Transatlantic Positioning Voyages


ElegantCruises.com Offers Great Value and True Relaxation
aboard its Transatlantic Positioning Voyages!

Transatlantic positioning voyages remain an ideal way to “get away from it all” for a few weeks, and to enjoy sea lanes and ports-of-call not found on the typical cruise ship circuits. Spend long and restful days at sea, with none of the usual pressures to “do something” in port day after day.

There’s truly time to relax and unwind, enjoy the company of a few like-minded adventurers, savor excellent fare from the ship’s chef, and learn a few things from the onboard naturalist or historian. You’ll probably read a complete book…perhaps two or three? We promise a low-key atmosphere, with none of the constant hustle-and-bustle encountered on the large ships. In many ways, these transatlantic positioning voyages are akin to freighter travel, except with super comfortable accommodations and great food and service. Complimentary wine and beer served with lunch and dinner.

Cruise from Autumn into Spring aboard the M.S. Andrea;
Returned Home Relaxed and Refreshed


Andrea in Parati, Brazil

Each autumn, ElegantCruises positions its 106-passenger Andrea from Europe to the southernmost point of South America—Ushuaia, Argentina for a season of Antarctica cruises. In the spring, the process is reversed. You can take advantage of great value and great special features that make these transatlantic positioning voyages so attractive to the small ship cruise enthusiast:


Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

• Cabins are sold on a “first come—first served” basis; the earlier you book, the better cabin among categories 2 and 3 you will receive. Those looking for more spacious quarters pay a slight premium for category 1 staterooms and suites.

• There is no single supplement, as is typical with cruise ships. Single travelers pay no premium to enjoy a cabin all to themselves, paying the same low per person rate as double-occupancy passengers.

• Great, low cruise rates. Let’s be honest—travelers don’t book these transatlantic positioning voyages because of the abundance of port time in a particular country or region, they expect a good deal. Our objective is to cover our operating expenses as we move from one cruising season to another, across the globe. You benefit, with great low cruise rates.

An Autumn Favorite: Crossing the Atlantic aboard
the Legendary Sea Cloud


If you like deluxe small ships of the sailing variety, there’s no finer way to cross the North Atlantic than aboard the magnificent Sea Cloud. Few passenger vessels match the opulence and storied past of Sea Cloud. Built in 1931 by financier E.F. Hutton for his wife Marjorie Merriweather Post, this beautiful four-masted bark still sets the standard for yacht cruising. The transatlantic positioning voyage from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean is a classic for tall ship lovers; the long days at sea give sailing enthusiasts the chance to watch this beautiful vessel glide along under her thousands of square feet of brilliant white sail.

We recommend that you reserve your place as soon as possible aboard Sea Cloud’s transatlantic positioning voyage, as it always is a sell-out.
