Cruise tips you can trust
Peak Season
mid-December to mid-February
Advantages
Long daylight hours (this
peaks on December 22).
Seas tend to be calmer. Waves
and winds subside at sea - and in the bays and channels.
Wildlife
viewing is at its best, both onboard and on shore. This is the prime
penguin egg-hatching season - and the fluffy chicks are adorable.
Drawbacks
Prices are at
their highest in all cabin categories.
Many cruises
are fully booked six or more months in advance.
