“LAND!”
A fellow traveller eagerly pointed to a speck on the horizon. Around us, the azure Atlantic Ocean stretched endlessly, complemented by a sunny blue sky, as if the two were part of a Piet Mondrian painting. Two days ago, on November 23, 2019, we had set sail from Barcelona and cruised across the enchanting Mediterranean Sea. On the previous night, after navigating the Strait of Gibraltar, we’d finally met the majestic Atlantic Ocean. The welcome however, was a stormy one; angry waves lapped at the sides of the ship, rocking us from side to side on our beds. The soothing lullaby of the Mediterranean Sea was replaced by an ominous groan that made us tremble in our sleep. It wasn’t until dawn broke, blanketing the ocean in a sheath of gold, that the mighty Atlantic eventually calmed down.
To the thrill-seeking seafarers amongst us, this was but a preview of the adventures that lay ahead on this transatlantic voyage, aboard the Marina of the Oceania Cruises. These adventures would be the highlights of a singular experience—navigating the Atlantic Ocean over two weeks, crossing the Equator, and passing through numerous time zones, docking at three continents and witnessing the incredible sights, sounds, and tastes of faraway lands—and doing it all from the plush comforts of one of the top luxury cruises in the world.
Now, that speck of land grew bigger. Our first port of call was within sight.
