In this highly anticipated Episode 8 of the Expert Cruise Show, hosts Chris and Anthony take you on a deep dive into a voyage that holds a special place in their hearts: the Transatlantic Crossing. This isn't your average cruise; it's an "acquired taste," particularly across the often-unpredictable North Atlantic. But for lovers of ocean liners and their rich history – from the days of the Titanic and mass immigration to the modern marvels – it's an unparalleled experience.We explore the historical significance of this crossing, the emotional impact of seeing the Statue of Liberty on the horizon, and how the experience has evolved from two-week journeys to today's 7-day voyages. Learn about the remarkable Queen Mary 2, the only ship still offering a scheduled transatlantic service, designed specifically to cut through the waves. We also discuss repositioning cruises as an affordable alternative and share insights into Cunard's unparalleled onboard activities that make days at sea anything but boring.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join—🛳️ Expert Cruise Blog: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/🚢 Chris' Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/📚 Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Cruise Merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/--🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT:Chris' Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg Chris' Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQnVlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJPLav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales.--Disclaimer: ‘The Expert Cruise Show’ is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
