With its mild and pleasant climate and longer days, spring is a great season for a holiday centred around relaxation and the discovery of wonderful destinations. The beauty of spring colours, when nature returns to its peak lushness, allows you to visit enchanting sights with feelings and moods that you would not experience during other times of the year.
The spring months, although perfect for traveling, do not have the same crowds of tourists that swarm cities in the summer months. Therefore, during this period, you can travel with peace of mind, avoiding long lines or crowds for a truly relaxing vacation.
What to pack in your suitcase for your spring cruise depends on the destination you wish to visit. For your cruise to the Norwegian fjords and the Baltic countries, you should consider the variable weather of these destinations, which alternate between slightly colder days and milder days. Therefore, we suggest dressing in layers by bringing basic clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, jeans or breathable long pants, and comfortable shoes for your excursions. On top of this, we recommend wearing heavier sweaters or sweatshirts, and don’t forget a jacket and a raincoat in case of rain.
We also suggest dressing in layers for your Mediterranean cruises, where, due to milder temperatures, we recommend packing lighter clothing, but also sweatshirts and jackets in case of cooler evenings.
For your spring cruises to warm destinations like the Caribbean, Canary Islands, South America and the United Arab Emirates, we suggest lighter clothing such as shorts or lightweight pants, shirts, and t-shirts, and a few light sweaters for the evenings. For the beach, don't forget a swimsuit, a cover-up for moving from the ship to the beach, and beach sandals, as well as sunglasses and sunscreen to enjoy the sun safely!
The climate and temperatures in the Caribbean during the spring months are particularly pleasant and highly recommended for a cruise to this fantastic destination. Spring temperatures increase from March to May. In March, they range from around 25 to 28 °C, in April from 27 to 30 °C, while May is the month with the highest temperatures of the season, with an average of 27-30 °C. Throughout the entire spring, the chances of rain are very low, therefore the Caribbean climate in this season is truly perfect for a fantastic cruise of sea and sun.
Considering the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean in the spring months, the clothing we suggest you pack should be suitable for a seaside holiday. Therefore, swimsuits are essential for your days on the beach, along with sunscreen, sunglasses, and flip-flops. Beyond your time on the beach, we recommend light summer clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, short-sleeved shirts, and light pants. Comfortable sneakers are suggested for your excursions to discover the most beautiful tropical islands. In case of slightly cooler evenings, we also recommend bringing a sweatshirt or a light jacket.
