Travel Tips for Transatlantic

A Short History of Transatlantic Cruises

The allure of crossing the Atlantic by sea has captivated travellers for centuries, from the grand voyages of early explorers to the golden age of ocean liners. Transatlantic cruises, as we know them today, trace their origins back to the 19th century when steamships first began to offer regular passenger service between Europe and North America. The introduction of steam power revolutionised maritime travel, significantly reducing journey times and making ocean crossings more accessible to the public. By the early 20th century, illustrious ships such as the RMS Titanic and the RMS Queen Mary epitomised luxury and glamour, ferrying passengers across the Atlantic in unprecedented comfort and style. The advent of air travel in the mid-20th century saw a decline in the popularity of ocean liners as the primary means of transatlantic transport. However, the spirit of those grand voyages was rekindled in the latter part of the century with the emergence of transatlantic cruises. Today, these cruises offer a nostalgic nod to the past while incorporating all the modern amenities and entertainment options one expects from a contemporary cruise experience. 


The Benefits of Transatlantic Cruises

Transatlantic cruises offer a unique blend of relaxation, luxury and adventure that distinguishes them from other types of cruises. One of the most appealing aspects is the opportunity for extended time at sea. Unlike port-intensive itineraries, transatlantic cruises allow cruisers to fully immerse themselves in the onboard experience, making the most of the ship’s amenities, activities and entertainment. Another significant advantage is the sense of tradition and romance associated with crossing the Atlantic. For many, it’s a chance to experience a journey steeped in history, evoking the grandeur of a bygone era. Additionally, these cruises often feature diverse onboard enrichment programmes, including lectures, workshops, and performances that enhance the overall experience. Cost-wise, transatlantic cruises can offer exceptional value. With fewer ports of call, the focus shifts to the onboard experience, which often includes full-board dining and a plethora of activities, providing great bang for your buck. Furthermore, they can be an attractive option for those looking to avoid long-haul flights, offering a more leisurely and comfortable way to travel between continents.
