Frequently Asked Questions
The Caribbean is the most popular cruise region for North American travelers, with year-round departures from Florida and other East Coast ports. By raw sailing count in our current inventory, Europe and the Mediterranean actually list the most departures, thanks to their large river and ocean fleets.
Winter is prime time for the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico and Hawaii, plus the southern hemisphere summer in South America, Australia and New Zealand. It is also the heart of Antarctica’s expedition season and the dry-season window for Panama Canal transits.
Summer belongs to Alaska, Bermuda, Canada and New England, and the peak Europe and Mediterranean season. The Caribbean and Bahamas keep sailing all summer too, often at the year’s best prices.
