We Took a One Way Cruise... How Does This Work??

Most cruisers take closed loop cruises. This means that you leave from one home port and return to the same port. These are the most common types of cruises and are fantastic! But what if you would like to try something different? Maybe an itinerary that you cannot find sailing from and returning to the same port?
There are several different types of repositioning cruises:
1. Repositioning for the season - many cruise lines move ships to Alaska or Europe in spring for the summer season and back to warmer waters in the fall.
2. Transatlantic or Transpacific cruises
3. Panama Canal cruises - moving from one coast to the other
4. One-time change of home port - cruise ships will get moved to different permanent home ports and there are unique one-time sailings for these
Variety is the spice of life, and these types of cruises can give you these different or even unique experiences.
We recently sailed on Norwegian Jewel for a repositioning from Mexican Riviera itineraries to Alaskan itineraries. So our sailing went up the west coast and we were able to stop in ports that are not traditional cruise ports like Santa Barabara, CA and Astoria, OR. We also had port days in Seattle, WA and Ketchikan, AK. It was a fabulous itinerary!

I did the 24 day repositioning Transpacific cruise from Seattle to Sydney, Australia, last year on the Carnival Splendor as a solo cruiser. It was fantastic. Look forward to doing it again. Certainly recommend it. I'm an Aussie, so I flew Sydney to Seattle then cruised home via Hawaii and Fiji. Met amazing fellow cruisers.

[@EECCTravels]

That sounds amazing!

[@JanetsJourneys]

I am using a travel agent for the first time with Alisa and her associate Lori. They have gone so far above and beyond for me, working with the cruise line and getting me way more than I ever could have imagined that I will NEVER not use them, again! I'm doing a Transatlantic on Princess in November and I absolutely cannot wait!

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks Janet!! You are going to have a great time!

[@susananderson618]

Same where with our experience booking with Alisa!

[@PatrickWagz]

I love repositioning cruises. Did a 17-night Panama canal.... left NYC, through the canal, and ended in Los Angeles. Also, transatlantic 15-night..... left NYC ended in Rome, Italy.

[@webcreatrix]

I am SO EXCITED to sail from Galveston to Puerto Rico on the Disney Magic! Adults only, no less!

[@ddaymusic9722]

The best people to travel with are these two- AWESOME!!

[@EECCTravels]

Awe thank you Dave!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@bethhalsey7627]

Hey alisa, parodeejay just did a cruise from Hawaii to Alaska.

[@EECCTravels]

I saw that! I want to do that itinerary one day!

[@lisawright5674]

My husband and I have done several West Coast repositioning cruises both at the beginning and end of the Alaska cruise season. We love having the option for a quick 3-5 day getaway, and being from Seattle, it's really convenient. We generally take the train up to Vancouver, sail down to one of the California ports (LA, SF, or SD), and then fly home. So much fun!

[@julieb7882]

I did Hawaii to Alaska last year. It was wonderful. Going on a transatlantic this fall. It appears the ship is heading to drydock after this cruise. Royal and possibly others will reposition ships from Boston to carribean.

[@aussiejohn5835]

I did a Transpacific cruise in 2019 from Vancouver BC to Sydney Australia for a total of 35 days on Ruby Princess as a solo cruiser. The ports were amazing and not to intensive with sea days scattered throughout the cruise. We also visited New Zealand, Hawaii, Tahiti and American Samoa. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who has the time. The return flights to the US and Australia (depending on your direction of travel) can be as much as 21hrs but is well worth it.

[@EECCTravels]

That sounds absolutely amazing!!

[@tjme]

That sounds like the trip of a lifetime!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I really liked that cruise you & Jason experienced with the whales, rockfish, enjoying Seattle. Astoria, & Ketchikan. Very inviting.

[@cynthiawilliams1474]

This is very helpful I've heard about these cruise but didn't understand how it works. Thank you!

[@gisme4648]

Love repositioning cruises. As an Aussie, we regularly do Asia or US to Australia (or vice versa) cruises. Next one for us is in October, Hawaii to Brisbane on Quantum of the Seas. The islands of the Pacific are stunning.

[@gerardacronin334]

Another type of one way cruise is offered by the smaller “luxury” lines. For example, in July 2023 I cruised from Reykjavik to Dublin on Azamara. I used frequent flyer miles to get to Reykjavik and spent two very enjoyable days there before the cruise, which sailed all around Iceland, then to the Faroe Islands, the Isle of Skye in Scotland, Belfast (think Titanic) and then sailed right into the centre of Dublin. My goals were to visit Iceland and Ireland, so this itinerary was perfect for me. I bought a one way ticket home from Dublin. I’m going to Australia and New Zealand in 2024 and incorporating a repositioning cruise from Honolulu to Sydney into my itinerary. I love repositioning cruises when they take me where I want to go. Of course I’m retired and have the time for slow travel. It’s wonderful.

[@tonijohnson6335]

We've done a few TransAtlantic cruises from Europe back to the U.S. Next year we're doing a TransAtlantic to Europe. We love these cruises. Very relaxing with all the Sea Days. We've also done the Repositioning cruises along the Pacific Coast. Lots of fun! Usually a good bargain!

[@dianaschulz6593]

Great video. Alisa, you did a wonderful job explaining the different repositioning cruises.

