Transatlantic Cruise Packages

• Summer – Warmer Months – High Season

  The summer months change with where you're going but going during this season means a lot more tourists. It also means hotter weather, more beaches open, and lots of sunscreens.

• Spring – Warm – Good Season

  The spring season in any of the options is a good season to go. The weather is still quite warm, so you can still visit beaches but there are fewer people. This means you can do more without having to push through the crowds. It might just be a bit rainier on certain days. 

• Fall – Warm – Good Season

  The fall is also like the spring, and it can be rainier in these months. However, the weather is mild, and the tourists are not as packed into the area. This is definitely something to think about if you want to visit without the crowds.
