Creator's Key Takeaways

transatlantic cruises are very reasonably priced the cruise lines need to reposition their ships from the Americas to Europe in the spring and then back in the fall

YouTube Video Description

Transatlantic cruises offer great value but are they for you? In this video we will explore the pros and cons based on our cruise aboard Symphony of the Seas from Miami to Barcelona. We will also share our experiences in Malaga and Valencia as well as using Amtrak rather than driving to the port.
