Cruise-Based Travel

  • At Sea Experience: Long stretches at sea let you explore your ship’s amenities—spas, libraries, lecture series, live entertainment, and gourmet dining.
  • Shore Excursions:
    • Historical walking tours in European port cities (like Lisbon or Cobh).
    • Day trips from UK ports to famous landmarks (Stonehenge, Bath).
    • Iconic NYC landmarks if crossing ends or begins there.
  • Repositioning Cruises: Many lines offer special fares during spring and fall when ships transition between Europe and the Americas.

Land Tour Travel

  • Extended Itinerary: Bookend your cruise with a land-based vacation. For instance, spend extra days exploring London before sailing or tour New England after disembarking in New York.
  • Must-Do Activities:
    • In Europe, hop between cultural capitals by train (Paris, Amsterdam, or Berlin).
    • Explore the US East Coast’s historic sites, from Boston to Washington, D.C.
  • Local Tips: A transatlantic voyage can span 7–14+ days at sea. If you want more land time, consider short segments or combine it with additional tours on either side.
