Cruises in June

June provides a reliable window for enjoying a cruise holiday. The climate is mild and pleasant, providing warm weather suitable for travel without the heatwaves of July and August. Additionally, while June is a popular travel period, its travel volume is generally lower than peak summer, making sightseeing more comfortable. Therefore, if you're thinking about a summer holiday and want to skip the big tourist crowds for a more peaceful break, June might be the right month for you.

June's warm, yet not overly hot, climate makes it a suitable month to explore the Mediterranean's diverse destinations. From Italy to France, Spain to Portugal, from Croatia to Turkey sailing through the marvellous Greek islands, with MSC Cruises itineraries, you can reach dream destinations for your June holiday.

If you’re looking for an itinerary that strikes a balance between culture and fun, our Western Mediterranean cruises offer a compelling choice. Savor a fantastic paella in Valencia, uncover the beauty of Ibiza, and visit the archaeological splendour of Carthage in Tunisia. While, for a beach-focused holiday, the Eastern Mediterranean is ideal. From Dubrovnik to Corfu, from Santorini to Katakolon, an MSC cruise lets you soak up the sun and sea breeze along some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastlines.

June is also a perfect time to discover the charm of Northern Europe. Be inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Norwegian fjords of Geiranger and Naerøyfjord or by Iceland's captivating volcanic landscapes. With June's agreeable weather, you can comfortably explore the region's major cities, including lively Copenhagen, stylish Stockholm, and medieval Tallinn.

If you're considering a Caribbean cruise in June, you'll find it's less crowded than the winter months. Despite the start of the rainy season, you can expect sunny days and warm weather across the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Mexican coast, with reliably warm weather.

Whether you're looking for a short 3- or 4-night getaway, a classic 7-night route, or an extended 9-, 10-, 11- or 14-night adventure, MSC Cruises has something to match your June holiday plans.

June cruise prices are influenced by the type of experience, accommodation, and destination you would like to visit. MSC Cruises also provides a range of deals and discounts, offering opportunities to travel at the best price.

For Mediterranean cruises, light and comfortable attire, such as t-shirts and short-sleeved tops, is recommended due to the warm climate. For Northern European cruises, layered clothing is advised, including breathable long-sleeved shirts, sweaters or sweatshirts, long trousers, and comfortable footwear, with trekking shoes being particularly suitable for excursions. A jacket is essential for evening wear. For the Caribbean, swimsuits and lightweight summer clothing are indispensable.

June offers a pleasant Caribbean cruise experience. Yes, it's the beginning of the rainy season, but you'll still get plenty of warm, sunny days – the rains are much lighter than later in the summer. And because it's less crowded, you can really relax and enjoy your tropical holiday.

Even with the onset of the rainy season, June offers ample opportunity for a beautiful Caribbean cruise. Sunny days are the norm, with only occasional short rain showers. Plus, you'll enjoy warm temperatures, typically between 24°C and 31°C, in popular spots like the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.

When packing for a Caribbean cruise in June, consider the essentials for a comfortable sea holiday. Swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, and beach footwear are essential. For excursions and general exploration, light and breathable clothing is recommended. Think cotton or linen short-sleeved tops, light pants or shorts, skirts, and comfortable sneakers. A light sweater is advisable for cooler evenings or in case of rain.

Mediterranean cruises in June allow you to enjoy a mild climate and long, sunny days but not excessive humidity. This month is also less crowded than July and August, which allows you to visit the cities with greater tranquillity.

June in the Mediterranean is generally warm and sunny, which is just the ticket for a cruise. You'll find the Adriatic coast countries, like Greece, Croatia, and Italy, particularly appealing for a sea-focused holiday. Take Greece, for example: those beautiful islands, brimming with history and stunning beaches, with a relatively low humidity level and minimal chances of rain, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Over in the Western Mediterranean, think the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, the South of France, and Southern Spain, you'll also find warm, sunny days. Humidity can be a bit variable in some coastal spots, moderate along the French Riviera, but a touch higher in Italian cities like Naples and Rome.

The Mediterranean region in June enjoys a warm and sunny climate, making lightweight and breathable attire advisable for days spent exploring cities such as Rome, Barcelona, Venice, and Istanbul. Short-sleeved wear, including polos, t-shirts, and linen shirts, alongside shorts or lightweight trousers and comfortable walking shoes, are essential items for your Mediterranean cruise. A sweater or sweatshirt is also recommended for cooler evenings.

For cruises focusing on sea destinations, such as Greece, Croatia, and the Balearic Islands, swimwear, light beach cover-ups, beach sandals, and sunscreen are, of course, essential.

A cruise through the Norwegian fjords in June is a worthwhile experience. The mild weather and prolonged daylight hours offer excellent conditions for viewing the region's stunning natural landscapes.

You can expect mild and agreeable temperatures, often ranging from around 10 to 20 °C, though it can feel a touch warmer in the south. The days are wonderfully long and bright, with plenty of sunshine to enjoy the stunning scenery.

While you might encounter some rain showers, they tend to be relatively brief. The air is usually fresh with moderate humidity, making it a rather nice time for exploring the fjords and coastal towns.

Layering is the way to go. Begin with lightweight, breathable items like shirts and tees, and add sweaters or jackets when it's cooler. Comfortable shoes, trekking shoes if you've got them, are ideal for your excursions.
