August Cruises

Why Cruise in August?

August is a great month to go on a cruise holiday – winter is almost over, so it is time to stop hibernating and start getting out there.

For many places in the world, August is one of the last months before the end of cruising season.

Check out the list we made for you below, make an informed decision and enjoy a cruise holiday of a lifetime!

Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea countries are well-known for their charm and are the new hotspot for cruises. Some of them are awkward to get to by yourself, so a cruise holiday is the perfect opportunity to get these ticked off your bucket list:

• Denmark
• Sweden
• Estonia
• Finland
• Poland
• Germany

The cruising season is short here due to the local climate being quite harsh, so August is absolutely perfect with its warm and sunny weather.

Alaska

Alaska is another bucket list destination. The region’s stunning nature attracts cruisers all-year round, however August is your last chance to comfortably enjoy the outside and sit on the Sun Deck watching the glaciers without a warm jacket on.

Most cruises will depart from:

• Vancouver
• Seattle

However, if you are up for a longer holiday (50+ nights), go with a cruise departing from Sydney and sail via Japan.

South Pacific

Do you prefer to stay closer to home? The South Pacific islands are your best bet in August:

• Warm and dry weather
• Visibility underwater is at its highest
• Cruises departing from a home port near you: Sydney, Brisbane, etc.

East Coast of Canada & the USA

North America’s East Coast is versatile and really has something for everyone:

• Elegant colonial architecture
• Fascinating historic sights
• Gourmet food and wine
• Beautiful nature

August is a good month to visit this part of the world because the weather allows for comfortable exploration. The temperatures go down drastically starting in September.
