Enjoy smaller crowds, cooler weather and best of all – reduced fares. The islands won’t be as full of tourists and you’ll catch the last of the dry season. Heaps of other options are here too. See spectacular autumn foliage in the New England and Canadian region, explore ancient ruins in the Western Mediterranean or witness breathtaking volcanic landscapes in Asia. Whichever October cruise destination you prefer, you are sure to create unforgettable memories you will cherish for a lifetime. With less cruise demand than in the summer, savvy cruisers looking for a bargain can often find them during the October month. Perfect for those wishing to avoid the crowds, guests can look forward to a quieter, more relaxed cruise experience, plus a more exclusive atmosphere both on and off board. At your destination, you can expect fewer tourists and shorter queues, making your daily schedule easier to achieve. If you wish for a child-free cruise experience, then you will be pleased to see fewer children onboard, as schools are usually in session during this time of year. October cruises offer huge savings, smaller crowds and more relaxation – what’s not to love?
Though autumn weather brings cooler temperatures and less humidity than in the summer months, sudden weather changes can sometimes occur, as the hurricane season is active in the October month. Those sailing in the Mediterranean and Caribbean region may experience delays and cancellations of shore excursions and land tours, but usually cruisers will only experience short sessions of rainfall and light winds. We recommend packing a light raincoat in instances of rain showers and chilly evenings. Be prepared to be flexible in cases of delays or last-minute itinerary changes that you may experience while cruising.
Featured destinations for October cruises range from iconic American coasts to Mediterranean favourites. Witness the stunning autumn foliage of New England in the American Northeast, attend a delightful grape harvest festival in Italy or gather olives alongside Grecian farmers. For those wishing for a more far-flung destination, choose from amazing cruise itineraries that stop in Japan, Vietnam and Singapore. Whether you have your eye on a mini-cruise of 4-nights or an extensive voyage of 30-nights, we have the perfect October cruise for you.
