October Cruises

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.

But the benefits don’t end there. Holidaymakers can enjoy the cruise of their dreams that little bit more knowing that they can get the weather and atmosphere they want with huge savings attached. That’s right – the quieter season comes with some of the lowest price tags of the entire year!

Take advantage of the idyllic timing for an adults-only cruise and soak up the tranquillity onboard the world’s best luxury liners. Or, why not search for a fun mini-break over the Halloween half-term to keep the whole family entertained? Whether you choose an end-of-season sailing in the Mediterranean or a repositioning cruise sailing across waters less travelled between Europe and the Caribbean, join us onboard this October for a magical cruise holiday.

Best cruise company

I love Cruise Nation. My number one go to for my cruises. Emails are easy to navigate. Getting through to a real person is a bonus. They are all polite, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. 10 out of 10.

Booking and Closing Time!

Your service is very good and also your notifications on line. I tried to contact you just before 8pm to book a cruise but you closed at 8pm and because your announcement kept telling me to hold on, I did so for two hours! In...
