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.

Transatlantic Cruises Weather

For the best weather conditions during your cruise, it's suggested that you choose to travel between April and December, with September being a particularly good month. With clearer skies, sunnier days and calmer seas, you're bound to have a pleasant crossing. While you can sail outside of this peak, you may experience some fog, meaning there's a chance you won't have such a clear view of New York as you arrive.

Giving you plenty of time to explore all that the ship has to offer and make the most of some time for yourself, this is the perfect option for those looking for the ultimate in holiday relaxation. Here is where Cunard truly come into their own - enjoy high tea taking in the view, dance and fencing classes, lectures and star gazing in the auditorium or good old traditional deck games.
