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.
