June Cruise Deals

In the summer month of June, you can travel with us to the Baltic, the Mediterranean, Norway and Iceland, the Norwegian Fjords and Western Europe.

For a traditionally hot summer cruise, June might just be the ideal month to book your holiday. Although if you melt under too-hot weather, in many regions during this time summer is setting in but not yet in full swing, making June potentially a great option. 

The Med’s just about in full summer swing in June, so you’ll want your luggage to be based around keeping cool and protected under the sun. We’d recommend packing:

• Swimming costume/swim shorts
• Sunscreen with high SPF rating
• Sunglasses
• Casual shirt and trousers/skirt or dress (for some evenings on board)
• Cover-up or similar, e.g., canvas trousers and loose-fitting tops (dark or bright colours are better at absorbing UV rays)
• A hat for sun protection
• Shorts
• A light jumper
• T-shirts
• Flip-flops or sandals
• A good book
• Walking shoes
• Your dinner jacket, cocktail dress or ballgown (for our Black Tie evening)
