2024 Transatlantic Cruises: Relaxing Days & Diverse Destinations

For some, the allure of cruising stems from exploring diverse ports, each day of their trip offering a new destination. Others relish the journey itself, savoring the ship's luxuries and facilities. Why not experience both? With Norwegian Cruise Line, you can. Consider a Transatlantic cruise, where you'll have plenty of time to relax onboard and enjoy some port days.

What Makes a Transatlantic Cruise Special?

Transatlantic cruises with Norwegian offer an unmatched experience:

• Setting sail from one continent.
• Crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean.
• Concluding your journey on another continent.

Picture departing from Miami and disembarking in Europe. Alternatively, envision sailing from Barcelona, only to disembark in the United States. Transatlantic cruises are the perfect choice for those who relish their time onboard. Extra sea days mean more opportunities to:

• Experiment with various specialty dining options.
• Schedule relaxing spa treatments.
• Lounge by the pool, soaking up the sun.
• Immerse yourself in vibrant evening activities that you might usually miss after a tiring day of exploration.

Although you'll have plenty of sea days, your Transatlantic cruise will not be short on captivating ports of call. Unlike regional cruises, which usually offer consecutive port days, Transatlantic cruises offer a more relaxed pace. Additionally, these cruises often provide significant savings, as they're typically less costly than other cruises of a similar duration.

Remember, these unique cruises only embark a few times a year, typically during the transition between cruise seasons. As such, the sailings are limited, making these cruises more likely to sell out.
