Why cruise in January?

There's no better way to start a new year than by heading on a cruise. Put the stresses of Christmas behind you and treat yourself to some relaxation time with a wonderfully relaxing January cruise. It's the perfect antidote to the January blues, so take a look at our cruise deals for January today!

Explore the Caribbean in January

One of the most popular reasons for taking a cruise in January is to get away from the bad weather and enjoy some sun. January can be a drab and grey month in the UK, so taking a cruise to somewhere warm and sunny where you can sunbathe and unwind is a fantastic way to start the year. To this end, a Caribbean cruise is one of your best bets to get away from the cold.

The Caribbean enjoys sunshine throughout the year, so even in the winter months, you can happily top up your tan on the fabulous beaches of the region. Rather than getting cold and wet in the UK, you can look forward to sunning yourself in idyllic tropical surroundings as you explore locations including Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados and many more.

January sun destinations

A Panama Canal cruise and the Bahamas cruise also make for the perfect January trip away. You can see the best that Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama have to offer with a cruise from the USA, or relax on the islands of the Bahamas – the choice is yours. January is also the peak time to visit Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia and you’ll find these beguiling regions at their most spectacular.

Winter cruises in January

If you don't mind the cold and want to see some of the most naturally beautiful destinations in the world, then head to Norway for a winter cruise along the coast. Not only will you see breathtaking sights of the famous Norwegian Fjords, but you may also be lucky enough to observe the northern lights, one of the Earth's most awe-inspiring sights.

How To Get Cheap Cruise Deals And Offers

Posted: July 3, 2023 | Last updated: July 3, 2023

Cruising is expensive, so researching before booking your cruise can save you money. There are many ways to get cheap cruise deals and save money ...

Booking early for a cruise can lead to the best deals for various reasons. Firstly, cruise lines offer early bird discounts and promotions such as onboard credit to entice early bookings. Secondly, there is wider availability of lower-priced fare categories when itineraries are initially released. Booking your cruise early allows you to take advantage of price protection guarantees, where you can request a price adjustment if the fare decreases before your cruise. You can select preferred cabin locations better as availability decreases closer to the sailing date. 

<p><span>Early booking allows you to secure lower rates for flights and hotels associated with the cruise. Lastly, booking in advance gives you more time for planning and flexibility in choosing suitable cruise dates. While last-minute deals may be available, they are generally more limited and offer less choice and flexibility.</span></p>

Cruise Off-Season.

Cruising off-season offers several benefits, including lower prices, less crowding, enhanced service, a more comprehensive selection of cabins, unique itineraries, and potentially milder weather and scenic beauty. 

These advantages make off-season cruising an attractive option for budget-conscious travellers seeking a more relaxed and personalized experience. However, it’s essential to consider potential drawbacks such as limited availability and reduced entertainment options during non-peak times.

<p><span>Cruises during school holidays and significant events tend to be more expensive too. Cruises airlines also bump up the airfare at Half Term or Spring Break, so avoid these times if possible. Plan your cruise during non-peak times, such as in February, March or January, to take advantage of lower prices. Likewise, Hurricane season in September can be a cheaper time to book as long as it’s not near Thanksgiving.</span></p>

<p><span>"Save money on groceries" advice isn't one-size-fits-all. For example, not everyone lives near a warehouse store like Costco (and some people can't afford the annual fee anyway). Apartment dwellers can't grow gardens, and folks without vehicles can't visit you-pick farms. And so on.</span></p> <p><span>Fortunately, plenty of other ways exist to keep food prices as low as possible. Use some (or all!) of the following hacks to eat well without breaking the budget.</span></p>

Look for Last-Minute Cruise Deals

Booking a last-minute deal can be a great way to save money on your cruise vacation. Cruise lines often give out last-minute deals to fill some not-so-popular cruises. This is a good option if you are not fussy about your departure port or where you are sailing.

Finding last-minute cruise deals requires some proactive searching and flexibility. Start by checking cruise line websites for dedicated sections or deals. Sign up for newsletters and email alerts from cruise lines and travel agencies to stay informed. Check media platforms and travel deal apps to receive notifications about time-limited promotions. 

<p><span>Reach out to travel agents specializing in cruises, as they may have access to exclusive last-minute offers. Being flexible with travel dates and destinations can increase your chances of finding a deal. Keep an eye on online travel websites that feature last-minute cruise deals. Consider repositioning cruises for unique itineraries and lower prices. Book quickly and ensure your travel documents are in order when the time is right. While last-minute deals offer significant savings, be aware of limited availability and potential additional expenses.</span></p> <p><span>For year-round deals, check some popular cruise websites, such as Norwegian cruise line or Princess Cruises, or ask your local travel agent.</span></p>

Choose an Older Ship.

