Is January a good time to cruise?
January is a GREAT time to cruise! Whether you’re looking for an all-inclusive luxury cruise aboard a small ship or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the Arctic or South Africa, you’ll find plenty of options. Additionally, January can be a cost-effective time to embark on a cruise holiday, thanks to early booking discounts most cruise lines offer. It’s also common for operators to bolster the value of selected January sailings with added luxuries such as onboard spending money or accommodation upgrades.
Where to cruise in January
From a UK perspective, the Caribbean and the Canaries lead the way for winter sun destinations. Both are easily accessible, thanks to frequent flight departures and a variety of no-fly options for those who’d prefer to sail from the UK. Alternatively, if you have the time to spare, you might want to consider going a little further in search of adventure. For example, January is one of the best months to explore Antarctica, while the Americas and Australasia also welcome their fair share of cruise ships during the first month of the year.
