Repositioning comes into play when cruise ships shift their home ports from one region to another, often in response to seasonal changes. This transition allows travellers to embark on longer cruises with ample sea days and diverse port calls, creating a perfect balance of tranquillity and exploration. Unlike traditional round-trip cruises, repositioning cruises allow for a broader range of destinations, spanning different continents and oceans in a single voyage. Repositioning cruises are distinguished by their length, typically spanning 13 to 19 nights. These voyages incorporate several days at sea, fully immersing passengers in the cruise experience. The extended duration and unique itineraries make these cruises ideal for those who enjoy sea days and have the flexibility for longer vacations.
