Transatlantic sailing:
Sustainable crossing with Neoline

Transatlantic cruising is undergoing a revolution with the arrival of Neoline, which is reinventing the art of crossing the Atlantic by offering a unique maritime experience aboard Neoliner Origin, its first ro-ro cargo ship. This new-style transatlantic cruise combines the authenticity of the great historic crossings with the ecological innovation of the 21st century. Embark on a unique, environmentally-friendly, human and emotionally-charged adventure.

A Transatlantic voyage

The Largest Commercial Cargo Vessel

This transatlantic crossing takes place aboard the Neoliner Origin, a 136-meter vessel powered by 3,000 m² of sails. Unlike conventional transatlantic cruises on giant liners, this unique experience lets you discover ocean crossings as they were in the days of the great explorers, but with modern comforts and cutting-edge technology.

Neoliner Origin stands out from other transatlantic cruise ships thanks to its hybrid design combining main sails and auxiliary propulsion. This innovation reduces CO2 emissions by 80-90%, offering environmentally conscious passengers a genuine alternative to traditional cruises.

Exclusive Transatlantic Cruise Itinerary

This transatlantic crossing offers a unique itinerary linking France to North America via some of the world’s most prestigious destinations:

Saint-Nazaire: historic departure port, cradle of French shipbuilding
Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon: An authentic stopover in this little-known jewel of the French American territory
Baltimore (United States): Immerse yourself in American history and enjoy privileged access to the East Coast

This transatlantic cross-country cruise offers an enriching cultural experience, with stops in authentic ports far removed from the crowds of classic cruise destinations.

Top-of-the-range services on board

This transatlantic crossing offers exclusive facilities and services:

77 m² passenger lounge: panoramic relaxation area for ocean views
Sun deck: outdoor terrace to enjoy the sea spray and the spectacle of the sails
Gym: Keeping you fit during the crossing
Wifi connection: Stay connected even in the heart of the Atlantic
Meal in the officer's wardroom: a unique experience to share with the crew of 13marins experts

Exceptional passenger experience

Living at sea

Your transatlantic crossing takes place in the intimacy of just 12 passengers, divided into 6 double cabins of 27 m² with private balconies. This exclusive configuration guarantees a friendly, personalized atmosphere, very different from transatlantic cruises on liners accommodating several thousand passengers.

Each cabin on this transatlantic crossing has been carefully designed by Sebastien Flamant (Flamant Interior Design), combining maritime elegance with contemporary comfort. The private balconies offer breathtaking ocean views, allowing you to admire the sails in action and the majesty of the Atlantic.

Authentic maritime experience

Unlike traditional transatlantic cruises, which are all about entertainment, this crossing is all about maritime authenticity. You’ll witness sailing maneuvers, take part in meteorological navigation and discover the secrets of wind propulsion. This transatlantic cruise reconnects you with the very essence of ocean sailing.

Sailing times and periods

Optimized crossing times

This transatlantic cruise respects carefully studied sailing times:

Saint-Nazaire Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon: 8 days each way
Saint-Nazaire Baltimore? 13 days one way, 15 days return

The full 28-day rotation offers a variety of transatlantic cruising options, depending on your availability and your desires for discovery.

Seasonality of the transatlantic crossing

This transatlantic cruise takes advantage of the optimal conditions of the North Atlantic. The service begins in summer 2025 with a monthly frequency, evolving towards a departure every two weeks with the arrival of the sister ship. This regularity allows you to choose the ideal period according to your climatic preferences and personal constraints.

Differentiation from conventional cruises

Responsible marine tourism

This transatlantic crossing is part of a responsible maritime tourism approach, drastically reducing the environmental impact of your trip. While conventional transatlantic cruises generate significant emissions, Neoliner Origin proves that it is possible to cross the ocean while decarbonizing your voyage.

This approach appeals to customers who are aware of environmental issues and wish to travel without compromising their ecological values. Your transatlantic crossing thus becomes a militant act for more sustainable maritime tourism.

Human and cultural experience

Unlike mass-market transatlantic cruises, this experience favors authentic encounters and cultural exchange. The small number of passengers favors the creation of lasting bonds between travelers who share the same values.

Stops in authentic ports (Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) offer a cultural immersion not possible on conventional cruise itineraries. You’ll discover unspoiled territories, far from mass tourism.
