Cruises with Lots of Sea Days - any suggestions?

[BayCalif-Ariz R Us]

We're interested in December 2007 and 2008 cruises that have

more-than-usual days at sea - respositionings, etc. Is anyone else looking for them - would love to hear some suggested cruises or the best way to find them.

LA/Hawaii/LA... 15 day cruise with 8 sea days.

We love sea days, and have done several trans-Atlantics and trans-Pacifics.

 

Trans-Atlantics are usually found in the Europe brochure, and trans-Pacifics

in the Australia/New Zealand & Asia brochures.

 

Some of the cruises 'round Cape Horn, found in the South America brochure also have several sea days.

 

We also recently completed a 25 night cruise on Oceania's Nautica, Istanbul to Singapore through the Suez Canal, that had several (a dozen or so) sea days.

Transatlantic or Transpacific cruises would probably be your best bet. I'd love to end a port intensive cruise like the Med with a TA in order to rest up, and avoid that long and miserable flight back home.

The Princess transPacific on Dawn in Sept 2008 opened up recently. You can find other long cruises at:

I presume this is the Jan 2, '08 cruise. Yes, we saw that one - definitelythe right idea. We do want to stay on Princess as we're lurching toward that all important platinum (or is elite better?) status. Sometimes they will split the very long (23+day) cruises into smaller segments. We recently lucked out on a repositiong Galveston/Rome cruise. The first 16 days had a lot of sea days and was very reasonably priced. If you tacked on the final 7 days in Europe you paid a whopping price.

Try taking a cruise out of NYC to the Caribbean, usually 4 sea days on a 9 night cruise!!

I'm taking one on the crown in august and i cant wait for the sea days:D

Thank you - I should add one more thing - we're only looking for 15+ day cruises.

We booked on the Star princess leaving from Rome with 10 ports and 7 sea days (6 of them in row). Princess just dropped the price of this cruise and looks to be a great bargain.

 

We have a roll call at;

It does meet your December and at least 15 days requirement

Charter a yatch...seems like that is the one way to get the exact itinerary you want! ;)

Without looking at specific itineraries, I can suggest a repositioning to/from South America for that season (generally Nov/Dec and Mar/Apr). These are great, long cruises with ports that are likely to be new to you.

Take a look at Royal Princess November 28, 2007, 24 nights Rome to Fort Lauderdale with 13 sea days. Also Pacific Princess in 2008 which can be done as a 21 day from Venice to Manaus with 12 sea days starting Nov 28th, or a 31 day from Athens to Manaus with 15 sea days starting Nov 16th. Then you could add at 14 day from Manaus to Fort Lauderdale with another 5 sea days.

Hi,

 

Alan & Denise- I will be on the August, 2008 cruise from Southampton to New York. Only 14 days - visiting Norway, Iceland and Greenland. Princess has added a few new stops on this cruise to make it a bit different. With it being in the 90's here now, I will be looking forward to traveling somewhere with colder weather. Presently it is a good price and should improve. I doubt it will compare with our Galveston to Rome pricing.

Thanks Roundabout but don't have a clue what a 'yatch' is:confused: - maybe it's Canadian for dinghy?:D

Great to see Cactus Rose and Jacki on this site. Thank you to VAmembergs for the heads up on the Rome-FLL cruise on the Star. We've got our reservation in! Terrific price right now and might go lower by the time we actually have to pay.

Thank you to everyone who's responded to this thread!
