Why book an October cruise?

If you’re already tired of the cooler October weather in the UK, why not escape to sunnier climes? The Canary Islands are still basking in temperatures of around 25 degrees during October, meaning you can enjoy beach days and revel in the summer atmosphere. If you have the time, Mexico is also beautiful in October. Visit the undeveloped island of Cozumel for a taste of paradise. Brazil is also still in its dry season during October, so you could be living it up in Rio de Janeiro instead of dealing with broken umbrellas in the UK.

October is the perfect time for a cruise to the Middle East 

Have you always dreamed of exploring the ancient site of Petra in Jordan? Or seeing the futuristic skyscrapers of Dubai? October is a great time to cruise to the Middle East. While temperatures can still reach the 30s during October, this is a unique opportunity to not only enjoy some autumn sunshine but also embark on the journey of a lifetime.

Explore new cities during an October cruise


With temperatures cooling off in Europe and the Mediterranean, October is actually the perfect time to go on a city break. If you’ve always dreamed of seeing the historical sites of Rome or exploring the ancient city of Lisbon, visiting out of season in October means you won’t be exhausted from the heat and you won’t have to queue for the top attractions. Choose from a range of award-winning cruise lines including P&O Cruises and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.

Set sail to stunning autumn destinations this October

October is also the perfect time to explore the majestic beauty of Northern Europe on a no-fly cruise. Depart from Southampton and head to the Norwegian fjords, where you can witness the vibrant fall colours reflecting off the serene waters and experience the crisp, fresh air. Alternatively, explore the Baltic capitals like Copenhagen and Stockholm, where the cooler weather adds a cosy charm to their historic streets. You'll have a more relaxed and intimate experience in these cities with fewer tourists. Cruise lines like Cunard and P&O Cruises make it easy to embark on this autumn adventure, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural exploration without the hassle of flying.
