Iceland 2025?
By cruisePAC , November 11, 2023 in Royal Caribbean International
Recommended Posts
We were planning on booking a cruise to Iceland in 2025. In 2024, RC has two cruises to Iceland (Iceland & Scotland and Iceland & Ireland), both departing from Amsterdam. I don't see a cruise to Iceland in 2025. Am I missing it? Is Royal Caribbean not planning to have cruises to Iceland in 2025?
Thanks for your help.

If you follow the deployment thread you will see discussion about this. It is being speculated that Jewel will be returning to Amsterdam and that that is yet to be released.
Thank you! I'll check there.

There will also be the Brilliance TA via Iceland and Greenland, in August 2025 but that’s not on sale yet either.

Cruise lines such as AIDA Cruises , Azamara Cruises , Carnival Cruises , Celebrity Cruises , Costa Cruises , Crystal Cruises , Disney Cruises , Holland America , MSC Cruises , Norwegian Cruises , Oceania Cruises , P&O Cruises , Princess Cruises , Regent Cruises , Royal Caribbean , Silversea Cruises , and Viking Cruises others offer itineraries that visit Iceland in February 2025.

Iceland Cruise Schedule February 2025
The best time to visit Iceland is during the summer months from June to August, when the days are long, offering ample time to explore and witness the wildlife and natural beauty. During these months, you may experience the unique phenomenon of the Midnight Sun. The milder temperatures also provide the best conditions for outdoor activities and excursions. However, for those wishing to witness the Northern Lights, cruising in the early spring or late autumn is recommended.

REPOSITIONING CRUISES
ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE 2024-26 GUIDE
When it comes to planning the ultimate getaway, there are so many reasons why cruise vacations rank among the most popular travel options. First of all, they’re completely stress-free. On a cruise vacation, all the planning is taken care of by the cruise line — from the destinations you sail to and the shore excursions available at each port, to a full range of entertainment and activities happening onboard every day. If you’re not a planner, or if the only things you’re looking to focus on during your getaway is savoring great food, relaxing, and soaking up the sights, cruise vacations are the way to go. A cruise vacation is also a great option if you’re traveling with the whole family, especially when you opt for a Royal Caribbean cruise. All of the ships in this cruise line’s fleet offer family-friendly experiences for guests of all ages. Even little ones will find plenty of ways to play with spaces and activities designed for tots to tweens. One of the top reasons savvy travelers love cruising, though, is because of the incredible value it offers. With Royal Caribbean, your cruise fare includes access to most of the ship’s attractions, select dining venues and all of the entertainment onboard. If you want to make your experience even more all-inclusive, you can opt for beverage and specialty dining packages that cover drinks and dinner at some of the most exclusive restaurants in the fleet. On top of all that, the cruise line presents frequent limited-time offers and seasonal sales, making it easy to score big savings when booking your vacation.

Are repositioning cruises right for you.

Transatlantic crossings are a common form of repositioning cruise.
Transatlantic and other lengthy, ocean crossings once defined sea travel, but in modern times only one true ocean liner remains. Aside from Cunard’s Southampton to New York service, travelers seeking a transatlantic cruise are mostly left with world cruises or lengthy grand voyages, but there is another option.
Embarking on a repositioning cruise offers a travel adventure far removed from the traditional cruising experience. Sailing across vast oceans from one continent to another at a reduced fare is a tempting prospect, but such trips are not for everyone.
The concept of a repositioning cruise is simple. Most cruise lines spend parts of the year in different regions, for example Alaska or the Mediterranean in the summer and the Caribbean in the winter.
Rather than sail between the regions empty, cruise lines maximize usage of their ships by selling one-way trips known as repositioning cruises, often at big discounts on their usual fares.
Often overlooked by the casual traveler, repositioning cruises present an opportunity for those seeking a blend of relaxation, extended days at sea, and the excitement of ports of call less commonly found on itineraries, all at a reduced price.
But before rushing in to book one, look carefully at the details of what’s on offer.
Good Deals, With A ‘But’

When comparing price per day, repositioning cruises offer some of the cheapest fares at sea.
For example, Celebrity’s 14-day Tampa to Barcelona itinerary in March 2024 is available from approximately $750 per person. Going in the other direction, this 12-day Southampton to Miami itinerary from Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) sets sail in December 2024, starting at under $1,000 per person.
Repositining can mean more than just transatlantic routes, too. Royal Caribbean’s 7-day Boston to Puerto Rico itinerary in November 2025 is also available for under $100 per person, per day.
Although the fares are lower than comparable cruises, the one-way nature of the trips means additional travel costs. One-way flights are rarely a bargain, so be sure to factor in the cost of air travel (if required) before assessing the value of a deal.
Cruise lines may offer flights as part of a repositioning cruise deal. Even so, it’s worth consulting with a cruise-specialist travel agent who may be able to find a better deal.
Lots Of Sea Days
Even if you find a great deal on flights, a low fare might not be reason enough to book a repositioning cruise. The most common issue for some people is the high number of consecutive days with no port calls, known as sea days.
The beauty of endless ocean views comes with the reality of limited port calls and land excursions. If you prefer frequent stops and exploring new cities daily, this might be a drawback.
That’s not to say you’ll be bored. From theater shows and live music to trivia and gameshows, Repositioning cruises generally have all the facilities and entertainment options on offer on regular cruises.
Because of the high number of sea days, it’s worth studying the cruise ship in detail before you book, as the ship will essentially be your destination.
A cruise with so many consecutive sea days is generally not recommended for first-time cruisers who may not yet know how they’ll deal with any potential movement of the ship.
Limited Times Of Year
Another factor that puts people off joining a repositioning cruise is the time of year. These cruises are not available year-round.
By their very definition, they only operate at the very beginning and end of regular cruising seasons, so you’ll never see a repositioning cruise advertised at the height of summer. March-April and October-November are the most common times.
Because of the timing, weather and sea conditions may not be optimum, leading to an increased risk of travel sickness and missed ports.
Interesting Ports
Price isn’t the only upside with repositioning cruises. Although such itineraries aim to move between regions as quickly as possible, they do include some intriguing port calls along the way that aren't always available on regular season cruising.
For example, transatlantic crossings often include the Canary Islands and/or the Azores. Cruise ships relocating between the Caribbean and Alaska transit through the Panama Canal, while ships traveling to/from Northern Europe may route via Iceland and Greenland.
Shorter Repositioning Cruises
There is another type of repositioning cruise available that may suit first-time cruisers or people curious about cruising that aren't willing to take a chance on multiple days at sea.
Some cruise lines that offer regional departures often move their ships between these regional ports. Often marketed as ‘taster cruises’, these shorter repositioning trips can be as short as just one or two nights.
For example, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines frequently offers such trips between some of its U.K. ports including Southampton, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Edinburgh. Fellow British line Ambassador Cruises also offers the occasional shorter repositioning trip between British ports.
