Transatlantic Cruise Port Highlights | What We Loved & What We’d Do Differently

If you’re planning a Transatlantic cruise and wondering what the ports are really like, this video shares our honest experience exploring every stop entirely on foot. From the energy of New York City to the waterfront charm of Halifax, the volcanic beauty of Ponta Delgada, and the historic streets of Lisbon, Cádiz, Málaga, Marseille, Gibraltar, and Paris — we packed every port day with walking, sightseeing, food, and independent exploring. Most days involved 10,000 to 20,000 steps, and one of the biggest takeaways from this cruise was just how walkable many of these ports really are.
