Transatlantic cruise: a guide to choosing the right one

A transatlantic cruise restores the true meaning of a crossing: watching Europe recede, feeling the Atlantic fill the horizon, following the ship's progress on the map and spending several days in which the horizon, the sea and the unhurried passage of time become the heart of the journey.

Here, the ship is not merely transportation; it becomes your main living space, with restaurants, lounges, a theater, pools, a spa and promenade decks, along with the rituals unique to great crossings: sea days, gradual time-zone changes, navigation updates, lectures, gala evenings, grand dinners and long hours watching the ocean pass. Ultimately, the destination is as much what awaits on the other side of the Atlantic as the singular experience of truly crossing an ocean.

Our advice for choosing a transatlantic cruise

1. Choose your direction

  • Westbound (Europe–Americas) : You gain an hour of sleep almost every night as the time zones change. Ideal for arriving well rested.
  • Eastbound (Americas–Europe) : The days are shorter (23 hours), but these spring crossings are often sunnier.

2. Choose your cruise line

  • Tradition (Cunard) : The only regular service aboard Queen Mary 2, dedicated to maritime history and British elegance.
  • Repositioning (MSC, Costa, Royal Caribbean) : Attractive fares when ships reposition between continents in the fall or spring.

Top transatlantic cruise experiences by cruise line

Top Cunard experiences: the transatlantic crossing in its most legendary form

  • The Southampton–New York route: a true classic. : This is the most iconic experience for travelers who want to cross the North Atlantic in the spirit of classic ocean voyages. The itinerary often features several uninterrupted sea days rather than numerous port calls, giving the journey a seamless sense of continuity.
  • Queen Mary 2: choose a ship designed for the ocean. : What sets her apart is that she is not simply a ship with cabins, restaurants and shows, but an ocean liner whose identity is bound to the Atlantic crossing. This is evident throughout the ship, from the promenade decks and observation areas to the library, grand lounges, theaters and refined atmosphere.
  • Gala evenings: experience Cunard tradition. : Long gowns, suits, music, dancing, cocktails and carefully prepared dinners create a dressier atmosphere than on most conventional repositioning cruises.
  • Afternoon Tea and the Queens Room: British traditions at sea. : Afternoon Tea, lounges, dancing and evenings in the Queens Room give the crossing a distinctly British character through service, conversation, orchestras and an atmosphere that is more traditional than festive.
  • Lectures and enrichment programs: learn during the crossing. : Long sea days are ideal for lectures, workshops, cultural programming, guest speakers and themed programs.
  • The library and quiet spaces: savor the sea away from the bustle. : Cunard is particularly well suited to guests who enjoy reading, walking, taking in the view, listening to music, settling into a lounge and embracing a relaxed pace.
  • Event Voyages: a transatlantic crossing with a distinctive theme. : Some transatlantic departures are centered on a particular theme: fashion, literature, theater, dance, music, cuisine, wellness or culture. A fashion voyage may combine runway shows, lectures, meet-and-greets and Q&As; a literary voyage may feature guest authors, readings, signings and conversations.
  • Queen Mary 2's kennels: a true rarity at sea. : On select transatlantic crossings, Cunard allows dogs or cats to travel in dedicated kennels. This is a unique advantage for travelers who want to journey between Europe and America with their pet without flying.
  • Who is it for? : Cunard is the best choice if you seek an elegant, historic and peaceful crossing rich in culture and seafaring tradition, with a true sense of travel between two continents.

Top MSC experiences: a grand-scale, modern and lively transatlantic crossing

  • MSC Grand Voyages: cross the Atlantic on a repositioning cruise. : These itineraries often connect the Mediterranean with the Caribbean or South America. You can depart from European ports such as Genoa, Barcelona, Copenhagen or Hamburg and continue to destinations such as the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo or Buenos Aires.
  • Excellent value for the length of the cruise. : MSC transatlantic cruises are often longer than conventional cruises and include several sea days, yet their nightly rates generally remain competitive. They are among the best options for traveling far without stepping into the realm of formal luxury.
  • Plenty of activities during the crossing. : MSC places a strong emphasis on entertainment: sports, themed evenings, games, competitions, dancing, shows, trivia, pools and family recreation. This matters because a transatlantic cruise includes several days without a port call.
  • Modern, exceptionally well-equipped ships. : Depending on the ship assigned to the itinerary, amenities may include expansive pool decks, a variety of restaurants, bars, a spa, kids clubs, sports areas, entertainment venues and sometimes high-tech attractions.
  • A great option for families. : MSC is well suited to families and travelers who want a lively crossing. Kids clubs, teen activities, daytime entertainment and shows make long stretches at sea easier to enjoy.
  • The MSC Yacht Club for a more premium experience. : On ships that offer it, the Yacht Club provides a more exclusive experience with suites, private spaces, concierge service, personalized attention and access to the rest of the ship. It is a good option for guests who want MSC's energy without sacrificing peace and quiet.
  • Itineraries with memorable ports along the way. : MSC routes may include Mallorca, Casablanca, the Canary Islands, the Caribbean or Brazil. These ports add variety to the crossing, combining ocean passages with historic cities and tropical destinations.
  • Who is it for? : MSC is the best choice if you want a lively, modern, family-friendly transatlantic cruise packed with activities and often more affordable than a premium crossing.

