Los Angeles Cruise Guide > Destinations > Repositioning
Four cruise lines offer repositioning cruises from LA. The destinations of these one-way cruise are Florida, New York, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Chile.
A repositioning cruise is one that shifts a ship from one departure port to another. Out of Los Angeles, the cruises often go through the Panama Canal to the East Coast. Repositioning cruises are usually good bargains because one-way cruises are not as popular as round-trips.
