Transatlantic Cruise
the great Atlantic crossing.
At some point there is nothing all around but the Atlantic. No coast, no signal, only the ship, the wind and a horizon that changes colour every evening. The days take on a different rhythm; you read, you watch, you grow quiet. After a week at sea you are, in some small way, a different person, slower and more open.
Crossing the Atlantic is the oldest of the great sea voyages, and to this day it keeps a magic all its own. The routes usually begin in Lisbon or in the Mediterranean, then run out to the Atlantic islands: to Madeira with Funchal, to the Canaries with Tenerife and La Palma, and on to Cape Verde and Mindelo. Then come the long days on the open sea, before the first islands of the Caribbean rise ahead, Barbados with Bridgetown, or the ship sets a course for Florida and Bermuda.

This is not a voyage you book for the harbours, but for the in-between. On a small ship like those of Silversea, the days at sea become the real luxury: time, space, a kitchen that deserves the name, and a sea that reaches to the edge of the world. The voyages last around two weeks. You sail west in autumn, in November and December, and back to Europe in spring, above all in March.

Under sail
The queens of the crossing: under sail
The loveliest way to cross the Atlantic is the way the old explorers did it: under sail, with the trade winds at your back. On the great square-riggers of the Sea Cloud fleet, the crew still climb by hand into the yards and set the canvas sail by sail; and once the engine falls silent, for weeks on end it is the wind alone that carries the ship. The tall ships of Star Clippers set their sails in a more modern way, worked from the deck by winches, yet they are every bit as sublime a sight. Add to these the yachts of Sailing Classics and classic tall ships. These Atlantic passages are a world unto themselves, and we keep them as a travel category of their own.
