8 Widely Held Repositioning Cruise Beliefs Are Wrong. Here’s Why!

Published December 27, 2025


Description

Repositioning cruises promise incredible value — sometimes half the price of a regular cruise — but after doing several of them (including my recent 18-night Silver Nova Alaska–to–Japan repositioning), I’ve realised many cruisers board with expectations that are completely misguided. And those myths guarantee disappointment.

In this video, I reveal the most widely believed repositioning cruise myths that are 100% wrong — and what these cruises are really like.

If you’ve been thinking of booking a repositioning cruise because they’re cheap, relaxing, sunny, or just like regular cruises… this is the video you need to watch before you click “book”.
