April Cruises

Spring is beloved for its associations with growth and natural beauty, so what better way to kick off the season than with a cruise in April? With brighter days and the Easter break on the horizon, there's no better time to set sail on a Mediterranean adventure before the summer rush or enjoy the warming weather across Northern Europe.

Whether you're dreaming of taking the whole family on a Caribbean getaway during the school break or sailing along the Norwegian Fjords after a cold winter, April cruises offer plenty of variety to choose from. Explore itineraries from leading cruise lines and enjoy a springtime holiday filled with new places, memorable experiences and all the comforts of life at sea.

FAQs

Yes, a variety of cruises depart from the UK in April. These itineraries primarily sail to the Norwegian Fjords, Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, and are available from top cruise lines like P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Cunard.

April is a great month for cruising, as so many ports are at their most beautiful this time of year. The Netherlands sees millions of beautiful tulips bloom during spring, and Japan's equally wonderful cherry blossoms are also at their peak in April. Warmer destinations like Morocco and Greece enjoy cooler temperatures during April, making exploration more comfortable and family-friendly.

April cruises offer the year's best balance of great weather and smaller crowds. As part of the spring shoulder season, April often isn't as busy as peak summer months, while still offering bright, warm days perfect for city exploration and exciting excursions. These cruises are also often cheaper than those in peak summer months.
