Winter Cruises

Winter sun cruises
The Caribbean is at its best from December to April, with warm seas, island beach days and dry weather. The Canary Islands offer winter warmth closer to home and can be reached without flying from Southampton. For a longer escape, cruises to South America, Australia and Southeast Asia follow summer in the southern hemisphere.

Northern Lights cruises
From late autumn to early spring, sailings along the Norwegian coast take you above the Arctic Circle, where the Northern Lights can appear on clear, dark nights. Cities such as Tromsø and Alta offer husky sledding, snowy landscapes and cosy evenings ashore.

Christmas and New Year at sea
Festive cruises take the stress out of the holidays. There's no cooking or washing up, and ships celebrate with decorations, special menus and New Year's Eve parties on deck. Christmas markets cruises in Northern Europe and on the river are another seasonal favourite.
