Celebrity Cruises offers travellers the unique opportunity to cross oceans from one continent to another onboard its repositioning cruises.
These voyages provide passengers with time to enjoy remarkable ports of call at either end of their journey, complemented by relaxing days at sea to commune with the ocean and indulge in the ship's many activities.
Repositioning cruises occur as ships move with the changing seasons from one sailing area to another. These transitions create exceptional opportunities for travellers to experience award-winning ships while enjoying unrivaled cuisine, service and entertainment as they leave one culture behind and prepare to embrace the next.
Fall repositioning cruises depart Europe for warmer destinations. Passengers might sail from Barcelona around the coasts of Spain and Portugal, visiting Valencia, Cadiz and Lisbon before crossing the Atlantic to Tampa, Florida.
Alternative itineraries break the crossing in Ponta Delgada in the mid-Atlantic Azores and atmospheric Bermuda. Other popular routes include Rome to Fort Lauderdale and Southampton, England to Port Canaveral.
Spring voyages reverse direction, departing from Florida ports, including Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Port Canaveral bound for Europe. These journeys often feature stops at Cartagena, Spain and the island of Mallorca, or visit Gibraltar, Cartagena and La Spezia, conveniently located near Florence and Pisa.
For those seeking different adventures, Celebrity offers fall voyages from Lisbon to South America, stopping at Tenerife in the Canary Islands before tracing the coastlines of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina en route to Buenos Aires.
Pacific Ocean crossings present another exciting option. Repositioning cruises between Hawaii and Australia operate in October and April, departing from either Honolulu or Sydney. These voyages visit lush South Pacific islands including New Zealand's idyllic Bay of Islands, dreamy French Polynesian destinations such as Moorea and Tahiti, and the Hawaiian islands.
Throughout all repositioning cruises, passengers enjoy unlimited entertainment and an impressive choice of dining venues. Days at sea can be spent lounging by outdoor pools, relaxing at indoor solariums, attending fitness classes or indulging in spa treatments. Evenings offer dancing under the stars at rooftop lounges, while Edge-Series ships feature the Magic Carpet for gazing at the ocean's vastness.
These trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific journeys offer timeless experiences where travelers can relax to the rhythm of the waves, enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and indulge in elegant evenings.
Each voyage connects passengers with the sea while immersing them in vibrant onboard life, enhanced by thrilling port experiences that showcase historic European cities, pristine beaches and rich cultures awaiting on both sides of the ocean.
