It’s unsurprising to many that Mediterranean Cruises are popular choice for families between the months of April to September – beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, and rich history and culture all under an umbrella of a warm sunny climate, couple this with spectacular ships sailing from the UK and you have the makings for an unforgettable holiday. Whilst many families will opt to travel during the school holiday months of July and August, other more flexible travellers seeking cooler weather and fewer tourists may find the shoulder months of April, May and September more suitable. However, if you wanted to increase your chances of enjoying hot, sunny weather while also avoiding crowds, June is also a good time to cruise the Mediterranean as school holidays are yet to commence.
Particular interests and reasons for travel also play a major factor in when best to cruise the Med. For wine aficionados the wine harvest season of September, when the grapes become ripe and ready for fermentation, holds great appeal and offers an extra layer of interest to wine tours and tastings. The reliable weather of August brings with it festival season in many parts of The Mediterranean, most notably: La Tomatina Festival (near Valencia, Spain) - Tomato Throwing Festival; Festa Major de Gràcia (Barcelona, Spain) - Barcelona's biggest most colourful festival; and Summer Festival (Dubrovnik) - a celebration of the fine arts.
No matter when you chose to visit, Norway (specifically the Norwegian Fjords) is a great year-round travel destination, with activities that vary according to the time of year you chose to sail. During spring, Norwegian Fjords cruises see fewer tourists than the height of summer cruises - snow and ice have melted resulting in dramatic and powerful waterfalls, and trees and flowers are in bloom making it an attractive period for travellers hoping for a more laid-back yet picturesque experience. On the other hand, with its warmer weather, greater opportunity for varied outdoor activities, and the fascinating midnight sun (where between May and July the sun never sets) the high season of summer draws in crowds from the world over looking to hike, kayak and spot seals, seabirds, and perhaps even whales or musk ox on wildlife safaris.
TIP: For those wishing to experience the phenomena of the midnight sun, look for itineraries featuring Tromsø, during May and July.
