Transatlantic
The Atlantic Ocean remains one of the world's great cruise routes, harking back to the days of the steam liners between Britain and the US.
Harking back to the golden age of travel, transatlantic cruises offer passengers superb accommodation and leisure activities with just a few port calls, as most will agree that the greatest appeal of a transatlantic cruise is the voyage itself.
Sailing out into the bleak vastness of the Atlantic is both an intimidating and an exhilarating experience, perfect for those looking for an escape from their everyday routine.
Westbound ships typically sail from Southampton, Barcelona and several other European destinations, while eastward bound cruise liners usually set sail from New York, Boston, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and some of the Caribbean ports.
The time to cross the Atlantic can vary between six days to more than two weeks, depending on the route.
