COLD DESTINATIONS TO ENJOY ON A CRUISE

by Royal Holiday January 29, 2025

written by Royal Holiday

If you haven’t been on a cruise yet, what are you waiting for? Vacations on a cruise will give you incomparable experiences! Oh, but not all cruises are during the summer or to the Caribbean… The good news is that you can also go on a cruise to cold destinations during the winter or fall, and they’re equally as fascinating.

We want to remind you that with your Membership you have the opportunity to access the Royal at Sea program, with many itineraries at your reach and embarking with the most important cruise lines in the world.

WINTER CRUISES, WHY NOT?

Winter is not only a time for chimneys and warm beverages; it is also an opportunity to live a unique cruise experience. Learn more about Norwegian Cruises here.

Navigating during this season has a particular charm, whether you’re exploring snowy landscapes or escaping to cold temperatures full of magic. And we are going to give you various reasons to choose cruises to cold destinations.

Firstly, cold weather destinations have an incomparable atmosphere during this season: picturesque markets, snowy landscapes, northern lights, and cities decorated with festive lights.

Additionally, low seasons in some itineraries mean fewer crows and more accessible prices. You only have to consult the itinerary guide of the Royal at Sea program to have an idea.

Another advantage is the comfort of modern cruises, which offer onboard entertainment, gourmet dinners, and activities for all ages, even if the outside temperatures are low.

Many ships also have heated areas, spas, and covered pools, which guarantees a warm and cozy experience.

SOME “FROZEN” BUT INCREDIBLE DESTINATIONS

The Norwegian fjords and the destinations in Scandinavia are a dream destination during the winter.

Imagine navigating between snow-covered mountains, visiting small fishing towns, and experiencing activities like northern lights safaris.

Although it is more known as a summertime cruise destination, Alaska also offers unique experiences during the winter.

This is the perfect moment to enjoy wildlife sightings like reindeer and polar bears, as well as practicing winter sports in ports of call.

Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line offer itineraries that will take you to explore glaciers and arctic landscapes with luxury onboard. These cruises to cold destinations will be very enjoyable.

Another incredible option is to set sail and explore the Baltic cities and Russia during winter. We guarantee a magical experience aboard Costa Cruises or MSC Cruises.

For example, visiting Saint Petersburg will allow you to see palaces covered in snow, and Tallinn with its winter markets is a destination you can’t miss.

ROYAL AT SEA, A SEA OF EXPERIENCES

cruise Cold Destinations

So, if you’re considering a cruise to cold destinations, here are some tips:

Book in advance. Although the winter is low season for some destinations, popular itineraries like the Northern Lights can fill up pretty fast.

Make sure you pack warm clothes, especially for excursions in cold ports.

Many cruise lines offer unique activities in each destination, such as activities like dog sledding rides or visits to traditional saunas that await you. Enjoy them with Royal At Sea.

Take the time to indulge in spas, themed restaurants, and live entertainment, making every cruise an unforgettable experience.

Cruise ship trends 2020: more passengers and additional routes

by Royal Holiday January 19, 2020

written by Royal Holiday

Cruise ships trends for 2020 are focused on having more passengers living the fascinating experience of this way of traveling.

According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which brings together the most important shipping companies in the world, 32 million people will take a cruise next year.

Almost half of them will come from North America (14.24 million), followed by travelers from Western Europe (6.73 million); Asia (4.24 million); and Australia-Pacific region (1.46 million).

For that reason, shipping companies are proposing diverse and fascinating routes to provide tourists with a greater variety of options.

There is already an option called “micro-cruising”, which are trips of three to five days whose target audience is tourists who have little time available, but are willing to embark on this adventure.

The Association foresees that in 2020, the interest of travelers will grow in respecting local culture and diversifying excursions, so routes with longer stopovers are already being considered to visit the destinations extensively.

An increase in the number of single travelers is also forecasted, so some companies have already removed the surcharges for traveling without unaccompanied in a double occupancy cabin, as well as the inclusion of studio-type cabins, and other amenities for this type of tourist.

Cruise Ships Trends 2020: Greener Ships

If you are a traveler who is also concerned about the environment, CLIA points out that the sector will invest over USD$20 billion to promote clean technologies and reduce emissions by 40%.

They plan to accomplish that by using more environmentally friendly fuels such as natural gas, and with hybrid exhaust gas cleaning technology, which reduce polluting particles by half.

As a Royal Holiday member, you can enjoy the benefits of “Royal at Sea”, where you can book using your vacation points, cabins on fabulous cruise ships routes.

What about a 4-night trip through the Caribbean? You can do it aboard the Carnival Conquest. Departure is from Miami, Florida, on March 23, 2020.

Otherwise, if you want to experience postcard snowy landscapes, we recommend the 7-night Alaska route on board the Koningsdam ship from Holland Cruises. Departure is from Vancouver on May 2, 2020. https://www.royal-holiday.com/es/cruceros/1269-alaska-7-noches
