Europe - Weather & Climate
« Return | Ports of Call » | Weather & Climate » | Extras »
High Season: May - August; spring and fall sailings for lines offering only those dates.
Both European and American families flock to many of the summer sailing dates (especially August), making for a nice cultural mix of passengers. As with all places in season, the tradeoffs will be bigger crowds, higher prices and steamy temperatures.
Low/Shoulder Season: March - April; September - November; some year-round sailings
This is the time to cruise the mega-ships minus lots of kids. Plus, the weather is ideal in late spring and early autumn (note: November can be rainy in some areas of the Mediterranean). Not all lines consider this low season though; some ships are sent to the region only for the spring and fall months and sell out their sailings without many special offers. Some parts of Europe are in-season all year long - during the deepest, darkest winter months itineraries tend to focus on Morocco and the Canary Islands.
