Transatlantic Cruise Lines

One line specializes in the crossing; most others cross when repositioning. Here’s who suits whom — and we’ll match the right one to you.

Cunard

The transatlantic specialist — Queen Mary 2 is the only purpose-built ocean liner in service, sailing scheduled Southampton–New York crossings with a grand, British sense of occasion.

Princess, Celebrity & Holland America

Premium lines that reposition across the Atlantic each spring and fall — comfortable sea-day ships with strong enrichment and great value.

MSC & Norwegian

Big, activity-packed resort ships whose repositioning crossings make a balcony genuinely affordable — good for families and first-timers.

Royal Caribbean

Large, amenity-rich ships crossing between Europe and the Caribbean on repositioning voyages, with plenty to do on the sea days.

Luxury lines

Oceania, Viking, Regent, Seabourn and Silversea run refined, food-and-enrichment-focused crossings for those who want it in style.
