Where is the best place to travel by cruise in winter?

Many people are familiar with cruise ships. Nowadays, cruise ships can sail to many places, including Japan, South Korea, Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. So which countries are suitable for cruises in winter? Here are some detailed recommendations for you.

As a seafarer working on an international luxury cruise ship, I can express my thoughts on this issue. It's winter now and it's snowing in many places in China.

When it comes to traveling on a luxury cruise ship in winter, do many friends think it is too cold? While taking the cruise, they could only enjoy the cold wind and look at the snow.

Actually not really. There are many good options for taking a luxury cruise in winter to make winter no longer cold. Next, I will introduce the main destinations for winter cruise travel in two ways: direct domestic travel and indirect travel abroad.

1. Around Japan

The first is to leave China directly. Currently, several national cruise companies that use Chinatown as their home port in winter have similar travel routes. Mainly go to Kyushu Island and surrounding islands in Japan, generally speaking, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Sasebo, and Okinawa in the southernmost part of Japan.

Of course, there are reasons why cruise companies choose to go to these places in Japan instead of familiar cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Oita. The main reason is to consider climate issues. The climate of the region chosen for the cruise line is still subtropical, and the temperature will be higher than other regions.

2. Around Southeast Asia

In addition to the above-mentioned mainstream Japanese routes, a few cruise companies can depart from China to Southeast Asia. For example, Costa Cruises and Dream Cruises have launched routes to the Philippines and Vietnam, mainly to Manila, Subic Bay, and Boracay Island in the Philippines, and Da Nang and Nha Trang in Vietnam.

These tourist destinations are also very good, because they are mainly tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. To feel the summer temperature, you have to take off your heavy cotton jacket and wear summer clothes with a T-shirt and shorts. Isn’t it very different to lie on the beach in the Philippines and drink Nha Trang’s local coconut water in winter?

Secondly, you can consider boarding a cruise ship from abroad. In fact, there will be more choices. In winter, many cruise companies will change their home port to the south of the world because the temperature in the south is high, even in summer.

Embarking from abroad means you may need to fly to a country or region where boarding is now available, and then travel from there.

Although this method will be more troublesome, it will make the options for this winter tour more abundant and flexible.

From 2010 to 2019, mainstream cruise companies will provide routes to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, mainly Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and even Australia, New Zealand and other countries.

Finally, I want to tell you that the cruise itself is actually a very good tourist destination. In other words, the cruise itself has a lot to offer, whether it’s winter or summer.

To put it simply, no matter which destination you go to in winter, you will not feel the chill on the cruise ship because the entire cruise ship will maintain a certain moderate temperature. More importantly, the various services on the cruise will make friends feel the infinite enthusiasm and fun brought by the cruise culture.

Have you ever discovered that taking a cruise in winter is actually a good choice? Choose your route in advance and enjoy the perfect winter luxury cruise.
