Repositioning cruises are where Royal Caribbean shifts ships between seasons — and you get the benefit. Fourteen nights to Spain and Portugal for £1,099 per couple works out to £39 per person per night. That's the sort of rate you chase.
The deal
Explorer of the Seas, 14 nights, departing Port Canaveral 26 April 2027. Two adults, inside cabin, full board included. That's £1,099 total — or roughly £39.25 per head per night.
Why we like it
Repositioning cruises pack serious value because the ship's simply getting from A to B anyway. You're paying for the moving, not the luxury markup. Full board cuts out decision fatigue and surprise costs. The Explorer has a surfing simulator and ice rink if you're the type to actually use those things.
One catch: you're committed to 14 nights. You can't dip in for a week. Also, these sailings tend to be heavier on sea days and lighter on ports — check the actual itinerary before committing. And April 2027 is a year away, so prices and availability could shift.
How to book
Head to Seascanner and search for this sailing. You'll see the Explorer of the Seas option with the full itinerary — that's where you'll spot exactly which ports you're calling at and how many days at sea you're actually looking at. Royal Caribbean's site will have it too if you want to book direct.
