Every spring, the fleet crosses the Atlantic from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, and the repositioning sailings are the best per-night value in cruising. Spring 2027 crossings are on sale now, and the numbers start under $101 a night.
The essentials
Two patterns define the season. First, per-night value is extraordinary: Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas sails a 14-night Spain, Italy and Azores transatlantic from Cape Liberty, New Jersey, on April 25, 2027, from $1,402 per person with taxes and fees included - under $101 a night. Second, newer hardware costs more but stays cheap by the night: the brand-new Legend of the Seas crosses from Fort Lauderdale on April 25, 2027, on a 14-night Spanish transatlantic from $1,873 per person including fees - still only $134 a night for the newest ship in the fleet.

How to read these prices
All prices are per person, double occupancy, lead cabins, and both Cruise Web figures include taxes and fees - rare for repositioning listings, so treat them as the honest baseline. The catch is always the flight home: these are one-ways, and a spring Europe-to-US one-way can add $400 to $800 per person, though transatlantic one-ways are often cheaper than summer peak. Sea-day heavy itineraries - six to nine consecutive days at sea - are the point, not a flaw; they are why the fare is low. The transatlantic route guide covers what the crossing is like, and the Voyageworthy fare database tracks live repositioning prices.
