Transtatlantic Cruises

The Atlantic Ocean remains one of the world’s greatest cruise routes and Transatlantic cruises hark back to the days of the steam liners voyaging between Britain and the US. For those looking for an escape from their everyday lives, then Transatlantic cruises are extremely appealing and sailing out into the vastness of the Atlantic can be both intimidating and exhilarating.

What are Transatlantic Cruise Holidays like?

Transatlantic cruises are reminiscent of the golden age of travel and the ships that sail this route offer guest’s superb accommodation and leisure activities and with just a few ports of call there is plenty of time to enjoy all the luxuries on board and totally relax. Westbound Transatlantic cruises typically sail from Southampton while eastward bound lines generally set out from New York. The time to cross can vary between six days to over 2 weeks depending on the route.

There can be no better feeling than cruising into New York, standing out on deck, the Statue of Liberty looking down over you, the historic Ellis Island where so many dreams began years ago and the magnificent Manhattan skyline beckoning in the distance. Transatlantic cruises reacquaint you with the simple pleasures of being at sea – the forever horizons, sparkling moonlit waves, the salty air and the constant gentle movement of the ship ploughing her way through the ocean.
