While ships can start to become full much more quickly and popular destinations fill with early summer crowds, June can be one of the last months to get away in the warmest temperatures without hitting the major rush of the summer school holidays. This month is ideal for a livelier couple's cruise or an exciting break away as a larger group to hot destinations in the Mediterranean. Think cruising around the Balearics with their stunning sunsets and bustling nightlife or sailing through the Greek isles and sampling the wonderful cuisine at every stop.
For the quietest cruises in June, it’s best to head down to the Caribbean. The peak season in this region is over by June, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy some sunshine here. Dive in and out of the bars, shops and restaurants in between the heaviest downpours and check the forecast to see when’s best for a dry and sunny day at the beach with a great cocktail.
