This is one of those fares that makes Goose do a double-take. A 12-night Royal Caribbean transatlantic cruise for a family of four for just over £1,200 total works out at roughly £306 each — and there are no flights to worry about on the way out.

The sailing heads south from Southampton with stops in La Coruña and Vigo in Spain, followed by Ponta Delgada in the Azores, before settling in for the Atlantic crossing and arriving in Miami on 30 October.

Itinerary

  • Southampton
  • La Coruña, Spain
  • Vigo, Spain
  • Ponta Delgada, Azores
  • Miami, Florida
  • Several sea days across the Atlantic

Those sea days are a big part of the appeal on a ship like Freedom of the Seas. There are pools, kids’ clubs, entertainment, sports facilities and plenty of included dining, so families have considerably more to do than on a traditional ocean crossing.

What’s included

  • 12 nights aboard Freedom of the Seas
  • Inside cabin for a family of four
  • Full-board dining
  • Cruise from Southampton
  • Spanish and Azores ports of call
  • Arrival into Miami
  • Around £306 per person

At £1,223.60 for all four people, it works out at only about £25.50 per person, per night, which is exceptionally cheap for accommodation, meals, entertainment and transport across the Atlantic.

Good to know

This is cruise-only, so we'll need to arrange your own journey home from Miami. That could also be an opportunity to bolt on a few days in Florida — Miami, the Keys or even Orlando — before flying back.

Check the exact cabin configuration, gratuities, drinks package and fare conditions before booking, particularly when squeezing four people into an inside cabin.