Top Costa experiences: the Atlantic, Italian-style—friendly and sunny

  • Convenient departures from the Mediterranean. : Costa itineraries may leave from ports convenient for French-speaking and European travelers, such as Marseille, Savona, Barcelona or other Mediterranean ports. This is an advantage for anyone hoping to avoid a long trip to the embarkation port.
  • Routes to the Canary Islands, the Caribbean and South America. : Costa is particularly well suited to fall crossings to warm-weather destinations: the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Uruguay or Argentina, depending on the season and ship.
  • A distinctly Italian atmosphere. : Costa appeals to travelers who enjoy sociable dining, entertainment, music, bars, shows, pools and a less formal atmosphere than Cunard.
  • A great choice for an affordable transatlantic cruise. : Costa repositioning cruises can offer a very attractive nightly rate, especially for travelers who are flexible about the date, direction of the crossing and arrival port.
  • Ships suited to long days at sea. : Restaurants, bars, pools, hot tubs, a casino, a theater, shops and relaxation areas help guests enjoy their time aboard without seeking an overly luxurious or formal atmosphere.
  • A great choice for travelers who enjoy warm-weather ports. : Costa is particularly appealing if your transatlantic itinerary includes Madeira, the Canary Islands, the Caribbean or Brazil. The crossing then feels sunnier than a North Atlantic route.
  • A friendly experience for couples, friends and families. : Costa suits guests looking for a lively, accessible and straightforward cruise focused on vacation pleasures: pre-dinner drinks, shows, pool time, excursions and large communal tables.
  • Who is it for? : Costa is the best choice if you seek a relaxed, Mediterranean transatlantic cruise that is often attractively priced, with a warm atmosphere and itineraries built around sunny destinations.

Top RCCL experiences: a crossing combining entertainment, shows and relaxation

  • Itineraries between Europe and North America. : Royal Caribbean offers crossings connecting destinations such as Florida, New York, Barcelona and Southampton, depending on the season, sometimes calling in the Azores, Spain, Portugal, the Bahamas or Puerto Rico. This option is designed as an extended vacation.
  • Ships designed as destinations. : Royal Caribbean's strength is the onboard experience: FlowRider, a climbing wall, an ice rink, shows, musicals, pools, waterslides, miniature golf, sports courts, a wide variety of restaurants and kids and teen clubs.
  • An excellent choice for families and groups. : Children, teens and active travelers can easily settle into a routine thanks to youth clubs, sports, shows and places to unwind, with something to suit parents, grandparents, couples and friends.
  • A casual, lively atmosphere. : Royal Caribbean emphasizes entertainment, activities, varied dining options and the ship's energy, creating a lively, easygoing atmosphere.
  • Who is it for? : Royal Caribbean is best suited to travelers who want a modern, active, spectacular and family-friendly transatlantic cruise with abundant entertainment on sea days.

Why is it incomparable?

Truly crossing the ocean

A transatlantic crossing is unlike a conventional cruise with frequent port calls. Here, the sea takes center stage. Sea days are not downtime: they convey the true distance between Europe and the Americas. You watch the light change, follow the map, feel the wind and swell, look toward the horizon and gradually pass from one time zone to another.

Rediscovering the luxury of time

The great luxury of an Atlantic crossing is time: time to read, walk on deck, enjoy the spa, attend a lecture, learn a dance, linger over a meal or do nothing without guilt. The journey is less about moving from port to port and more about a continuous, soothing and deeply immersive sailing experience.

Enjoying the ship as the destination

On a transatlantic cruise, the ship matters as much as the route. Restaurants, shows, the library, promenade decks, pools, lounges, the casino, sports, themed evenings and activities become the heart of the journey. That is why choosing the cruise line is essential: you are not simply choosing departure and arrival ports, but the onboard atmosphere you will experience for several days.

Combining two journeys in one

A transatlantic cruise often combines two worlds: a few days in Europe before embarkation, followed by New York, the Caribbean, Brazil or Argentina on arrival. Instead of flying between continents, the passage becomes a defining part of the journey. It is ideal for travelers who enjoy itineraries with a true sense of progression, a story and a purpose.

Why is it incomparable?

Cruiser tips

An Atlantic crossing requires different preparation from a cruise with daily port calls. Consider comfort during several days at sea, time-zone changes, weather, clothing, onboard activities, the total budget and the logistics of arriving on another continent. Experienced cruisers know that a successful transatlantic depends as much on choosing the right ship as on making a few smart preparations before departure.
  • Choose the direction of your crossing to match your pace. : Westbound from Europe to the Americas, days often grow longer and you gradually gain extra sleep. Eastbound back to Europe can be more tiring because nights become shorter. This detail truly matters on a crossing with several time-zone changes.
  • Don't underestimate the season. : A North Atlantic crossing has very different weather from a crossing to the Canary Islands, the Caribbean or Brazil. Northern routes can be cooler, windier and rougher; southern routes are often sunnier, though not necessarily free of swell. The season affects your clothing, how much you use your balcony and the pools, and even your desire to spend time outside.
  • Check the number of consecutive sea days. : Some transatlantic cruises include an uninterrupted ocean passage of several days. It can be wonderful if you love the sea, but it may feel long if you need to go ashore often. Always review the day-by-day itinerary, not just the departure and arrival ports.
  • Consider the ports along the way. : The Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Brazil each give the journey a completely different character. A nonstop crossing feels more immersive and maritime; one with several port calls offers more variety and may be easier for a first-time transatlantic traveler.
  • Choose a well-located cabin if you are concerned about motion. : To reduce the sensation of motion, choose the middle of the ship on a mid-level deck. A balcony cabin offers wonderful horizon views, but a well-positioned inside cabin can sometimes be more stable and affordable.
  • Choose the cruise line based on how much quiet you enjoy. : Cunard appeals to travelers who enjoy elegance, reading, lectures and tradition. MSC better suits those wanting a large, lively, modern and family-friendly ship. Costa offers an accessible Italian cruise experience with a welcoming, sunny atmosphere. Royal Caribbean suits families and travelers seeking a spectacular, exceptionally well-equipped ship packed with activities.
