On a cruise to Europe, this could be your reality. Europe is home to limitless culture and some of the most stunning ports of call in the world, and cruising Europe is one of the most efficient and economical ways to experience the continent\u2019s beauty \u2013 made all the better If you\u2019re able to snag a good deal! Most people will tell you that you\u2019ll find the lowest prices during the shoulder seasons, and they would be right. Though the summer months of June through August are popular times to cruise, the high volume of travelers sends prices soaring. Coupled with higher temperatures and larger crowds, this season is one to avoid if you&#8217;re looking for a bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Europe <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Look instead at the prices from April to June and September to October and beyond, and you\u2019ll find a huge difference. These off-season periods see smaller crowds, milder weather, and fairer prices, which make any cruise vacation more enjoyable. Whether you\u2019re looking to sail the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Baltics, or one of Europe\u2019s many waterways, here are the cheapest times to cruise Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The cheapest time for Mediterranean cruises<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cruising the Mediterranean is one of the best ways to see the area. You\u2019re sure to catch a lot of historic sites as well as gorgeous scenery while you sail, as there\u2019s much to see in this culturally rich region. Mediterranean cruise itineraries can often be jam-packed with activities, with ships calling at lots of scenic ports that double as quintessential European destinations like Rome, Barcelona, Venice, Dubrovnik, and the <a href=\"\/d\/greece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Greek (opens in a new tab)\">Greek<\/a> isles. You\u2019ll also discover lesser-known highlights like Palma de Mallorca, Kotor, and Gibraltar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MedCruise.jpg\" alt=\"A woman leaning over a railing on a cruise boat in Cyprus\" class=\"wp-image-24077 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MedCruise.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MedCruise-434x289.jpg 434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Mediterranean cruises are a great way to keep summer going all year! | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ZbWSt_Hz0-I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Ben o'Bro\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Ben o&#8217;Bro\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cruises run year-round in the Mediterranean, so anytime can be the perfect time for a Mediterranean cruise, but prices will be highest during the peak months of July and August. A better option is to go during the shoulder seasons, late spring from March to June and early fall from September to October. But, since Mediterranean cruises run year-round, a trip during the winter months can lead to unexpected magic at a fraction of the price. Cruises tend to call at more southern ports during winter months, when the weather remains fair, though not as hot as it would be in the summer. That means if you were hoping to see the unique beauty of the Canary Islands or the colourful contrasts of Morocco, set sail in January or February for a winter getaway. The fall months of September and October are a great time to cruise if you want to experience wine and food festivals around Tuscany, as these months are when the area\u2019s wine crop is at its peak and ready for harvest. If Tuscany is calling your name, make sure to plan for a stay before or after your cruise from Rome, as you can&#8217;t cruise directly to Tuscany.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/packing-list-for-12-day-mediterranean-cruise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your Perfect Packing List for a 12-Day Mediterranean Cruise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The cheapest time for Northern Europe and Baltic cruises&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Europe is home to vibrant towns and stunning natural wonders, and cruising the area is a wonderful way to get a taste of all the area has to offer.

With European rivers being the cheapest in the world to cruise, the Rhine and Danube are the cheapest to cruise in Europe.
