Repositioning Cruises - Fall 2010
Repositioning Cruises Are Often a Great Cruise Bargain

By , About.com Guide

The most popular fall repositioning cruises are those from the Europe to the Caribbean or from Alaska to the Caribbean through the Panama Canal. Some cruise ships also reposition to Asia from the Mediterranean by sailing through the Suez Canal, while others cross the Atlantic to South America. All of these repositioning cruises are usually 10 days or longer, and most feature numerous days at sea. Most represent excellent bargains for the cruising public. They also represent a good opportunity to try a new ship for a relaxing sea voyage. (Note that these lists may not be all-inclusive. Check with your travel agent or favorite cruise line for more repositioning cruises.)
