Spring has sprung across the northern hemisphere and the sun is starting to make a more regular appearance as March rolls around. But while the spring season famously brings hit-and-miss weather to the UK, you can take this opportunity to climb on board a cruise and escape to warmer climes in the Southern Hemisphere or consider an exciting transatlantic cruise from the USA to the UK.
A March cruise is the perfect way to take a break ahead of spring. Bag yourself a great bargain at the end of peak season in the Caribbean or discover the magic of the Mediterranean as the season kicks off. You can even travel further afield for adventures in popular destinations like Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
One of the biggest worldwide events of the year also falls in March. We’re of course talking about St Patrick’s Day on March 17! So if you’re used to joining in the St Patrick’s Day celebrations at home, why not see how it’s done elsewhere? The widely celebrated day brings festivities to all corners of the world, including the US, Canada and New Zealand. Pack something green to throw on for the day and immerse yourself in the excitement of the celebrations. St Patrick’s Day is all about great Irish food, drink and dancing wherever you are, all of which you can experience on a fantastic cruise.
Avoid the expensive peak travel dates ahead of the Easter rush and escape the grey skies this March by sailing away to colourful destinations across the globe. At Cruise Nation, we love to offer unforgettable cruises at unbeatable prices you won’t find elsewhere. So whenever you’re ready, let’s get started!

With our excellent selection of cruises sailing directly from Southampton to ports all around the world, there’s no need to wait around for your holiday to get started! Forget long waits in airport departure lounges and packed planes – simply hop on board in Southampton and embark on your perfect cruise holiday. It really is as simple as that!
The timing couldn’t be better in March for a great deal on a cruise holiday! Whether you’re booking a mini cruise break to Iceland or planning a long and luxurious Caribbean Cruise & Stay holiday, March has a great range of deals and itineraries to suit everyone. At Cruise Nation, we can help you decide where is best to travel depending on your preferences.
While average temperatures definitely start climbing steadily throughout March in the Mediterranean, it might not be time to stuff your cases full of shorts, summer dresses and sandals just yet. We suggest packing a few summer outfits and adding in some warmer layers, too. You might even want to bring an umbrella and a raincoat on the off chance that you get caught in a downpour.
Don’t forget your swimwear, though! Whether you’re planning to swim a few lengths in the onboard pool or take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea at a few port calls, we don’t want anything to stop you.
If you’re eager to snap up a bargain while still sailing to sunny destinations, we’d recommend choosing a cruise to the Caribbean. Temperatures are still sizzling through the day, but the cruise season is starting to wind down in March, bringing cheaper deals and quieter ships with it. It’s a similar story in Australia and New Zealand, too. Since these destinations are just coming to the end of summertime, you can enjoy the warm – but not scorching hot – weather. It’s perfect for peaceful strolls along the beautiful beaches and soaking up the culture in the incredible cities in all these destinations.
Of course, there are plenty of great destinations to sail to in March if you’d prefer to avoid the heat. In Iceland, the snow is just starting to melt, and you can enjoy a few extra hours of sunlight to explore wonderful cities like Reykjavik in a new light. Or you could sail to southern areas of Japan to experience the long-anticipated cherry blossom season that starts in March.
Whether you’re in search of the perfect warm-weather cruise or a wonderful wintry break, there are endless possibilities in March to suit everyone!
With low humidity and temperatures hovering around 25-30°C, the weather in the Caribbean couldn’t be better for a visit in March. You’ll also benefit from some of the lowest prices on offer during the dry season, alongside fewer people. The near-deserted beaches, quiet but colourful villages and incredible vistas of the Caribbean await!
