Can I take a boat from NY to Europe?
Can I take a boat from NY to Europe? Cunard maintain a scheduled transatlantic passenger service between Europe and the United States, usually one sailing a month in each direction between Southampton & New York from April to December taking 7 nights. You travel aboard the greatest ocean liner in the world, Cunard's Queen Mary 2 (QM2).
Do passenger ships still cross the Atlantic?
Currently, only one ocean liner that still operates on trans-Atlantic voyages is the Queen Mary 2. Cruise ships, instead, are used more for tourism and recreational purposes and not so much for transportation.
Is it cheaper to travel by boat?
It's cheaper (and cooler) than flying. Cargo cruises cost between $65 and $125 per day, which includes lodging and three meals a day. Voyages usually last between 40 and 50 days, but some people opt for segmented trips that last a few weeks, leaving on a boat, disembarking at a port, and returning home by plane.
Can I sail to Europe instead of flying?
While it is not as fast a means of transportation as flying, it is still possible to sail both ways and see something of Europe within a reasonable period of time. Speaking generally, there are two ways to cross the Atlantic by sea.
