Your question asks specifically about luxury cruise ships, so a specific answer is yes; lines like Cunard, Silversea, Windstar, Crystal, Seabourn, and now I think you can include Oceania in this category, often offer trans-Atlantic/trans-Pacific sailings. Most of these are called "repositioning cruises" - that's when a cruise line needs to move a ship from the Caribbean to Europe for the new season (for example). Cunard still does scheduled/often trans-Atlantic sailings.
What you may not be aware of is that virtually all major cruise lines offer "repositioning cruises". Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Princess, NCL, and even Carnival, need to move their ships from one geographic area to another as the seasons change. These cruises are very popular with a certain segment of clients for three reasons: #1) most of the time is spent "at sea", meaning to cross the Atlantic you'll spend 5 or 6 days just enjoying life on-board your ship, without stopping at any ports; #2) these sailings are usually less expensive to entice more passengers, and #3) these cruises are "generally" geared to a more "mature" client.
I hope this information was helpful to you. If you are interested in booking a cruise, do yourself a favor and go see a good travel agent.
Bon Voyage. |
