13-night transatlantic cruises from $494

Enjoy a transatlantic cruise from $38 per day, plus fees!

Need to really get away from it all? Have you ever thought about a transatlantic cruise? A number of cruise lines offer terrific deals on passages that reposition ships from Europe to the Caribbean, Central America, or South America in the winter and reverse in spring. Repositioning cruises are longer than the usual — 10 or more days — and include only a few ports of call — hence the reduced rates to attract more travelers.

Think of the many days at sea as a perfect place to detox from the digital world — or to use many days to engage in fitness or to catch up on reading. Many lines offer cooking, photography or dance classes and educational lectures. If you’d love some me-time and not the non-stop entertaining options offered on the more traditional cruise, this might just be the ticket for you! As they have more time to spare, an older clientele is expected to be on board an Atlantic crossing cruise. That also means that the bars will typically be quiet after midnight, so don’t expect to party hardy.

Here are some of the highlights of this Prestige Cruise/Travelzoo sale. These per-person rates (based on two sharing a cabin) include all taxes, fees, and airfare!
