A 13-night transatlantic crossing for under £930 per person works out at roughly £36 a night — proper value for full board and a cabin. Flights aren't included, but that's the catch with cruise deals.
The deal
Norwegian Pearl, 13 nights full board, departing Ravenna (near Bologna) on 1 November 2026, arriving Philadelphia 14 November. Inside stateroom for two people. Price is £929.50 per person. Flights extra.
Why we like it
Transatlantic crossings rarely come cheap, and the nightly rate here is genuinely tight for all meals, entertainment, and a bed included. You're paying for the journey itself rather than port hopping — if you want to actually cross the Atlantic without flying, this saves compared to a scheduled flight plus separate accommodation.
That said, inside cabins are compact and you'll have a lot of sea days (good if you like reading; less so if you need constant distraction). Norwegian's oceanfront promenade and dining venues are decent enough, but "dine under the stars" marketing speak shouldn't overshadow that quality varies. Book early November if you don't mind autumn Atlantic swells.
How to book
Head to Norwegian Cruise Line's site or check availability through Seascanner, which flagged this price. Budget separately for flights to/from Europe and Philadelphia — that'll likely add £300–500 to your total depending on where you're flying from. Cabin prices shift constantly, so move quickly if the stateroom type suits you.
