Repositioning Cruises Aboard the Dawn, Diamond, Gold, and Grand Princess

Dawn Princess repositioning cruises.

One of Princess Cruise Lines Sun-class vessels, Dawn Princess is small by Princess standards with 1,950 passengers. With popular features like LED Movies under the Stars, a Champagne and Caviar bar, a promenade deck with steamer chairs, and an adults-only Sanctuary, it's a favorite of past passengers.

For most of 2010, Dawn Princess will sail roundtrip from Sydney or Melbourne, calling at ports in New Zealand and Australia. She has just one repositioning cruises in 2010, leaving Sydney on November 7, and calling at Tasmania before disembarking passengers in Melbourne.

If you're flying roundtrip from Sydney, it's a nice way to add Tasmania to your itinerary because it's not hard to get from Melbourne back to Sydney.

Diamond Princess repositioning cruises.

Diamond Princess uses the latest technology to keep its 2,670 passengers entertained. There are 42 LCD video screens in the show lounge, giving everyone the best seat in the house. A golf simulator lets duffers play some of the world's great courses virtually. And the Internet café has 29 stations. When you're ready for some fresh air, try the balcony off the Skywalker Lounge. It has great views.

She offers some of the most exotic of all Princess cruises in Australia and Asia during the winter, then summers in Alaska. There are many places you embark or disembark between February and March, and then again between October and December, so you can almost create your own repositioning cruise.

She sails from Beijing on April 30, 2010 and visits Dalian and Qingdao in China, Pusan in South Korea, and Vladivostok in Russian. She arrives in Whittier, Alaska after a while at sea, and then calls at Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. The cruise ends in Vancouver, British Columbia.

On September 1, 2010, she returns to Asia, operating the Beijing to Vancouver voyage in reverse.

She sails from Bangkok on December 5, 2010 and visits Vietnam, Singapore, and Padang Bay before arriving in Australia, where she calls at Darwin, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach. Passengers can disembark in Sydney, or stay onboard until Diamond Princess arrives in Auckland nine days later. This is a wonderful opportunity to see lots of places in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Golden Princess Repositioning cruises.

Golden Princess is a Grand Class ship with over 700 balcony cabins. It's a good choice for families because there are programs and areas dedicated to kids and teens. And adults have an exclusive Sanctuary spa just for them, as well as nine whirlpools, a Lotus Spa, fitness center, and three show rooms. Sabatini's Italian restaurant and the Painted Desert provide alternatives to the main dining rooms. And the 330-square-foot Movies under the Stars LED screen in the pool area is very popular.

In late spring, Golden Princess repositioning for the Alaska season, leaving Los Angeles on May 9, 2010. She overnights at Catalina Island, and calls at San Francisco and Victoria before ending the voyage in Vancouver. It's a nice getaway up the west coast and very affordable.

In early fall, she returns to Los Angeles, leaving Vancouver on September 26. With two days at sea, passengers have time to relax and enjoy all that Golden Princess has to offer,

Grand Princess Repositioning cruises.

We first went aboard Grand Princess in Barcelona in 1998, the year she launched. Because she was the biggest cruise ship in the world at that time, she caused quite a stir. We cruised on her again in 2008 and she hasn't lost any of her appeal.

Once you're aboard, it's hard to believe that she carries 2,600 passengers because there are lots of quiet spaces where you can get away from it all. If you want to read a good book, enjoy a cappuccino, or just watch the sea, there are plenty of nooks and crannies available.

In early April, she repositions to spend the summer in Europe. She leaves Fort Lauderdale on April 9 and calls at Bermuda after two days at sea. After a day exploring Bermuda, she spends six days on the transatlantic crossing. After the crossing, she visits Glasgow, Dublin, Cork, Cornwall, and Le Havre. The voyage ends in Southampton. Travelers with more time available can stay aboard and explore Seville, Sardinia, Rome, Florence (Livorno), Cannes, Barcelona, and Gibraltar before returning to Southampton.

At the end of the summer season, she leaves Europe to return to the United States. On September 25, 2010 she sails from Southampton and calls at Bergen, the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Nova Scotia before disembarking passengers in Fort Lauderdale. This voyage includes lots of off-the-beaten path destinations that you wouldn't visit any other way. It's a great choice for those who want to go somewhere different. And with ten days at sea, it's relaxing too.
