Best Time To Go

With such natural diversity, from rugged mountain ranges and deserts to sweeping coastlines and sun-drenched beaches, the USA is a great country to visit year-round.

  • East Coast - This includes New York, and New England. Autumn and Summer are the most popular times of the year to visit. The September to October season takes place during Autumn, so passengers can see the changing leaves in New England and grab some delicious apple cider. From June to August Summer hits, and the warm weather leaves the New York skyline sparkling in the sun. NY in colder months is blanketed in snow and welcomes the festive period with markets and parades.

  • Florida - Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Port Canaveral are all located in Florida, with Miami serving as the largest cruise port in the USA. Cruises are all year round and serve as the gateway to the Caribbean. December to April avoids the blustery months, so consider booking June to November for the calmest, warmest weather.

  • West Coast - California boasts some of the most iconic sights across the USA, including San Francisco, and Hollywood. April to October are the best months for coastal cruises, with summer the warmest and driest season.

  • Pacific Northwest - Here you’ll find Seattle, a city of culture, and the starting point for many cruises heading towards Canada and Alaska. May to September has the mildest weather and is also the most popular time of year for Alaska cruises. Daylight hours grow longer the further north you travel, giving ample opportunity for whale watching, and relaxing evenings.

  • Gulf Coast - New Orleans, Galveston, and Tampa sit along this idyllic stretch of water. May to September avoids the hottest and most humid part of the year. From September to February (off season) the weather can be more intense, so excursions, activities and experiences might face changes.

  • Hawaii - Pleasant all year round, the 50th state is a slice of paradise for many. Peak visiting months are from April to June & September to November. Hawaii holds some of the most interesting wildlife and culture, travellers love to attend luaus, and dance hula, as well a spot animals like monk seals, and spinner dolphins.

Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii! This photo was taken during our recent 12-night Hawaii cruise from Vancouver aboard the Celebrity Edge. It was our second cruise with Celebrity and our first time on an Edge-class ship – superb from start to finish. One of the highlights was a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Centre, where we spent an incredible day immersed in culture and learning from ambassadors representing each unique Polynesian island. Even with 5 sea days, there was never a dull moment - we were entertained and well looked after the entire time. We loved every moment of the trip, but exploring Honolulu was the standout, with something for everyone. The sea days were just as memorable, giving us time to relax and fully enjoy everything the beautiful Celebrity Edge has to offer.

Where To Sail From

The USA has the most cruise departure ports of anywhere in the world. With so many options on offer it can be a lot to get your head around. Here are the most common cruise ports that you’ll encounter, and where they sail to:

  • Florida - This is the busiest cruise port in the world, with 11 separate terminals sailing to a range of destinations. Miami and Fort Lauderdale usually head to the Caribbean & Bahamas, though both offer themselves as a fantastic destination for a pre or post-cruise stay. Port Canaveral is also hugely popular for families, with close links to Disney World and Universal Studios, perhaps consider a Caribbean and Florida cruise and stay combo.

  • Gulf Coast - New Orleans and Galveston both serve as the starting point for Caribbean and Mexico cruises, though offer very different experiences. Galveston gives a charming Texas beginning, for lovers of good weather and good food. Meanwhile, New Orleans provides a classic Southern experience, known for its jazz music, creole and Cajun cuisine, and, of course, Mardi Gras.

  • Northeast - New York City and Boston take pride of place in the Northeast ports. Helping travellers get to Bermuda, Canada, and iconic Transatlantic crossings. Sentence on inspiring things you can do while exploring these cities as done above.

  • West Coast - Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are all based here. Seattle commonly takes you North to Alaska and Pacific coastal routes, whereas San Francisco and LA typically take passengers South to the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii, and the Panama Canal (via repositioning cruises). It's a great spot for wine lovers with vineyard tours, animal lovers with seals, whales, and bears, or culture lovers with Hollywood, and the artistic city of Portland. 
  • Hawaii - Hawaii cruises can move between the islands for a wide range of experiences across a string of beautiful locations. Snorkelling, luau's, explore volcanoes, or just take in the sun with a cool drink. The main cruise port, Honolulu feeds Oahu, Maui, or the Big Island for your choice of cruise and stay options. Hawaii cruise and stay packages often include a connection in San Francisco or LA, a perfect opportunity for a stopover break to take in one of these fantastic cities.

This was a 3-course menu holiday. The 1st course was Los Angeles with the movie stars; the 2nd course included a tasty cruise to iconic San Francisco and beautiful San Diego. The desert was wacky Las Vegas and a memorable trip to the Grand Canyon.

So Easy to book over the phone

Excellent service. Emma was really helpful and explained which cabins were left for this last minute booking. We even received a further discount via P&O as we are Peninsular club members. Emma made the booking easy and it didn't take long to sort. Thank you!
