Cruise Away Your Winter Blues: Top Winter Cruises

As the days get colder and the nights get longer it’s almost impossible not to dream of getting away from the miserable winter weather and sail away into the sunset. There are many advantages to cruising in the colder months, and many fabulous destinations to be visited. Take advantage of cheaper prices, fewer people and a more relaxed crowd of travellers while aboard a cruise.

 And the benefits don’t end there – you can soak up the sun in hotter climates with comfortable temperatures, and you can enjoy more secluded spots and quieter tourist attractions.
Grab your suitcase, sun cream and cruise holiday insurance and get ready for an adventure to a selection of wonderful destinations.

The Caribbean

What is normally a very popular destination will greet you with quiet beaches and cooler weather in the winter so you can really get stuck into what’s on offer in this simply stunning location. If you fancy trying out some water sports, this is the prime time. Snorkelling, diving and windsurfing are just some of the exciting activities to sample, or you may prefer to soak up the glorious sunshine on any of the white sandy beaches. The Caribbean is a vibrant atmosphere of colour, liquor and music – you won’t be able to keep your feet from moving!

Australia

Australia’s ‘dry season’ equates to warm sunshine without the searing heat, perfect for exploring its spectacular outdoors. Many cruises will take you on fascinating expeditions to secluded gorges so you can revel in the wonders of the natural world, while enjoying clear turquoise waters and beautiful weather. Aside from the plentiful wildlife and jaw-dropping beauty of this country, you may also be intrigued by the weird and wonderful winter solstice festival, hosted by the conceptual Museum of Old and New Art.

Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is a fabulous destination for a relaxing but insightful winter adventure. Breathe in the sights, sounds and smells of Asia, as the food and culture will surprise you and delight you to no end. Explore Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia in the cooler months to get the very best of their fantastic climates and whimsical and enchanting cultural phenomena. Mazes of rice paddies, curious ancient temples and buzzing outdoor markets, along with a rich community of approachable and smiley people are all aspects which you can take pleasure in far more when there are fewer tourists.

Canada and Alaska

As the sea traffic going in and out of Canada and Alaska quiets and slows during the winter season, the best opportunity to enjoy the incredible scenery and delightfully cool, crisp weather arises. Both destinations offer picture-perfect snow-capped mountainous backdrops and glassy crystal glaciers. Canada’s cities are something else in the metropolitan world; filled with bright lights and a lively ambience, there is plenty to do and see.

Before You Go

Before jumping ship on your gloomy winter in England and landing straight onto a cruise ship, ensure you have invested in suitable cruise holiday insurance. You’ll want to put your feet up and take in the wonders of each destination while on your cruise; holiday insurance is an absolute must to put your mind at ease and keep you protected on your travels.
Leave the cold, dark winter at home this year and indulge in a wonderful global adventure via ship.
