Transatlantic crossing

A Transatlantic crossing refers to traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, typically between North America and Europe. Historically, it involved ships navigating the vast ocean, often taking several days or weeks, depending on the vessel and conditions. Modern crossings are usually by passenger ships or aircraft, which dramatically reduce travel time. This journey links continents culturally, economically, and socially, fostering international connections. It requires careful planning for safety, weather, and logistical considerations, especially in traditional ship voyages. Today, transatlantic crossings remain essential for trade, tourism, and global movement, symbolizing the enduring link between the Americas and Europe.
