I want to know the least expensive way to buy a 1 to 3 day transitioning cruise from the major cruise lines.?

Answer 1

It depends on where you are and where you want to catch a cruise to.

In the Northwest several of the cruise lines do small repositioning cruises between Vancouver BC & Seattle, these cruises run 1-3 nights and are normally only in September or May.

In September there are several 1 night cruises from Seattle to Vancouver. There is 1 2 night cruise from Vancouver to San Francisco on Princess, and 1 3 night cruise from Vancouver to Los Angeles on Princess, Then you go to the 4 night and longer cruises.

You can get some real deals on these cruises just by watching them on the search sites regularly. In the spring we had snatched a $39 per person 1 night from Vancouver to Seattle in a Balcony on NCL.

All you can do is keep watching.

These cruises will be on most search engines at Pacific Coast or US Pacific Coast. Repositioning cruises on the East Coast or further south are a little harder to find but you can find them if you search for cruises based on the Embarkation Port.

Answer 2

I have never seen a repositioning cruise that was 1-3 days in length from a major cruise line. But I don't profess to know every line and every repositioning sail.

A repositioning cruise, departs from one port and ends that sail at another. More times than not, it actually extends cruise time, ie., from a 7 day cruise to 8 or more days, etc. and can result in an one of a kind sail. For instance, Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Sea, normally parked in Texas, is respositioning this September. She's doing a couple of one of a kinds on her way to the Orient. A long Panama Canal and then a Hawaiian. Prices on respositioning are usually quite good, especially if you can book when they first open. Good Luck to you.

Answer 3

Repositioning cruise normally takes 15-17 days the most, normally crossing Panama canal.., and it's different from transitioning cruise which is just 2-3 days.., there is even 1 day cruise or "cruise to nowhere" and the cheapest bargain cruise that you may think of, if you just want to experience cruising or how it's like to ride in a boat...

Answer 4

Are you referring to a "REPOSITIONING CRUISE" where they move the ship from its summer itinerary port, for example, NY City, to its winter port, like Miami or San Juan?

If so, those cruises are offered once or twice a year, mostly as one time itineraries. They would be posted on the cruise line web sites.

Answer 5

You aren't going to find one that short.

Answer 6

The only way I know is to monitor when the cruise lines are repositioning their ships.

But here's some help (niffty idea)

It's is a search box that you can save, click the very last link on the bottom.
