What is a repositioning cruise and how can it save me money on a cruise?

In simplified terms, a repositioning cruise leaves from one port and returns to another. In other words, this type of cruise doesn't return to the port from where it departed. See, when seasons change, many of the cruise lines change their itineraries.

As an example, Alaska itineraries generally do well during the Spring and Fall but many of those ships will return to warmer climate itineraries for the winter. So, just like birds changing hometowns for the winter, cruise ships will often change homes too depending on the season. Instead of making the reposition without passengers, cruise lines usually offer repositioning cruises during these times at deeply discounted prices.