[@sandym4875]

We are going on a repositioning cruise in September from Tampa Florida to Boston via the Southern Caribbean. Can't wait! Great video as always. Your upbeat attitude is inspiring!

[@EECCTravels]

Awe thank you 😊

[@nildamager1649]

Meeting the newest Regent ship in Barcelona this year and crossing to Miami 😲

[@rick4wade]

In 2015 we did a repositioning cruise from New Jersey to Galveston. It is stillmour best cruise yet. 13 night cruise on Liberty of the Seas. San Juan, St Thomas, St Maarten, Curacao and Cayman. Great islands. We flew into New Jersay a couple of days early to spend time in New York. We live near Galveston so it was fun to sail back home. We love repositioning cruises.

[@barbaracameron5610]

Im taking a cruise seattle to sydney. One way. Never been to sydney!! Excited. Flights are expensive.

[@JulieBeeAdventures]

Thank you for clarifying repositioning cruises😊

[@katycantu]

Vacations Togo has an option for repositioning cruises. After watching this video I’m looking at them and some are so cheap and amazing!!! Wow hope to do one some day

[@joycegreer9391]

Those cruises sound great!

[@lynnfranklin5098]

Prices are great and unique itineraries. Of course Vancouver to Whittier is not a reposition but awesome love ❤️ these. Look at Princess pacific wine coast reposition not a big cruise excursions but winery and breweries AWESOME

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Darn it now I want to do a repositioning cruise. I found your videos and you are putting ideas in my head.

[@Beachdudeca]

There are also #Alaska cruises that Start or End at Seward Alaska and connect to Seattle and or Vancouver, these tend to run about 7 days

[@InMyCruisingEra]

I’m doing a short 3 day one way from San Juan PR to Fort Lauderdale on the Disney Dream this November

[@nonaloeffler308]

I am glad you had fun in our towns here on the coast of California I live near all of them and have been there and done that. I probably would not have done that one. Most of them are the ricy people area. If you ever do come back to California you need to go to Morrow Bay ( not a cruse area) Pismo Beach and Solvang it is a Swedish town it is a wonder.

[@carinolsson5544]

As a Swede: Solvang is Danish!

[@dianacarragher5845]

Living in Australia we often do one way voyages our last one was Singapore to Sydney on Ovation of the Seas being so far away from other countries we also have sailed to Southamption beats a 22hr flight

[@lauraharris8991]

We have 3 booked for 2024. First is Luminosa’s 31 day cruise in April from Brisbane to Seattle with port stops in Guam, Japan, and Alaska. Second is Panorama’s 18 day in August from Long Beach to Tokyo with port stops in Alaska and Japan. We are thinking we will spend a month touring (starting to plan now) because the third is Panorama’s 25 day in October from Singapore to Long Beach with port stops in Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and Hawaii. We are very excited about these!

[@EECCTravels]

Wow! These will be amazing trips!!

[@lindastover9541]

Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@scottdial.45]

Fantastic video! So informative! We definitely want to do a repositioning cruise some day. BTW, we are really liking Sarah Mitchell from your travel agency team. She is awesome!

[@JustinMorales796]

I always try to find these. The ones that I have found there is no solo supplement typically which is a plus for me. I do have nothing booked this fall/winter 🤔🤔🤔

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

That would be so much fun

[@lorettachapman4244]

Great information!!

[@EECCTravels]

Have you ever been on a repositioning cruise? If so, what kind? If not, are you interested in doing one? Playlist from our repositioning cruise on NCL Jewel from San Diego to Vancouver: kzbin.info/aero/PLuDj8DwQeesuTHQS-ibxP6hPq-x0jtrPX

[@johnburnett1974]

In your opinion. What do you think would be better on a Panama cancel cruise. Going out of Miami to Los Angeles or Los Angeles to Miami. We live in the southeast.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Lovley video. 🥰

[@jaimehoyuela20]

It’s super difficult to find a trip from Honolulu to California. We live in Honolulu and don’t really like to fly. Any tips?

[@luciejackson2164]

What are the one way cruises considered? Like Vancouver to Anchorage?

[@patriciawiener2293]

We’re cruising from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale in November. Flying to Spain and spending a week, then sailing home. Love sea days, so looking forward to the experience. AND great value too (Viking)

[@EECCTravels]

Love it!! We need to add a TA cruise to our travel plans!

[@DiGeraghty]

I'm going to Alaska at the end of the season again. I saw your cruise to late. I did Celebrity once and did some of the same ports in 2014. Loved the Astoria column and we could see 5 mtns Question: How much time did you have in Ketchican? My cruise in Sept we only have 4 or 5 hrs in Ketchikan.

[@EECCTravels]

If you sail from Vancouver you get a full day. From Seattle it’s shorter because you have a stop in Victoria.

[@smiller2956]

QUESTION: did you have a flight problem due to NCL doing the booking? We have one coming up that 2nd guest is free airfare and are concerned that NCL will book the cheapest flight available without regard to layover times, etc. Did you have that experience?

[@EECCTravels]

There were no problems at all with the flights NCL booked… the issue was completely with American Airlines…

[@salliestewart4713]

Are their excursions (ship) in the state stops or all on your own

[@EECCTravels]

Yes you have excursion options in all ports.
