Shorter days, a chill in the air and bare trees towering over piles of fallen red, brown and golden leaves can only mean one thing – autumn is closing in on us. And whether you’d prefer to witness the beautiful colours of autumn in the northern hemisphere or sail away to tropical sunshine destinations elsewhere, you can find the cruise holiday of your dreams in October.
So why choose to sail at this time of year? For starters, it’s a great time to avoid the busy summer crowds in the most popular destinations like the Med and Caribbean.
