Great cruise savings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cruises have become one of the most popular ways for families to spend the Christmas holiday, so cruise fares are at their highest during December when kids are out of school. By pushing your cruise vacation to January, you can enjoy fantastic savings of as much as 50% off the premium prices charged in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.) Flights are cheaper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/best-time-to-go-on-a-cruise-to-bahamas.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/best-time-to-go-on-a-cruise-to-bahamas-400x267.avif 1x, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/best-time-to-go-on-a-cruise-to-bahamas-400x267@2x.avif 2x\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-52245 size-medium\" title=\"best time to go on a cruise to bahamas\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/best-time-to-go-on-a-cruise-to-bahamas-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"best time to go on a cruise to bahamas\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/picture><\/a>You can find some of the lowest airline prices of the year in January, which opens up a world of cruising options! If your ideal cruise vacation involves visiting as many exotic locales as possible, low airline fares make it affordable to choose an embarkation port located in your desired destination region. That way you spend less of your cruise time at sea sailing to your destination, which leaves more time for exploring exciting ports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.) Fewer crowds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The chance to experience different cultures and explore exotic locations are some of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/2016\/09\/21\/5-reasons-family-cruise-vacation\/\" target=\"_blank\">reasons to go on a cruise<\/a>, but cruise ships are at their highest capacities during the holidays. This can lead to crowded ports and heavy participation in shore excursions. Holiday crowds thin out after the New Year so you can enjoy a more relaxed, enjoyable cruising experience in January, deeply immersed in the unique cultures of your cruise destinations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.) Less kids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cruises have become a centerpiece of many families\u2019 Christmasholiday celebrations. If you prefer an adult-oriented cruise, booking your cruise for January when school has just resumed makes the most sense. After holiday vacations, many parents are reluctant to have their kids start the New Year with an extended absence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.)
