If you're looking for the ultimate escape with complete relaxation, a Transatlantic Cruise should be at the top of your list for one of the most stress-free ways to unwind and kick back. Cruising the Atlantic is so much more of an experience than just gazing at the endless horizon. With the myriad of exciting activities and entertainment onboard, coupled with the outstanding cuisine and sumptuous accommodation, you hardly need even notice the outside world!
If you're looking for an easy start your cruise, many transatlantic crossings depart from the UK. However, you can also choose to leave from one of the magical Mediterranean ports in either Italy, Spain, France or Madeira, where you can enjoy exploring these destinations before heading off on your ocean crossing. You will then spend six nights aboard a Transatlantic cruise, really doing as little or as much as you please. This sophisticated, relaxed, sociable method of crossing the Pond will enable new friendships to blossom while enjoying black tie gala dinners and some serious pampering. After a week of total relaxation you will disembark, refreshed and ready to hit the streets of either pulsating New York, fabulous Florida or the charismatic Caribbean.
As the most refined, civilised way to cross the Atlantic, a transatlantic cruise can be either simply one way with a flight to either meet it or return from it, or for a jet-lag free option, choose the return journey for 14 nights of sheer pleasure. To make the most out of your transatlantic crossing you can also choose to extend your stay with a cruise and stay holiday, combining your cruise with an exploration tour of the USA.
During a transatlantic crossing, the main entertainment is being at sea with only a couple of possible stop offs on the way such as the Canaries, Azores or even a Bermuda cruise adventure. However, there is plenty onboard to keep you amused, meaning that you can choose your own pace to enjoy life on the Atlantic ocean.
If you'd like to enrich your cruise, there's plenty of opportunity to listen to lectures by experts and celebrities on subjects such as literature, film and maritime history, while cooking demonstrations and social events are offered daily during your voyage - with Cunard there are even fencing and ballroom classes!
Alternatively, you can choose to simply sit back and let the days pass you by. With well-stocked libraries, bars and lounges and spas offering massages and treatments, you'll be spoilt for choice onboard your ship.
If you're looking for the best time of year to embark on a transatlantic crossing, it's recommended that you go between April and December as this is when the weather is best, particularly around September. If you choose to go on an early or late crossing, the weather can be unpredictable and sometimes foggy, meaning you won't get the best views of the ocean (or the iconic vision of the Statue of Liberty coming into sight as you approach New York).
A Transatlantic cruise from Southampton to New York is considered to be the original one way voyage, however, crossings can also be eastbound or include the exciting destinations of Miami and Rio de Janeiro. If you want to experience the ultimate in luxury cruises, indulge in a Cunard Transatlantic cruise aboard Queen Mary 2, Cunard's flagship which sets high standards in opulent transatlantic cruising.
Known as the original Transatlantic cruise, this 6-night crossing to the bright lights of New York is still the most popular destination. Offering a wide variety of onboard entertainment, luxury and a taste of tradition, it has something for everyone from couples to families alike. If you choose the round-trip crossing, you can shop til you drop in the Big Apple, safe in the knowledge that there are no baggage limits onboard to hold you back!
Visit the fashionable beachside city of Miami, famed for its stunning Art Deco centre and South Beach, with a 10-night Western Transatlantic cruise departing from Dover. To make the most out of your Transatlantic crossing and to give you the opportunity to explore more of Miami and nearby Caribbean islands, enjoy a fly and stay Caribbean cruise holiday departing from Miami.
If you are looking for adventure from your Transatlantic cruise, a 19-night Atlantic crossing to the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo are an ideal choice. Take a shore excursion to discover the gastronomic delights on offer and soak up the regional culture and history in the extensive museums, rich in fascinating local information. Extend your voyage and discover more of Rio de Janeiro and the fascinating country of Brazil with a South American cruise holiday.
