Other Ports

Not every port belongs to a region. This is where we keep the rest: the Atlantic islands you cross on a repositioning voyage, the locks and lakes of a Panama Canal transit, the Moroccan and West African calls on the way south, and the Arabian Gulf terminals that anchor winter itineraries out of Dubai.

​

Many of these appear on repositioning cruises — the one-way voyages that move ships between seasons, usually in April–May and September–November. They're long on sea days and short on crowds, and they often include ports that see a handful of ships a year rather than five a day. If you like a quiet gangway, this is the list to browse.

​

Because the entries here span several continents, there's no single season, currency or language to summarise — so the port pages carry more weight than usual. Check each one for the arrival type, the local money, and whether a visa is needed before you sail, since requirements in this group vary more than anywhere else on the site.
