There is no right time except for now, especially if the sea breeze is calling out to you. You can plan a spontaneous trip to the Caribbean Islands anytime you like, but there are ways to have an even better experience.
Today, we will discuss the best time to go on a cruise. It depends on the location you want to cruise to and the experience you want to have. Another factor is how far or close to home you want to travel and the months of your cruise trip.
November and December
With Christmas and the New Year drawing in close, these are the perfect months to visit beaches and cruise to warmer climates. We recommend you tour the Caribbean and explore Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas. You can also visit southeast Asia and cruise around the Indian Ocean to visit Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia.
Summer is just beginning in the southern hemisphere, so you can pack your bag, cruise to Antarctica, and catch the glorious seals, penguins, and whales.
January and February
Start your new year with a majestic cruise trip to some Sun-bathed regions worldwide. The shortest trip from Europe is to the Canary Islands, and many cruise lines offer trips between Morocco, Madeira, and the Canary Islands.
The other option is to explore the Caribbean, Africa’s southern coast, and the Middle East. Dubai is a great starting point leading toward Oman. You can also tour the Gulf of Thailand and experience cruise travel through the Indian Ocean.
If you want to move further east, you can discover Australia and New Zealand in summer, Brazil if you are looking to travel down South, and even plan a cruise trip to Antarctica which will be all daylight.
March and April
This is the time to get the best cruise offers and travel on transatlantic and repositioning cruises. You can cruise back to Europe if you are already away from home. If you are starting off from the UK, a cruise trip to Northern Europe and Scandanavian countries is sure to be filled with excitement and cold winds.
April is also perfect (almost a traditional choice) to visit the Pacific Islands.
May and June
Summer is still cool enough for you to enjoy if you plan a cruise trip to the Baltic states, British Isles, Scandinavia, and western Europe. You can catch the magical summer solstice in June and enjoy “white nights.” Other cruise trips that are worth checking out are towards the Pacific and Mediterranean.
July and August
Beat the heat and enjoy the summer holidays by cruising to Alaska and the continent of North America. The Baltic Sea and Norwegian fjords are among the top favourite cruise spots. If you want to catch the gorgeous Northern Lights, you should book a cruise trip to Northern Norway or the Arctic.
September and October
Make the most of this round of repositioning cruises, and explore the Middle East. Some cruise lines go further east and pass the Persian Gulf, while others will take you toward Southeast Asia, where you can visit Singapore and Hong Kong.
You can visit the Canary Islands and Hawaii any time of the year. Are you looking for a trusted partner for cruise port transfer? We offer the best Southampton cruise transfer services. Book your ride with Go Comfort to kickstart your vacation with a bang.