Older cruise ships are often cheaper due to lower operating costs, fewer amenities and facilities, less demand, market perception, and itinerary restrictions. The reduced size of these ships leads to lower expenses, which can be passed on to passengers through lower fares.

Consider Repositioning Cruises

Repositioning cruises occur when ships are moving between different regions or seasonal routes. These cruises can offer significant savings and cruise deals compared to traditional itineraries, as they may have more days at sea and fewer port stops. These are released a season or two early, so look out for them.

The cheapest one is option 2

As to St. Petersburg: there are so many companies/operators offering canal cruises . You will easy find the one that suits your personal interests

cheap cruise january

in St.Petersburg you will see lots of departure points along all the canals and Neva-river. Just buy a ticket on the spot and off you go. However, only few companies offer boat-trips in English. One of them is http://anglotourismo.com , there is another one for sure on Moika river... Prices (at least as of last year) were pretty much the same regardless of what route you take with what company. The routes vary and some are more interesting, some are less - they usually have a large map showing where they go. A trip lasts about 1 hour, cost around 600 rubles per person (last year numbers)

Thank you, this information is very helpful!

COST of day trip to Moscow ??

By densol , February 26, 2012 in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea

Cool Cruiser

We have just booked a cruise to the Baltics for next year. I am trying to find out the average cost for a day trip to Moscow from STP. I have searched several times, and whilst I have read reviews and reports about the trips etc - I cannot actually see any examples of the costs. I imagine its quite expensive - but we want to do it so I need to budget LOL !!

Any ballpark figures ? :D

We did the Moscow trip through our cruise ship in late July 2008. Its cost was a little under $1000 pp. Now, that cost through this cruise line is a little over that $1000 pp cost. Now, most are using the high-speed rail connection versus the air flights as we did. I have seen some other numbers from other cruise lines and/or private firms that run $700-850.

Why cheaper or the differences? As cruise lines are pressured to keep their "sticker price" low, they need to make up some "margin" with ship tours, beverages, spa stuff, etc., to help cover their costs and gain some profit. Second, different tours provide various features. Our tour included going inside the famed and spectacular Kremlin Palace. Most Moscow tours don't feature that option and you cannot just walk up there and get in on your own. That Palace is where the Czars were crowned and all of the current/recent Russian leaders assumed their powers.

We could have saved a little if we had used a private tour to go to and visit Moscow, but, with my wife's pushing, we felt it was worth it to pay a little more, do it through the cruise line. If there had been any problems or mix-ups, it was the ship's duty to "make it right" and we would not have to worry.

If you have three days in St. Petersburg and/or have been there before, then the Moscow tour can work out very well. It's not cheap, but in my view, worth it!! Both are a few of my visuals from this super great city with such interesting history and dramatic architecture.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

One of the Kremlin Wall Towers in Moscow:

Walking on the famed Red Square of Moscow:

St. Basil's sits on Red Square and dates back to its 1555-61 construction on the orders of Ivan the Terrible (Ivan IV). It commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan and marks the geometric center of the city. This location has been the hub of its growth for Moscow since the 14th century. It was the tallest building in Moscow until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. This church was near destroyed in the 1930’s when Stalin was in control.:

Here is a small sampling of the Kremlin Royal Treasures of the Czars: Eggs & Jewels insicde the famed Armory.:

Moscow’s subways are called the “People’s Palaces” with their marble coverings and unique designs for each of the different and many stations.:

This is the interior for Moscow's most historic church, Assumption Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Dormition, inside the Kremlin walls. It is the mother church of Muscovite Russia. The church stands on Cathedral Square and was built in 1475–1479 by the Italian architect Aristotele Fioravanti. It was erected on the spot of an older 14th century cathedral of the same name:

We did the day trip to Moscow with Alla-tour and were very pleased with our tour. Our guide whose English was great was a wealth of information and the day went very smoothly. I checked the web site and Alla's prices for 2012 range from $884 a person for two down to $542 a person for 6 with the 5% cruisecritic discount. So if you can get a group together the per person price goes down considerably. You can try to do this on the roll call section of cruisecritic.

We did not go to the Palace and as Terry says this is not included generally in tours. However, we did go to the Diamond Fund, an amazing display of crown jewels and jewelry in the Armoury building but not really part of the Armoury. I would think you could include this if you had a small group and really wanted to see it. It is quite small and does not accommodate a large group. You can google "diamond fund kremlin" to learn more.
