Epic Transatlantic Cruise
Embark on an incredible 14-night holiday with our Epic Transatlantic cruise, taking you from the Mediterranean to the sunshine of Florida. This journey is designed for travellers who appreciate the perfect blend of organised exploration and the peaceful serenity of life at sea. Setting sail from Barcelona, you will travel aboard the recently refurbished Norwegian Epic, a ship known for its high standards of service and extensive range of dining and entertainment options.
Your voyage begins with a cultural immersion in southern Spain. In Cádiz, you can stroll through medieval lanes or visit the vibrant Mercado Central de Abastos to sample authentic local flavours. The journey then takes you to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the dramatic volcanic landscapes and golden beaches of the Canary Islands await. These early stops provide a wonderful taste of European island life before you begin your crossing. The heart of this Epic Transatlantic cruise is the six-day ocean passage, offering you ample time to fully enjoy the ship’s facilities. Whether you favour a quiet afternoon by the pool, a visit to the Mandara Spa, or world-class evening shows, the schedule is yours to define.
As you reach the western side of the Atlantic, the scenery shifts to the tropical beauty of the US Virgin Islands. St. Thomas offers one of the most beautiful harbours in the world at Charlotte Amalie, famous for its duty-free shopping and pristine sands. The tropical highlights continue at Great Stirrup Cay, a private island paradise in the Bahamas reserved solely for cruise guests. Here, you can kayak in crystal-clear waters or enjoy a relaxed beach buffet under the sun. Finally, your journey concludes in Orlando, where you can visit the Kennedy Space Centre before your flight home. This is a straightforward, great-value holiday that includes all flights, transfers, and full-board accommodation, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish.
