crossing atlantic
Hello experts,
I hope somebody can share some information about a crossing of atlantic by ship from any port in europe arriving in Mexico, or basically anything that do not pass USA due to visa requirements.
Many thanks

Many of the transatlantic cruises have an intermediate stop at a Caribbean port prior to the US. You can ask to disembark at that port. Most ultimately end up in the US. Best bet is to contact a travel agent who can help you in Mexico or call the cruise company you are interested in directly.

Mainly the idea is: departing from any port in Europa to get somehow to Mexico, without having to pass though US or any teritorry which requires US visa.

cruise to caribbean / south america then connect to mexico
but also, if there are stops in US areas along the way, dont have to get off
so length makes a difference, certainly many stop in mexico, central america, panama canal, etc
if talking to cruise travel agents, would probably make sense to talk to ones based in europe, and perhaps south america

Best to completely avoid an itinerary with the US on it at all if that is the situation.

custom silversea >
spain/portugal to bermuda
portugal to turks and caicos
published silversea >
spain (and gibraltar and morocco) to bardados
hapag lloyd has brazil to costa rica, unfortunately they do (costa rica and) brazil to europe not from europe
i have seen them do venezuela in the past (to/from europe) currently also doing to montevideo as well as africa
i imagine there are cruises that connect to very close to mexico very quickly, but theyre still going to be long
actually, combining two different cruiselines might work as well
