Trans-Atlantic

For the traveler that simply wants to escape from the ordinary routine, nothing beats Trans Atlantic cruises. From six days to two weeks or more, the Trans Atlantic cruises crossing between Europe and America feature leisurely days at sea, rather than the usual series of port calls.

Trans Atlantic cruises once were the heart of daily commerce across the Atlantic, but today they are seasonal treats. Most Trans Atlantic cruises sail from the Caribbean to Europe and the Mediterranean in the spring and the return voyages in the fall.

Eastbound Trans Atlantic cruises frequently depart from New York, Boston, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and a few Caribbean ports. Westbound ships often sail from Southampton, England; Barcelona, Spain; and other major European port cities. Trans Atlantic cruises may take a longer, slower southern route past the Canary Islands, or the shorter and quicker northern course.
While a few of these cruises include visits to ports along the way - such as the Canary Islands or Iceland, the unique character of Trans Atlantic cruises make these short diversions from the main event, the voyage across the vast Atlantic Ocean.
