Royal Caribbean transatlantic repositioning cruises in fall 2010.
Posted by Cruises on 23 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Royal Caribbean repositioning cruises, Trans-Atlantic Repositioning Cruises
Royal Caribbean has five ships sailing in the Mediterranean in the summer of 2010. All five ships return to spend the winter in the Caribbean or Southern Hemisphere. So there are five transatlantic repositioning cruises on Royal Caribbean to choose from this fall.
Because Royal Caribbean’s ships offer so much, they’re great for repositioning cruises. There’s never a shortage of things to do and see on these ships. And with fares starting as low as $499 for 14 nights, these are fantastic cruise deals.

Adventure of the Seas
Navigator of the Seas is an especially good choice for cruisers who like to play sports and stay fit. Passengers can ice skate, play golf, basketball or volleyball, in-line skate, or work out in the fitness center. Afterwards, the spa is the perfect place to relieve sore muscles.
When it’s time for dinner, Portofino Italian restaurant and Chops Grille are alternatives to the main dining rooms.
Navigator of the Seas leaves Rome on Saturday, October 23, 2010 and calls at Toulon, Barcelona, Cartagena, Malaga, and Tenerife before crossing the Atlantic. She arrives in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, November 6, after a week at sea. This is a nice itinerary for cruisers who want to see some Mediterranean ports before relaxing and enjoying the many amenities Navigator has to offer.
A sister ship of Navigator of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas sails on Sunday, November 7, 2010, from Barcelona, Spain. She visits Cartagena, and then has a day at sea before calling at Funchal in Madiera and La Palma in the Canary Islands. These are interesting ports you’re not likely to visit unless you’re on a cruise. She spends the next six days at sea, and then visits Nassau in the Bahamas. She arrives in Galveston, Texas on Sunday, November 21, after two more days at sea. With a total of nine sea days, there’s plenty of time to unwind on this voyage.
The 1,800-passengers Splendour of the Seas is small by Royal Caribbean standards. In fact, she carries about 1,300 passengers fewer than Navigator. But there’s still plenty do with a fitness center, solarium with retractable roof, and 18 hole mini golf course.
Splendour of the Seas sails from Barcelona on November 27, 2010, which is the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Port visits before crossing the Atlantic include Cadiz, Lisbon, and Tenerife. She spends six days making the crossing before arriving in Salvador, Brazil. She spend one more day at sea before calling at Rio de Janeiro. Passengers disembark the next day, December 12, in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Adventure of the Seas entertains its 3,114 passengers with an ice-skating rink, rock-climbing wall, and full-sized basketball court. Johnny Rockets 1950s-style hamburger restaurant is a fun alternative to the dining rooms and buffet. And the 15,000-square-foot spa offer a wide selection of health and beauty treatments.

The Royal Promenade
On Sunday, November 28, 2010, Adventure of the Seas leaves Barcelona, and calls at Toulon, Ajaccio in Corsica, Palma de Mallorca, and Cartagena. After a day at sea, she visits Grand Canary Island on Saturday and Tenerife on Sunday. A week later, on December 12, she arrives in San Juan, Puerto Rico where passengers leave the ship.
One of Royal Caribbean’s first Vision Class vessels, Vision of the Seas has a soaring atrium lobby that’s flooded with natural light. It’s a bright ship with many floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights. The indoor, solarium pool adjacent to the spa and fitness center lets passengers enjoy some pool time whatever the weather. And the two-story dining room is especially attractive.
Some of the inside cabins have windows that overlook the Promenade — Vision’s café and boutique-lined main street.
Vision of the Seas leaves Lisbon on November 30,2010 and calls at both Grand Canary Island and Tenerife before crossing the Atlantic. Six days later, she arrives in Recife, Brazil. She has a sea day, a port call at Salvador, another sea day, and a port call in Rio before disembarking passengers in Sao Paolo on December 14.
