The routes
Season changes, ships follow
Transatlantic crossings in spring and fall, Caribbean-to-Mediterranean in April and May, Alaska-to-Asia in the shoulder seasons. One embarkation port, one different disembarkation port, ocean in between.
Repositioning
The ship has to move. So do you.
Twice a year, ships cross oceans to reach their next season — the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, Alaska to Asia. They sell those crossings at per-night prices that never appear in the brochures. This is the industry’s quietest bargain.
What it is
One-way, unhurried.
The value
Per-night, unmatched
Repositioning sailings typically run longer with fewer ports — which is exactly why the per-night fare is lower. More ship, more days, less per day. The arithmetic is the argument.
The honesty
For people who love sea days
Let us be direct: a repositioning crossing means many consecutive days at sea. If your idea of a cruise is a port every morning, this is not your sailing. If you read, rest, and watch the water — this is the best value at sea.
Curated for crossings
Ships that cross well.
Not every ship is built for days at sea. These are.

Queen Mary 2
The last true ocean liner, and the only ship still doing the scheduled crossing. Sea days are the point: planetarium, gala evenings, afternoon tea served properly.
Custom
The crossing that fits your season
Spring eastbound, fall westbound, or a one-way season change with ports you actually want. Tell us the direction and the month — we find the ship.

Questions
Repositioning, explained.
On a transatlantic crossing, five or six consecutive days at sea is normal. Season-change sailings vary more — some include island stops, some do not. We show you the day-by-day before you book, so the sea days are a choice, not a surprise.
One-way flights are the trade. We arrange them — often the crossing plus the flight still costs less than a comparable roundtrip sailing. Open-jaw itineraries are our daily work.
Mainly April and May (west to east, toward the Med summer season) and September through November (east to west, toward the Caribbean winter season). They publish far ahead and the best cabins move early.
