Brazil before ending up in Fort Lauderdale in mid-December. Several legs of this cruise have multiple sea days.
Another interesting unusual repositioning cruise is the Royal Princess, which sails from Athens in mid-November. After stopping over in several ports of call in the Mediterranean, she heads across the south Atlantic to Brazil and heads up the Amazon to Manaus before ending up in Fort Lauderdale on January 2. Like the Seven Seas Voyager, this lengthy cruise has several legs, most with several sea days.
