The Ship-Hop Atlas

Two-ship Atlantic crossings, April 2027 to December 2028. Already researched, matched, and mapped. You just pick yours.

I read two years of sailing schedules from more than 30 cruise lines, matched the ships that can carry you across the Atlantic and back, and drew every route. That work is done. It's in here.

2027–2028 EDITION · SAILINGS THROUGH DEC 22, 2028 Map of the Atlantic with cruise routes between North America and Europe

What is inside

79 ways to cruise from North America to Europe and cruise home again, each one mapped, dated, and scored. Every trip answers five questions at a glance: how long, how far, how you make the hop, where, and when. If a card makes you leave the page to go research, the card failed, and these do not.

Three ways in: browse the sections below, answer four questions in the Trip Finder, or play with the routes on the Map Explorer.

The No-Fly-Home Collection
25 trips. No transatlantic flights. You leave from a home port, sail to Europe, and sail home to the same port. Some hops inside Europe still fly, and every card says so when one does.
Open The No-Fly-Home Collection
Step Off, Step On
5 trips. Same port in Europe for the handoff. You may land back at a different home port, but in Europe the change of ships is a walk.

The Europe Stays
49 trips. Real nights ashore in Europe between the two ships, sorted by nights ashore and then by how far the hop is.

The Hop Cities

Every crossing hands you from one ship to the next in one of eight European cities. Each city has its own page: how the port connects to the city, what the hop actually involves, and what is worth knowing before you land.

Thank you for buying the guide, truly. I built it so you could do this yourself: the routes, the dates, the hops, all the research in one place, no chasing me for it. What it can't do is be me. Picking your cabin, watching your price, and sorting your booking is the personal work I do for my booking clients, and it isn't tucked inside this purchase. If you'd like that too, I'd love to have you: Start Planning is right there, guide buyers welcome. And if the map was all you needed, that's a win in my book. Have an amazing trip.

This is a guide, not the final authority. Everything is to help, not guarantee. If you need an additional protection layer, that's me. Book it yourself, you carry the risk.

Before you book anything

These sailings may require separate reservations, deposits, payment deadlines, and cancellation terms. Confirm the booking arrangements for both segments before paying.

One advisor booking both ships can often hold cabins on both while you decide, so the pair cannot break apart mid-decision. Holds depend on the cruise line, the fare, and availability. Some fares ask for payment right away, and two holds do not always end at the same time. It is not a guarantee. It is me hunting it down with both clocks in front of me, which is easier than you watching them alone.

Full honesty, all the fine print in one place: The Honest Page.
