Travel: Want to save money and spend a lot of time at sea? Consider a spring ‘repositioning’ cruise - Union Leader
One of the great biannual migrations is about to begin as cruise ships leisurely move from their winter homes in the Caribbean to Europe for the summer.
These trans-Atlantic repositioning voyages are a rite of spring. The reverse occurs in the autumn, when vessels flock back to warm Caribbean waters.
It can be tough for lines to sell these longer, shoulder-season voyages.
“A lot of people don’t want to do it because they don’t have the time — 10 or 12 days, of which nine may be at sea,” said Peter Carideo, president of CRC Travel, a luxury specialist in Chicago.
