Are there any one-way cruises?

Quick question, besides TA crossings, are there any one-way cruises? For example, are there any cruises that depart the US and end in Mexico, or are there only return trips? TIA.

There are any number of one-way cruises, for example, in the Med: it's not unusual at all to find cruises from Barcelona to Rome or from Athens to Venice.

 

However, you won't find many one-way cruises in the Caribbean because these cruises are heavily booked by people who do not have passports. In order to get around that, the cruises have to be a round-trip that begins and ends at the same US port.

 

I'm not saying there aren't ANY, as there may be the odd segment of a longer cruise -- more likely to find that on one of the upscale lines.

They exist for some New England, Alaska and Panama Canal cruises too.

Lots of one way cruises. Lots and lots.

Repositioning Cruise's.

South American cruises are typically one way. You can board these in Miami and sail to Rio for example stopping along the way on various islands and then ports in South America. Northern Europe cruises are sometimes one way and river cruises are usually one way.

There are plenty of one-way cruises. But one ways to the Caribbean are quite rare (there are some one-ways to San Juan). We often use one-way repositioning cruises to and from Europe and have also used them to cross the Pacific, go between Italy and Istanbul, and go from Argentina to the USA. Keep in mind that many of these repo cruises are somewhat longer then a typical 7 day cruise. For example, going from Seattle to Sydney, Australia took us about a month :).

I've only ever taken 1 round-trip cruise, and that was over 40 years ago!

There are lots of them. Examples that we have been on, all 14 night cruises:

 

Valparaiso, Chile to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Singapore to Hong Kong.

Barcelona to Venice.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to San Diego, Calif.

 

There are some that start in Florida and end in Brazil, or start in Brazil and end in Florida. And others that start in California and end in Chile, or start in Chile and end in California.

Thanks people, will look into some of the cruises you mentioned.

I like the one from BC, Canada to Hawaii or vise versa.

There are also some 1 way cruises in Alaska.

Like Vancouver to Seward and vice versa on HAL.

Other cruise lines have similar versions.

There are many one-way cruises in the shoulder season to/from Alaska and the Caribbean.

There are also one-way Hawaiian cruises. For example I did San Diego to Honolulu.

Bet that cruise actually boarded in Ensenada after a bus ride!

[Roz]

Yes, it did. I was on the Carnival Spirit.

Funny but I was pondering this with my wife just a week ago - this next cruise (5th for us) will only be the 2nd where we return to the port we departed from. Two TAs and a NB Alaska were all one-way. It was interesting coming back to San Juan from the So. Caribbean itinerary.

We haven't been on a round trip cruise in many many years. In fact we choose some cruises primarily for the different start/end ports so that we can extend our vacation and get the most out of that international airfare or (in the case of our preferred line) air credit.

Great example: we're doing a TransPacific in 2018. So the only airfare bite is on the one way long haul from SFO to Sydney. Did the same this past summer: SF to NYC Panama Canal. After the air credit, two air tix back to CA cost us about $10 each.
