Why book a September cruise?
Rather than mourning the end of the summer here in the UK, why not take a look at our September cruise deals to New England and Canada? New England is said to be one of the most beautiful destinations to visit in September and Canada’s comfort foods are guaranteed to please as the weather cools. On a Canada cruise, you can tuck into pancakes with maple syrup, poutine (one of Canada’s most popular dishes made with fries, cheese curds and gravy) or a traditional Montréal smoked meat sandwich. Other popular places to see the colours of autumn on a cruise are Tokyo, Paris and Bruges.
Enjoy the last of the sunshine on a September cruise to Europe or the Mediterranean
For those feeling slightly unsettled at the thought of yet another summer passing by, a cruise to Europe or the Mediterranean to catch the last of the sunshine is an excellent idea and September is a great time to do so. Head to the sunnier climes or Portugal, including Porto, on a Douro River cruise or visit the picture-perfect city of Lisbon. Alternatively, cruise to southern Spain and stop at Cadiz, Gibraltar and Málaga, for comfortable September temperatures in the mid-20s. Best of all? You can sail from the UK, hassle-free.
September is the perfect time for wildlife spotting
Over in South America, towards the end of September and the start of October, the continent’s spring conditions mean wildflowers bloom and newborn animals emerge with the rise in temperatures. If you’re planning a cruise to Alaska via British Columbia, September is arguably the best time of year to witness grizzly bears catching salmon.
No-fly cruises in September offer the perfect autumn escape
September is also a fantastic time to set off on a no-fly cruise with various sailings departing from Southampton. With the summer rush behind, you can enjoy a more relaxed journey to destinations across Europe. Cruise to the Mediterranean and soak up the lingering warmth as you explore sun-drenched ports in Spain, Italy, and Greece. Or venture to Northern Europe, where you can witness the early autumn hues across the Norwegian fjords and the Baltic capitals. With cruise lines like P&O and Cunard offering seamless departures from Southampton, your next adventure is just a sail away.
