Featured Cruise: One-Way Cruises From Barcelona

norwegian-epic-le-bistroWhile most cruises start and end at the same port, there are also hundreds of one-way cruises scheduled every year.  In general, there are two types of one-way cruises: “repositioning cruises” (when a ship is being moved to a new home port) and cruises that are pieces (or “legs”) of longer cruises.  There are lots of both kinds of one-way cruises that depart from Barcelona – we currently know about cruises that end in 27 different destination cities.

Because most of the ships that cruise the Mediterranean Sea don’t do it year-round, there are one-way repositioning cruises to and from Barcelona every year.  The Med cruise season ends in the Fall, so you’ll find quite a few cruises in October and November that move ships from Barcelona to southern U.S. ports such as Fort Lauderdale, Galveston, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa.  These Trans-Atlantic cruises vary in length, with some that visit cities in southern Europe before heading across the ocean.  They’re a great way to spend a lot of time on a popular ship like Norwegian Epic.

norwegian-epic-sports-complexUnlike Caribbean cruises that usually only involve one major port, ships that cruise the Mediterranean usually make large, looping voyages that visit several popular ports.  Guests can choose to make the entire round-trip circle or end their cruise elsewhere.  Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona can end in Civitavecchia (near Rome), Istanbul, Piraeus (near Athens), Venice and other cities on the Mediterranean Sea.
