Transatlantic Cruises

Compare verified dedicated crossings and seasonal repositioning cruises across the Atlantic.

Compare Transatlantic Cruises

Transatlantic cruises generally fall into two groups: dedicated ocean crossings and seasonal repositioning cruises. Dedicated crossings emphasize the crossing itself and long stretches at sea. Repositioning cruises move ships between seasonal regions and often add ports in Bermuda, the Azores, Portugal, Spain, Morocco or the Caribbean.

That distinction matters. Travelers looking for a classic ocean-liner experience may choose very differently from travelers who want a longer itinerary with additional ports along the way.

Dedicated Crossings vs. Repositioning Cruises

The database currently includes 6 dedicated or roundtrip crossings and 48 repositioning cruises. A dedicated crossing is built around the ocean passage itself. A repositioning cruise moves a ship between seasonal deployment regions and usually combines the crossing with additional ports.

Neither is automatically better. The right choice depends on whether you value uninterrupted sea days, additional destinations, the specific ship, overall trip length or total vacation cost.

What to Compare Before Booking

Start with direction and route, then look closely at the ship. On longer crossings, consecutive sea days, cabin comfort, indoor spaces, laundry, solo accommodations, Wi-Fi and package costs can become much more important than they are on a short port-intensive cruise.
