Transatlantic Cruises, the adventure is about to begin...

Your amazing adventure follows in the footsteps of many illustrious liners, not least of all, the QE2 which retired recently after more than 800 Atlantic crossings.

The highlight of every west-bound voyage is catching the first breathtaking view of the world’s most famous skyline as dawn breaks over Manhattan and you are welcomed by the Statue of Liberty

When is the best time to go?

Transatlantic repositioning cruises take place during the spring and autumn, as ships prepare for a new area to sail in. In autumn ships leave Europe bound for sunnier climates in the Americas and Caribbean. This process is reversed during the spring as ships head back to the Mediterranean and UK. So look out for a great deal on an unusual cruise itinerary that takes you from one great continent to another.

Alternatively you can fly direct to New York for a few days of shopping and sightseeing before leisurely cruising home, with no worries about excess baggage. Simply exploring all the bars, restaurants, theatres, lounges, and health facilities on such a vast vessel as the QM2 could take up a full day of your transatlantic crossing alone. From sessions in the impressive Canyon Ranch spa and the gym to selecting a good book from the largest library a sea, with 6,000 titles, or enjoying a spectacular film show at QM2’s Planetarium, all are part of the sumptuous on board experience.
