Transatlantic Cruises

Rediscover the romance of a classic Transatlantic cruise. A transatlantic cruise offers you the chance to relax and unwind with anything between 6-8 days at sea at a time:

• Admire the spectacular views of the ocean or the landscapes passing by
• Hang out by the onboard pool(s) with a delicious cocktail in hand
• Get some well-deserved R&R at the onboard Spa
• Learn something new at one of the numerous classes offered on board
• Enjoy the spectacular shows, movies and other onboard entertainment events
• Explore the menus of all onboard restaurants

Transatlantic crossings are historically synonymous with exploration and emigration. However, today a transatlantic cruise is something of a luxury sailing with long days at sea.

• RMS Lusitania
• RMS Mauretania
• RMS Queen Elizabeth 2
• RMS Queen Mary 2

The Best Time to Travel

If you are not into stormy weather, avoid cruising across the Atlantic Ocean between November and April at all costs – rough seas are almost guaranteed at that time.

Book for the months of June through August. Tropical storms and hurricanes are still possible, but are much less likely to be as strong.
