Seasons to Sail

As cruise lines sail to many far flung areas of the world and we are all exploring these areas by cruise a regular question asked is
“when is the best time to go there?”
Cruise ships only visit certain areas at certain times of the year to make sure that you are there at the best time .
Here is a summary of the best time to visit these popular destinations.
ALASKA
This is a short season from May to October so you can have the best weather in the Alaskan Fjords.
AUSTRALIA
This is now a year long season although many ships are re-positioned here in our winter season which is the peak season down under.
CANADA & NEW ENGLAND
September & October are the best time to see ‘New England in the Fall’ and the Autumn colours.
CARIBBEAN
This is also a year long season although during the summer months ships are re positioned back to the Mediterranean. The weather is warm all year round but our summer months may see some hurricane weather .
DUBAI & MIDDLE EAST
Due to the humidity and heat in our summer months this is more of a stop off point for world cruises at the beginning of the year and for a winter sun destination.
