Transatlantic Crossing – New York from Southampton

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Southampton on October 12, 2026 through Le Havre (Paris), Cobh (Cork), Belfast, Sydney, Halifax and New York is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: New York. The 6 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. The route threads through 5 countries along the British Isles & Western France coast: France, Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada and United States. Of the stops, New York tends to be the one people talk about: The skyline that never stops inspiring. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Sun, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 12 nights. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
