Transatlantic Cruises to Europe From Florida
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime as you cross the Atlantic Ocean on an immersive cruise from Florida to Europe, setting sail from Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Miami, or Orlando (Port Canaveral). Long, blissful days at sea are your time to commune with the ocean and discover exactly what takes our vacations to the next level, from globally-inspired cuisine to award-winning entertainment.
Naturally, there are stops along the way. You could break the journey in balmy Bermuda, where the beaches are pale pink and the golf courses emerald green. Other cruises call at the Azores Islands, a slice of Portugal in the mid-Atlantic, with wild landscapes shaped by lava. Once in Europe, the bucket-list experiences just keep coming. Discover Lisbon, Portugal’s captivating capital; Málaga, birthplace of Picasso; or ancient Cartagena, which pre-dates even the Romans.
Itineraries
Featured Ports of Call
Ponta Delgada, Azores
The verdant Azores do things differently. You’ll find Europe’s only tea and pineapple plantations on this volcanic archipelago, as well as hot springs, green crater lakes, and black sand beaches. Take in Ponta Delgada’s old balconied mansions and historical landmarks. Check out the Portas de Cidade, the city gates, and the elaborate carvings in the 16th-century Igreja Matriz de São Sebastião. Refuel on bolo lêvedo, local muffins, which ooze garlic butter.
Cartagena, Spain
Peel back layers of history in elegant Cartagena. The old walls, built in the 3rd century BC, predate the Romans. Then there’s the magnificent Roman Theatre, buried for centuries until it was found in the 1980s. Check out the fascinating Civil War Shelters Museum, where locals sheltered during the brutal 1930s conflict. Time to unwind? Sample Cartagena’s signature coffee, Café Asiatico, a boozy brew of espresso, brandy, Licor 43, and condensed milk.
Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal’s instantly likeable capital is crammed with opulent palaces and elegant squares, its old houses adorned with intricate azulejos tiles. See the city sprawled below you from the ramparts of Castelo de São Jorge. Let the mournful melodies of Fado sweep over you, and admire Belem Tower, celebrating Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Can’t get enough of the city’s famous pastel de nata custard tarts? Make your own in a cooking masterclass.
