2025 Transatlantic Cruises: Relaxing Days & Diverse Destinations

If you're looking for a cruise where you can truly enjoy all the amenities your ship has to offer, you might want to consider a transatlantic cruise. Transatlantic cruises start on one continent and make the grand journey across the Atlantic Ocean to a port on another continent. By spending time on the ocean rather than jumping from port city to port city each day, you can explore your luxurious ship and enjoy all it has to offer.

If that sounds like your vacation style, consider booking a 2025 Transatlantic cruise with Norwegian. With 10 itineraries to choose from, spanning even more countries, you can choose a cruise that checks all the boxes on your dream travel wish list. Let's take a closer look at where you could be headed in 2025.

Reasons To Take a Transatlantic Cruise

Taking a cruise across the Atlantic Ocean gives you extra time aboard your ship, allowing you to truly explore your surroundings. Many cruises stop at different ports of call each day, limiting your time on the ship to mostly nighttime while you're sleeping. While the spacious staterooms are inviting and capable of providing a great night's sleep, the rest of the ship is equally as magnificent and worthy of your time. By taking a transatlantic cruise, you can enjoy your time relishing in these onboard opportunities:

• Indulge in fine dining.
• Enjoy world-class onboard entertainment.
• Relax and refresh at the spa.
• Dance the night away at the bars and lounges.
• Test your luck at the casino.

Your Norwegian ship is so much more than a place to sleep; it's a floating resort with everything you need for an exciting and eventful vacation.

2025 Transatlantic Cruise Ports

Transatlantic cruises give you the opportunity to see parts of Europe, The Caribbean, the United States, Canada & New England. They range from 12 to 16 days, splitting the time between the sea and the land to offer an unforgettable experience. Here are just a few of the ports you can explore on a transatlantic cruise.

Ponta Delgada, Azores

The Azores Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Portugal known for their lush vegetation and mild climate year-round. A stop in Ponta Delgada gives you the opportunity to walk around this charming capital city full of colorful houses, cobblestone streets, and traditional churches. The quaint atmosphere makes you feel as if you're in a smaller version of Lisbon, Portugal's capital city located on the neighboring mainland. Explore Ponta Delgada's history with a stroll through Praça de Gonçalo Velho Cabral, a city square that contains the iconic Portas da Cidade, or arched city gates.

Castelo de Castro and Castelo de San Sebastián were first erected in the 1600s and 1700s, respectively, as a way to help defend the city from invaders. Don't miss a visit to the nearby Holy City of Santiago de Compostela, where you can visit its breathtaking cathedral featuring Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture.

Paris (Le Havre), France

Spend the day exploring the City of Lights, where you can sip a cappuccino and munch on a croissant as you stroll the streets surrounding the celebrated Eiffel Tower. Take an hour or two to roam the halls of world-class museums, and make sure to snap a selfie in front of the Mona Lisa. Walk the shores of the Seine and round out your day meandering the cobblestone streets of Montmartre.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

The bustling city of Belfast serves as an excellent gateway to the rural landscapes of Northern Ireland. Belfast is a rapidly growing urban center where you'll find cafes, restaurants, and museums celebrating Northern Ireland's history. Take some time to leave the city and explore all that Northern Ireland has to offer, from the Antrim Coast to the awe-inspiring Giant's Causeway.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Few cities have the diversity of Reykjavik. From the lively city center filled with museums, restaurants, and a robust music scene, you can take a short trip to see rugged landscapes that include hot springs, lava, and fjords. Nighttime in Reykjavik brings the possibility of seeing the stunning Northern Lights, an impressive display of nature's beauty and wonder.

St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Pull into port at the capital city of Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas and step into a tropical Caribbean paradise. Spend the day on some of the best white-sand beaches in the world, including picturesque Magens Bay or Brewers Bay. Enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving to get an up-close view of coral reefs and all their marine life.
