Repositioning Cruises to-from Vancouver BC 2014 Ships Relocation

December 23, 2013 Written by: Chavdar Chanev

Compare here all Alaska repositioning cruises to and from Vancouver BC in 2014 specials. We list here all departures and arrivals of passenger ships offering Vancouver repositioning cruise deals. They all feature an one-way itinerary and sailing destination changes.

Vancouver relocation cruises signify deals on cruise ships arriving to or departing from Vancouver BC (Canada). All these ships will be changing their operational regions for several months. The list of changes associated with these special Vancouver deals includes:

• TRANSPACIFIC relocation of ships leaving from Alaska to Hawaii and Australia, or to Asia (Japan and China) – in Fall, and the reverse in Spring.
• PANAMA CANAL transition of ships leaving from Alaska to California and/or Florida ports, New Orleans, Houston and Galveston Texas – in Fall (the reverse in Spring).
• Ships offering deals on the short Alaskan Fall repositioning cruise Seattle to Vancouver.

Repositioning Cruises to and from Vancouver BC

The shortest and most cheap of all Vancouver repositioning cruises are the Spring deals on ships leaving out of Vancouver to Seattle, and and Fall deals on the reverse route – ships departing from Seattle to Vancouver. The reason for this short transition is that some ships operate during Summer Alaskan cruises leaving from Vancouver BC, while the rest operate this region leaving out of Seattle WA.

The longer itineraries are on repositioning cruises from Vancouver to Australia and the Panama Canal transits to the Caribbean (disembarkation in USA ports). Another set of “Alaska short cruise breaks” includes the so called “Pacific Coastal Cruises”. They are operated by ships leaving from or arriving in California ports, respectively to and from Vancouver, Canada.

All ship relocation cruises to and from Vancouver BC could be perfectly combined with cheap Alaska fly cruise deals. While most of these package deals are operated during the active Summer season, the low-season deals offer discounted air tickets on the regular flights to and from Alaska. Major US airports will give you flight rates which are simply irresistible  if you choose the early Spring or Fall for your Alaska cruise vacation to or from Vancouver.

Offered also as low-season discount specials, Alaskan “cruise and stay” vacation packages in Spring are another “budget prices” option to enjoy this amazing region during the “ships repositioning” times each year. And these are two interesting reading links – one to the Wiki article about Vancouver, and the other one is to the City of Vancouver official website Vancouver.ca. See here some of the main Vancouver City statistics:
