Repositioning Cruise Schedule for Spring 2010
Repositioning Cruise Suggestions for Spring 2010

By , About.com Guide

The repositioning season for 2010 starts in the early spring when ships in South America head back north. The Radiance of the Seas will sail from Valparaiso to San Diego in mid-March as she moves towards Alaska for the summer. Other ships that have wintered in South America and will cruise Alaska in the summer such as the Norwegian Sun will follow in April 2010. Ships who have wintered in the Caribbean will sail through the Panama Canal on their way to Alaska. These include the Zaandam, Celebrity Millennium, Statendam, and Amsterdam.

The Wind Surf raises her sails in Barbados and crosses the Atlantic for the summer season on March 21, and passengers will enjoy two whole weeks at sea before arriving in Lisbon. The Oceania Regatta sails from Miami for Europe the same day, stopping in Madeira and Morocco before disembarking in Barcelona after a 14-day cruise.

Four interested repositioning cruises in April 2010 include the MSC Sinfonia from South Africa to the Mediterranean; Rhapsody of the Seas from Sydney to Honolulu; Norwegian Spirit from New Orleans to Boston via Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda; and the Brilliance of the Seas from Dubai to Barcelona via the Suez Canal.
