Trans-Atlantic ships
Because the dollar is so week, I figger I can cut down on my time in
England before and after a cruise leaving from Dover by taking ships across the Atlantic. Apparently this is no longer an easy or economical thing to do. My attempts to find information have found some but most of it is quite old, including a 1997 post in this forum. I want to travel from Miami after July 20 to arrive in England (Dover preferred) no later than July 27 and from England after August 14 to arrive in Manhattan no later than August 21. I really don't want to fly but fear that I must. Thank you. |

I really don't want to fly but fear that I must. The only ship still regularly sailing Trans-Atlantic (Brooklyn, NY -- Southampton, UK) is Cunard's Queen Mary 2. It spends 6 days at sea and costs (typically) about $1,400 one-way. Further info at http://www.qm2-uk.co.uk/ Regards Gerry |

Further info at http://www.qm2-uk.co.uk/ That may be the only passenger cruise ship doing it, but there are plenty of cargo ships doing the crossing and many have passenger facilities.
