Caribbean cruises - The Basics
When is the Cruise Season? The primary Caribbean & Mexico cruise season spans from November to April, dodging the hurricane season. While many Caribbean destinations and Mexico are suitable year-round, it's always best to check local conditions. Bermuda cruise season runs during the spring and summer months, generally April - October.
What's the Weather Like? In the Caribbean & Mexico, expect tropical warmth all year long, peppered with occasional rain showers. During the Bermuda cruise season, the weather is summer, like, with cooler temps in April and October. No matter your cruise destination, sun protection is essential, and light rain gear can come in handy.
How to Plan Your Cruise? Focus on itineraries offering a mix of cultural excursions and beach days - especially easy now that most major cruise lines have one (or more) of their own amazing private islands. Those seeking underwater beauty might prefer snorkeling excursions in places like Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Enhance your trip with local culinary tastings and dance lessons.
