Cruises in June

June provides a reliable window for enjoying a cruise holiday. The climate is mild and pleasant, providing warm weather suitable for travel without the heatwaves of July and August. Additionally, while June is a popular travel period, its travel volume is generally lower than peak summer, making sightseeing more comfortable. Therefore, if you're thinking about a summer holiday and want to skip the big tourist crowds for a more peaceful break, June might be the right month for you.

June's warm, yet not overly hot, climate makes it a suitable month to explore the Mediterranean's diverse destinations. From Italy to France, Spain to Portugal, from Croatia to Turkey sailing through the marvellous Greek islands, with MSC Cruises itineraries, you can reach dream destinations for your June holiday.
If you’re looking for an itinerary that strikes a balance between culture and fun, our Western Mediterranean cruises offer a compelling choice.

From Dubrovnik to Corfu, from Santorini to Katakolon, an MSC cruise lets you soak up the sun and sea breeze along some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastlines.
June is also a perfect time to discover the charm of Northern Europe.

Over in the Western Mediterranean, think the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, the South of France, and Southern Spain, you'll also find warm, sunny days. Humidity can be a bit variable in some coastal spots, moderate along the French Riviera, but a touch higher in Italian cities like Naples and Rome.
