Mrs Fox and I have done the transatlantics each way for the past three years (with Holland America Line) and enjoyed every one.

Most have a few ports of call in Spain, but the only one in the Atlantic is Canaries, Azores or Madeira.

However, ship usually organizes lecture series on board and if you just like to relax and read several books then it is a cheap way to travel. With so many ships crossing you can afford to wait until the last few weeks to book (unless you desperately want to go on a specific ship).
