Caribbean Cruises FAQs

  • What is the weather like in the Caribbean from December to April?

    The UK’s cooler months make for a great time to visit. It’s generally the region’s driest period, and the temperatures – which hover around 25-30°C – are never too hot or too cold. Humidity tends to be low. Just remember, this amazing weather means that people will be flocking to the region, and prices reflect this.

  • What is the weather like in the Caribbean from May to November?

    It may seem like the summer months are the best time to cruise the Caribbean, but this is when the rainy season kicks in. Luckily, rainfall tends to be short, heavy downpours as opposed to constant showers – so you’ll still get plenty of sunshine. Plus, the islands tend to be quieter, and prices are often at their cheapest at this time of the year too.

  • When is the best time to cruise the Caribbean?

    December to April is known as the dry season in the Caribbean, so for the best weather, go during this time. However, that doesn’t mean that the weather isn’t still great during other times of year; there could be higher chance of some rain, but it may also be cheaper.
