Why book an August cruise?

Are you looking to embrace the last of the sunshine in Europe? We have a range of cruises available in August, from river cruises on the Rhine, Rhône and Seine to cruises sailing around the British Isles and August cruises to the Baltics. We’re not often blessed with fine weather in our corner of Europe, so if you want to make the most of the summer closer to home, our European cruises across August hold the key. Simply hop on board your cruise ship and sail to new horizons. 

August is one of the best times to visit Scandinavia

As the popular season to visit Northern Europe and Scandinavia draws to a close in August, this is the best time to book a cruise. You can escape the crowds by embarking on a Scandinavian cruise at the end of August to locations such as the Norwegian Fjords and the Baltics, and still take advantage of those long summer days caused by the Midnight Sun in some areas. 

Cruise to tropical destinations in August before the rainy season

If you were planning on leaving your dream cruise holiday to Hawaii until the winter - don’t delay! The weather is at its best in Hawaii between April and October, so you’ll want to catch the islands at their finest. August is also the last month to enjoy a Caribbean cruise prior to the brief stormy season in September and October. Australia is also entering spring towards the end of August. Our August cruise holidays are available with a range of fantastic cruise lines.
