WHY SAIL ON A TRANSATLANTIC CRUISE?

Discover incredible destinations on a Transatlantic cruise.

Our transatlantic cruises combine alluring destinations with time spent exploring everything that’s on offer on your Celebrity Cruises ship. Begin your trip on either side of the Atlantic – from the east coast of the United States to the west coast of Mediterranean Europe. You might choose to take in the breath-taking landscapes of Ireland and the Azores, finishing your voyage in Florida.

One of the benefits of an Atlantic crossing is the chance to experience luxurious life at sea. You can discover world-class cuisine, superior spa facilities, play games at the top-deck Lawn Club or enjoy dazzling entertainment in the evenings.

On a Transatlantic cruise, you can truly relax and get away from it all. Some of our sailings depart directly from Southampton, meaning you need only to fly one-way.

The best months to take a transatlantic cruise are generally between May and September. This is when you’ll experience the warmest weather on both sides of the Atlantic. July and August tend to be the busiest months in these destinations, so for a cooler and quieter holiday, sail in the shoulder seasons of May or September.

There are also plenty of festivals and events to mark on your calendar.
