North Europe cruise November or april

#1

Post by Mrbennyboy84 »

Hi all I'm new I hope this is in the right part. I am looking to book my first ever cruise and I am on a very tight budget. I have found to 7 night cruises in budget one in mid November one in mid April both going to rotterdam and bruges. I was just wondering which would likely be better time of year to travel. Thanks in advance.

I would chose mid April when the weather will likely fluctuate between sunshine and showers.

The Christmas Markets kick off in early December so this may also provide a better option to rainy mid November.

Welcome on board.

As said April will likely be warmer, but if you can go in late November, the Christmas market may be open - which is atmospheric.
