Cruise Overview
Set sail for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and venture across the ocean on a Transatlantic cruise. Your 17-night adventure begins in Southampton, England, an exciting city that’s worth exploring a few days before your cruise starts. Once on Mariner of the Seas, you’ll visit incredible destinations as you journey across the ocean to New Orleans, Louisiana .
Day 1 2027-10-18 Southampton, England Departs at 5:00 pm
National LanguageEnglish
Currency AcceptedBritish Pound Sterling
A cruise out of Southampton unlocks all kinds of incredible destinations, from French and Spanish wine country to Norway’s majestic fjords. But this charming port is also a great destination in and of itself. Spend some time getting to know it before your vacation — you won’t be disappointed. If you have a soft spot for medieval history, you’ll find plenty of interesting sites here. Like Bargate, a gatehouse that dates back over a thousand years to Norman times. Or visit St. Michael's church on Castle Way — built in the 11th century, it’s home to ancient Norman artifacts and relics. Then, fast forward a few centuries at the Tudor house in St. Michael’s Square, which served as the home of a wealthy merchant family in the 15th century. Today it’s a museum that showcases exhibits featuring nearly a thousand years of local history.
Your ship departs promptly at 5:00 pm, so plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your holiday early.
