If you are looking to take a vacation where you don't have to fly round-trip, then a Transatlantic cruise is a fantastic vacation choice. Experienced cruisers love Transatlantic cruises because of the opportunity to enjoy the endless amenities your ship has to offer, day after day. Transatlantic cruises are especially favored by history buffs because it's an opportunity to relive the journey many of our ancestors took when coming to America. Besides the wonderful ride across the Atlantic, many Transatlantic cruises also offer stops in very exciting port cities.
The peak seasons for Transatlantic cruising are typically in May and September, since that is when most cruise lines move their ships from one region to another (for example, moving a ship from the Caribbean to Europe). In essence, most Transatlantic cruises are actually Repositioning cruises. However, Cunard Line features frequent Transatlantic cruises (referred to as "crossings" by Cunard) throughout the year on Queen Mary 2.
There are Transatlantic cruises from New York, Miami, Barcelona, Venice, Southampton, and lots of other cruise port cities. For an even more in-depth vacation, you might consider booking a Transatlantic sailing in combination with a pre- and/or post-cruise land package. For instance, you can take a cruise from New York to Southampton and then stay a few nights after the cruise in London. Sounds good, no?
American Discount Vacations is proud to offer the best deals possible on all Transatlantic cruises booked with us. Backed by our "Low Price Guarantee," and powered by our team of expert travel agents, we're sure to exceed your expectations when booking your next Transatlantic cruise!
