Europe

Spring is the perfect time to visit Europe. You’ ll enjoy comfortable weather and plenty of sun before the temperatures— and the crowds— reach their peak. Whether you opt for a river cruise along the Danube, Rhine or Seine river or an ocean voyage in the Mediterranean, spring in Europe promises ideal conditions for bike tours, alfresco dining, leisurely city strolls and all the other much-anticipated outdoor excursions you’ d miss out on traveling in the winter.

Alaska

If you’ re cruising with the intention of seeing wildlife, there’ s no better voyage than an Alaska cruise in late summer. This is when the humpback whales return from their calving bays in Hawaii and Mexico, moose calves can be spotted stumbling alongside their mothers, and bears congregate around streams where salmon are spawning. Even on the season’ s hottest days, it’ s rare to see temperatures exceed 80 degrees— perfect for excursions in and around the waters that support so much of Alaska’ s diverse wildlife.

New England & Canada

Witness the explosion of red, orange and yellow foliage that marks the final days of fall in New England. In this part of the country, the changing leaves aren’ t the only thing signaling the passing of time. From age-worn cobblestone streets and colonial architecture to quaint marine towns with their photogenic lighthouses and seafront crab shacks, the coastlines of New England and Canada are dotted with historic gems.

The Caribbean

In the darkest, coldest months of the year, nothing soothes your frostbite like a sun-soaked cruise to the Caribbean. Whether you’ re looking for a quick getaway or a weeklong escape, you’ ll find a range of itineraries for any type of group. Choose from family-friendly and adultsonly itineraries catering to a range of interests, from active adventures packed with watersports and wildlife to low-key excursions replete with rum tours and relaxation. ■
