Why January Is the Perfect Time to Sail?

January is one of the most underrated — and smartest — times to travel.

For Canadians, it’s the ideal escape from winter, with warm temperatures, sunshine, and a welcome change of pace. It’s also considered off-season for Europe, which often means:

• Better flight availability

• Potential savings on airfare

• Fewer crowds in port

• A more relaxed, authentic experience ashore

Add to that calmer seas, comfortable daytime temperatures, and the joy of trading snow boots for deck shoes — and January becomes the sweet spot for this itinerary.

What sets it apart:
