How to use the finder

Pick the crossing you are interested in, the region you want to leave from, a month or a cruise line. The list narrows as you choose. Every row links to that sailing on the cruise line’s own website, where you can see today’s fare and cabin availability.

Repositioning sailings cluster in two windows. In spring, roughly March to May, ships leave the Caribbean for Europe and Alaska and cross the Pacific toward Alaska and North America. In fall, roughly September to November, they come back. If you are flexible about the month, set the month filter to “Any month” and look at both windows.

What the list includes

One-way sailings that move a ship between seasonal regions: transatlantic crossings in both directions, transpacific voyages, Panama Canal transits, Hawaii and Pacific coast repositioning, Australia and Asia moves, and the shorter coastal sailings when a ship changes home port. Round trips and river cruises are left out.

We do not list fares. They change daily and differ by cabin, so a price here would be out of date within a week. For what a crossing usually costs per night, see are repositioning cruises cheaper and how to find the cheapest fares.

Questions before booking

When are repositioning cruises?

Mostly in two windows: spring (March to May) when ships move toward Europe, Alaska and North America for summer, and fall (September to November) when they return to the Caribbean, Australia and Asia. The finder groups sailings by month so you can see both windows at once.

How far ahead are repositioning cruises released?

Cruise lines usually open these sailings 12 to 24 months ahead. That is why the finder already shows departures well into next year. Lines also add sailings during the year, so it is worth checking back.

Why doesn't the finder show prices?

Fares on repositioning cruises change daily and vary by cabin, so any price we printed would soon be wrong. Each sailing links to the cruise line's own page, which shows the current fare.

How often is the list checked?

Every sailing was checked on the cruise line's own website on the date shown next to the list. Sold-out sailings often disappear from the lines' search, so a crossing you know about may be missing because it is full.
