Why book a February cruise?
If you’re thinking of whisking away a loved one on a February cruise, there are so many romantic destinations to choose from. February is carnival time in Venice, with streets full of revellers in beautiful gilded masks. For a taste of luxury, head to Hawaii, a wonderfully romantic cruise destination. And in February, the sun will still be shining and the water will glisten throughout the day. If you’ve always wanted to visit New York, this time of the year is perfect. The city that never sleeps offers an abundance of romantic activities from walking through Central Park to dining in restaurants with spectacular views over the city - and you might even get a flurry of snow!
Take the trip of a lifetime this February
For those feeling adventurous, many of the most exciting far-flung cruise destinations are perfect for visiting in February. Hong Kong, with its futuristic skyscrapers and lush mountains, is best visited in winter, with fairly comfortable temperatures. 900km off the coast of Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands are a haven for wildlife. See the native Galápagos tortoise, the blue-footed booby and land iguanas to name a few species unique to the islands. If you’re not fussed about catching some winter sunshine and instead want to explore somewhere unique, February is a great time to head on an Antarctica cruise. The dramatic, icy region is only accessible to cruise ships for a short period of time.
No-Fly Cruises in February
No-fly cruises in February offer a fantastic way to escape the cold winter months, with departures from ports like Southampton. These cruises often head to warmer destinations such as the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Mediterranean and even some to the Caribbean, providing a sunny retreat from the chilly UK weather. Popular ports of call include Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Lisbon, where travellers can enjoy milder temperatures and scenic landscapes. February cruises in these ports are also less crowded, making for a more relaxed and peaceful experience. It's the perfect time to enjoy a winter break at sea without the hassle of flying.
