Transatlantic Cruise
Introduction
Transatlantic crossings are unique because cruisers spend a significant amount of time at sea. To enable criusor to visit a good number of ports, cruise itineraries are often scheduled for 10 days or longer.
The prime advantage to a transatlantic crossing is the extraordinary number of diverse regions you are able to visit. You can visit the foreboding Loch Ness in Scotland, witness the hot springs and vast fields of cooled lava of Iceland, enjoy a delectable lobster lunch in Nova Scotia and lay on the sun-drenched beaches of Key West, Florida - all in a single cruise!
If you prefer long, relaxing days at sea and the freedom to set your own schedule, a transatlantic sailing may be the perfect cruise for you.
Getting Around
Your dependency on a guide will depend on the amount of time you are spending at a port, and where that port is. When you port in places like Europe, the wealth of museums, churches and monuments will justify a guide. In regions with challenging terrain, such as Iceland, a guide might also be necessary.
Sun and sand are the primary reasons people cruise to places like Bermuda, St. Croix and Barbados, and if your transatlantic cruise stops in such balmy places, a visit to the local beach or craft market won't require a guide. |
