Most of the main cruise lines offer Repositioning Cruises which you can sometimes pick up at a bargain price. These one-off bargain cruises are sometimes not called repositioning cruises but you may find them in the brochures under such names as Westbound Voyage, Eastbound Voyage or even Transatlantic Crossing.
Repositioning cruises usually sail in the spring and autumn and as well as transatlantic cruises you can get some really good cheap cruises visiting Africa, the Caribbean, the East coast of the USA, the Panama Canal and South America. Some brochures have repositioning cruises listed as world cruises, but it doesn’t really matter because they all offer a wonderful chance to see the world.

The ship sailed directly from the naming ceremony held in the port of Monte Carlo last week to London. The ship is to be the world’s first ultra-luxury expedition ship.
“It is indeed a wonderful sight to see this morning, our Prince Albert II sailing under Tower Bridge, with all the crew proudly escorting her into London to welcome their first guests,” said Lefebvre. “It is our aim that this ship will not only offer guests the highest level of comfort and service, but also enlighten them to the rarity and beauty of the most remote places on earth.”
Added Perasso, “In keeping with the environmental work of our ship’s namesake, we are delighted to announce that Silversea has signed an agreement to support the Prince Albert II Foundation, whose aim is to highlight and take tangible action to protect and preserve the most vulnerable inhabitants and landscapes on Earth.”
Prince Albert II weighs in at just 6,072 gross tons and accommodates a total of 132 guests making it an intimate and luxurious cruise experience.
