Best time to cruise the Mediterranean

Seasons, weather and crowds to pick your month.

ExploraGo Team

The Mediterranean is sailed from April to October, but every month has its own character.

May and September usually offer the best balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. July and August are the hottest and busiest.

If you're after lower prices, consider the edges of the season, accepting more risk of rain or reduced hours at some ports.
