Perhaps the most popular destination when it comes to July cruising is the Mediterranean. In the height of summer, the region typically enjoys the best of the sun, which makes it the best time to explore some of Europe's most historic places and scenic ports.
Visit iconic cities such as Spain's cultural hub of Barcelona or Italy's Rome, where the mighty Colosseum and the stunning Pantheon await. If France is your perfect destination, picturesque Provence and sunny St Tropez both feature on several itineraries throughout July.
Another popular destination for cruising in July is the Caribbean, which enjoys year-round popularity due to its appealing climate, postcard-perfect beaches and fun-filled activities.

During July, enjoy festivals in Tobago and experience carnival in Antigua with street parades and concerts as the summer season presents the fun and fascinating cultures to enjoy.
No matter where your itinerary takes you, you can be assured of a sun-drenched holiday where you can swim with amazing manta rays one day and sip a cocktail on the beach the next.
July is also prime time to explore further north and reach the tip of Europe, where you can experience Norway’s broad horizons, Finland’s immense natural beauty, Denmark's legendary capital Copenhagen and Iceland's unforgettable Reykjavik.
Or welcome in the July summer in the warm climate of the Canary Islands, exploring Tenerife, Lanzarote or Gran Canaria as the temperature heats up and rainfall is highly unlikely.
The summer months also bring opportunities to explore the icy wonders of Alaska and, as a result, there are quite a lot of July cruises which follow Alaskan itineraries.
