If you’re living in Northern America and are dreaming of a trip to Europe but hate the idea of flying 20 hours one way, you’re in for a treat. I just found incredible back-to-back cruises that take you from the US to Europe, around Europe, and then back to the US - all at incredible prices that are pretty much the same as you’d pay for a flight (except they include all meals and a cabin to sleep in throughout the trip!)
A bit on why this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:
Transatlantic cruises occur twice a year, in the spring and fall, as part of cruise lines' repositioning schedules. In the spring, ships typically sail from the U.S. to Europe to prepare for the summer season in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. This allows cruise lines to generate revenue while relocating their vessels. In the fall, the process reverses, with ships repositioning from Europe to the U.S. to begin Caribbean and warm-weather itineraries for the winter season.
Finding a transatlantic cruise from the U.S. to Europe in the fall is extremely rare, as most repositioning voyages follow the traditional seasonal pattern. As a result, travelers usually take a cruise in one direction and fly the other. However, this year, we found a unique opportunity to complete an entire European trip without any flights!
That aside, how cool would it be to have a 2-month trip to some of the most amazing countries in Europe, all with a group of built-in friends with the same lifestyle, mindset and love for travel? All while your kids get to make friends and build memories!
