Azura Repositioning Transatlantic

Hi guys

I'm thinking of booking the transatlantic repositioning cruise on Azura this October. I'm a bit apprehensive about the sailing conditions on the way over. Can anybody help out with information? It'd be much appreciated.

We have done one in November..December..you are not sailing north Atlantic, you are much further south..usually stopping in materials or Azores..our weather was lovely both ways.

Mon 5 Nov

8.30am south of Lisbon heading southwest towards Madeira 1000 miles from Southampton weather bright but overcast and 16 degrees

We never had any rough seas of note a smooth crossing from start to finish :)

Thank you so much for your information. Seriously tempted with the early saver rate!!!

It's really hard to tell what the weather will be like; we sailed the TA repositioning on Azura in 2013, and the weather was shocking for the first few days. Many passengers suffered sea-sickness, having injections whilst on board, etc. We couldn't go up on deck as the rains were so bad and the ship became quite crowded. But once past the Azores, the weather was more beautiful every day. So, potentially the weather could be rough for the first 3 days, but the payoff comes very soon as you head south. If the price is right for you, go for it!
