Transatlantic Cruise

You’ll need your sea legs to follow in the Pilgrims’ footsteps this Thanksgiving! We propose reenacting the seafaring adventure that those adventurous pioneers set out on nearly 400 years ago aboard the legendary Mayflower. Happily, you can experience the exhilaration of crossing the Atlantic without having to rough it as the poor Pilgrims surely did – we've discovered that some of the world's top cruise lines offer transatlantic crossings around Thanksgiving week. Years past have seen Cunard Line's lavish Queen Mary 2 whisks travelers from Southampton, England to New York (the last of these six-night sailings for 2008 is November 15 – just shy of the holiday, unfortunately), while this year Norwegian Cruise Line operate a 13-night routes from Barcelona to New York City disembarking on November 16 – a little off path from the original course between Plymouth, England, and Plymouth, Massachusetts, but a fitting tribute all the same.
