Is hot weather cruising really all sun-soaked bliss, or are there hidden perks to braving the chilly seas? Join us as we unpack the contrasting experiences of hot versus cold weather cruising, sharing personal anecdotes from our adventures with Virgin, MSC, and Celebrity. From the convenience of lighter packing to the festive atmosphere of outdoor sail-away parties, we'll highlight the joys of warm-weather voyages while acknowledging that not every cruiser dreams of endless sunshine. Whether it's exploring vibrant ports or dancing the night away at theme parties, warm climates offer unique charms that can make for an unforgettable cruise experience.

On the flip side, imagine gliding through the majestic fjords or witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights on a cold weather cruise. We'll take you through the serene and scenic landscapes of destinations like Alaska, delving into the relaxed ambiance and exclusive excursions such as glacier walks and husky sledding. Fewer late-night activities and a more casual dress code can be a refreshing change for those seeking a laid-back adventure. And yes, we'll even throw in our amusing story of getting sunburned on an unexpectedly sunny cold weather cruise—proof that sunscreen is a must, no matter the temperature!

Finally, we'll tackle the challenges and considerations of both hot and cold weather cruises. Tips for navigating crowded pool decks, insights into the trade-offs of balcony cabins in cooler climates, and even a hilarious "Cruise Confession" from Jamie involving a naked balcony mishap in San Francisco. Plus, catch up on the latest cruise industry news, including Norwegian Cruise Line's new Prince tribute show and Virgin Voyages' wedding offerings. Whether you're a sun-seeker or an Arctic adventurer, this episode promises a comprehensive look at how weather shapes your cruising experience.


As usual the cruise cast includes our favourite cruise tips, takes on the cruise news stories and tales from our times on cruises.
