 <\/p>\n

September is typically a good time of year to explore re-positioning cruises\u2026either last-minute cruises this fall or the reverse trips that depart next spring.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t everybody like the price-point that comes with ships that have to get from one part of the world to another? We do. Better bang for your buck\u2026always.<\/p>\n

However, there’s a few things you need to know \u2014 if you don’t already \u2014 about re-positioning cruises;<\/p>\n

One, remember to factor into your budget the cost of traveling to or from the ship. These are not return cruises.<\/p>\n

Two, you need time for a re-positioning cruise. They are longer than most cruises and there’s additional travel time required to get there, or back.<\/p>\n

Three, most have\u00a0an abundance of sea days. While we’ve never been bored, it’s always a possibility. If you’re worried about running out of things to do, or books to read, consider going on a larger ship that has more amenities.<\/p>\n

From three cruise lines, here are three re-positioning cruises on which you might get the double benefit of being “last-minute” because they all leave this fall, and they’re in\u00a0different parts of the globe:<\/p>\n

Norwegian<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Copenhagen<\/a> to Miami<\/a>, 14 days on the Norwegian Star<\/a>, on October 6 and starting at $419 \u2014 that’s an incredible $29 per night.<\/p>\n

Holland America<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Vancouver<\/a> to Sydney<\/a>, 24 nights on the Veendam<\/a>, on September 24 and starting at $1,499 \u2014 that’s $62 a night.<\/p>\n

Royal Caribbean<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Boston<\/a> to Tampa<\/a> (extended trip through the Caribbean), 13 nights on Brilliance of the Seas<\/a>, on October 26 and starting at $1,237 \u2014 $95 a night.<\/p>\n
