Why book a July cruise?
The northern part of the earth tilts towards the sun between April and September. Due to this, summer occurs in the northern hemisphere in June, July and August and in the Southern Hemisphere in December, January and February. The poles of the earth experience the greatest changes, as a result, in the summertime, the North Pole experiences the Midnight Sun, continuous daylight for 6 months. In some countries, such as Iceland, Norway, Greenland and parts of Canada, you can witness this natural phenomenon for yourself, with the sun not quite setting in some areas. Visiting northerly countries during the Midnight Sun on a July cruise can be a magical experience. Slow sunsets and sunrises create picturesque twilight skies which last for hours. So keep your camera handy!
Visit the hidden gems of the Mediterranean and Adriatic in July
If you’re longing to feel the warmth of the sun in the Mediterranean but don’t want to encounter the usual crowds, head for the lesser-known areas. We offer multiple cruises in July to the Greek Isles, allowing you to slow things down and explore at your own pace. For the best chance of missing the summer crowds on Western and Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic cruises, make the most of your time at ports such as Valletta in Malta, Cadiz in Spain and Kotor in Montenegro. There are plenty of award-winning cruise lines travelling to these locations throughout July.
