Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 6 countries over 15 nights, starting in Norfolk and finishing in Dover, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 6 port days and 10 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

The 15 Night Transatlantic is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Carnival Sunshine. You board in Norfolk and disembark in Dover, calling at 6 ports across 6 countries along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in Virginia (Norfolk), Nova Scotia (Sydney), Scotland (Greenock), Northern Ireland (Belfast), Ireland (Cork) and England (Dover).

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Norfolk and home from Dover, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 10 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
