Where can you cruise in April?

In April, the northern hemisphere is in bloom; across the Netherlands bright tulips blossom in one of the largest natural gardens in the world. It’s even t-shirt weather in some <a href="https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-destinations/mediterranean">Mediterranean</a> shores! What’s more – in many of your favourite destinations, April tends to benefit from reduced crowds, giving you more room to roam. Plus, as a result of fewer travellers about, prices on shore are likely to be lower than in other months, too.
