Transatlantic cruises

When it comes to choosing who to cruise with, Cunard have been crossing the Atlantic from the UK since 1840 with their distinctive black and white liners, and continue to do so with Queen Mary 2. With the crossing taking nine days, this impressive ship offers the opportunity to experience a luxury cruise and opulence onboard one of ocean cruising's most iconic passenger ships.

Cunard are not alone in offering transatlantic cruises. Royal Caribbean operate transatlantic cruises that cross from Southampton to the Caribbean, giving you a contrast of weather and sea conditions, arriving in the Caribbean refreshed, relaxed and ready to explore. What's more, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Line sail from and to Florida, ideal if you are interested in a combined Mediterranean cruise and transatlantic crossing.

Once you've arrived at your destination, a cruise and stay is a great option for extending your holiday in the USA or the Caribbean. By adding a hotel stay onto the beginning or end of your cruise, you'll be able to enjoy both a sea and land holiday. Alternatively, with the option to fly to New York and sail back to Southampton or embark on a round-trip cruise, there are plenty of options to suit all types of travellers.
