We are currently investigating the details for this cruise.  It is known as a repositioning cruise.  This is where cruise lines typically are moving their ships from one major area to another for the upcoming season.  In this case the Ruby Princess is being moved north as she will be conducting Alaskan cruises during the summer months.  Repositioning cruises are attractively priced.  We would fly to LAX one day early, arriving on Saturday, April 6, setting sail the next day. 

It is also a great time as next year Easter weekend is March 29 to April 1. By April we are all tired of winter, but we know there will be a snow storm or two during the first half of April.  

If we have peaked your interest, please call the office and leave your name.  We will send the trip details in May 2023.
