Transatlantic Cruises Recapture the Wonder of Sailing's Glory Days

Transatlantic cruises once were the heart of daily commerce across the Atlantic, but today, Atlantic cruises are seasonal treats for vacationers. When you take advantage of CruiseDirect's best price guarantee, you'll have a few different options: One cruise line operates a schedule of crossings through the summer months, but most other transatlantic sailings occur with the migrations of cruise fleets from the Caribbean to Europe and the Mediterranean in the spring and the return voyages in the fall. These spring and fall transatlantic cruises are one-way trips.

Transatlantic Cruises Departing From Major Eastern and Western Ports

Eastbound transatlantic cruises frequently depart from New YorkBostonMiamiFort Lauderdale, and a few Caribbean ports. Atlantic cruises heading west often sail from Southampton, England; Barcelona, Spain; and other major European port cities. In each case, cruises across the Atlantic may take a longer, slower southern route past the Canary Islands or the shorter and quicker northern course.

While a few Transatlantic cruise deals include visits to ports along the way, such as the Canary Islands on the southern crossings or Iceland on the northern path, the unique character of the transatlantic cruise makes these simply short diversions from the main event: the transit across the vast expanse of the Atlantic.

Embarking on a transatlantic cruise one-way is an extraordinary experience that blends adventure with relaxation. Whether you're looking for a one-way transatlantic cruise from bustling European ports to the U.S. or vice versa, these sailings provide a unique opportunity to unwind while crossing one of the world's most storied oceans.

What Is the Best Time of Year for a Transatlantic Cruise?

The best time for transatlantic cruises to Europe is usually in the spring (April to May), and the best time for a transatlantic cruise from Europe to the U.S. is usually in the fall (September to November). This is when you'll find the most options, as cruise lines are repositioning their ships between continents.
