Transatlantic Cruises
Transatlantic Cruises
Yugen Trouvaille Travel arranges tailor-made transatlantic cruises for travellers who prefer to cross the Atlantic by sea rather than by air. Whether you choose a classic liner crossing between Southampton and New York or a longer repositioning voyage, we plan each part of your journey around how you like to travel.
A transatlantic crossing is a different kind of holiday. There are no airport queues and no jet lag on arrival, and you have several days at sea to relax, read, dine well and enjoy the ship’s facilities before you reach the other side.
Transatlantic Routes and Itineraries
Popular transatlantic cruises include:
- Southampton to New York: the classic crossing, usually around seven nights, sailing on a regular liner service
- New York to Southampton: the same route in reverse, often with the option to combine it with a westbound crossing
- Repositioning cruises in autumn: ships moving from Europe to the Caribbean or Florida, often calling at the Azores, Madeira or the Canary Islands
- Repositioning cruises in spring: ships returning from the Caribbean or Florida to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe
- Longer crossings: voyages of two weeks or more that include ports on both sides of the Atlantic

Frequently Asked Cruise Holiday Questions
How long does a transatlantic cruise take?
A direct crossing between Southampton and New York usually takes around seven nights. Repositioning cruises that include ports of call can take two weeks or more.
When is the best time to take a transatlantic cruise?
Most crossings run between spring and autumn. May to September generally offers the calmest weather, while spring and autumn repositioning voyages often suit travellers who want a longer itinerary.
Is a transatlantic crossing rough?
The Atlantic can be unsettled at times, particularly outside the summer months. Modern ships are stable and well equipped for ocean crossings, and we can advise on the best time of year and the best cabin position for you.
Can you tailor a transatlantic cruise holiday?
Yes. We can add pre- or post-cruise hotel stays, flights, private transfers and cabin upgrades to suit you.
What is included in a transatlantic cruise?
This depends on the cruise line and cabin. Most fares include your cabin, main meals and onboard entertainment. Luxury lines often include drinks and gratuities. We will explain exactly what is included before you book.
Can I sail one way and fly the other?
Yes. Many travellers sail in one direction and fly back, and we can arrange both. Some also choose to sail both ways.
Do I need a visa or travel authorisation for the United States?
Most visitors from the UK need an approved ESTA or a visa before travelling. We can advise on what to arrange before you sail.
