Early spring is a great time for a cruise holiday. Finally, you'll get to feel the warm sun on your skin and recharge your battery after those long, grey winter months. And as a bonus: you avoid the large crowds of tourists that tend to be around in the summer! A great opportunity to cross off some of those bucket list items. Pick Honolulu, for instance, and head to this cruise destination for some whale spotting or a visit to 'Iolani Palace: finding tickets will not be an issue this time of year.

Highly recommended: board a cruise ship in San Juan in Puerto Rico. Waving palm trees, crystal-clear sea water, a historic city centre... A perfect recipe for some ultimate relaxation. Another great destination for a spring holiday cruise is Fort Lauderdale, where you will find out why Florida is called 'the Sunshine State'!
