Transatlantic
The Atlantic Ocean is an S-shaped basin extending longitudinally between the Americas to the west and Eurasia, and Africa to the east, rendering it the perfect gateway for cruising between Europe and North America.
Prized Transatlantic destinations include Azores Island in Portugal; nine incredibly lush islands bursting with a unique range of flora, plus Isafjördur in Iceland, with its summer midnight sun and wealth of active volcanoes, glaciers, fjords and desert plateaus.
Alternatively, sample the charms of Nanortalik, Greenland’s southernmost town and home to a smorgasbord of whales and seals, a goldmine and regular giant polar bear sightings.
New York represents the prized destination of Transatlantic cruise itineraries and makes for a particularly rewarding visit by cruise as passengers can retrace the journeys of millions of migrants, locals and travelers into its dazzling harbour. Once inside the Big Apple, visitors can sample the toast of international theatre on Broadway, visit the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) or the Guggenheim; dine in some of the world’s best restaurants or shop in Madison Avenue. Regardless of preference: New York boasts enough highlights to keep visitors busy for a year.
