If you are looking for a destination for your summer cruise, I am going to make some recommendations, understanding summer in the Northern Hemisphere, with less saturated itineraries, and away from the sun and the beach.
For me the ideal destinations are precisely those that take you to the Norwegian fjords, and in northern Europe, but I'm still going to give you more ideas.
One of the advantages of visiting the Norwegian fjords in July and August is that you will be able to see nature in all its splendor, melting waterfalls, glaciers, green valleys, all from the comfortable and exclusive view of the side of a ship, and at a very pleasant temperature. And with a privilege, remember that at this station the white nights occurIn other words, the sun does not finish setting and the darkness is not absolute. Something that you will not notice, if you do not want because all the windows and portholes have curtains that do not let the light through. If you decide on any of the cruises to the Norwegian fjords, yes or yes, visit the Geiranger, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, protected by UNESCO, in which 7 streams flow into the sea.
Continuing in Europe, and within that Polar circle, is Iceland, where July and August reach the highest average temperatures, I'm talking about 11 or 12 degrees. So it is time to visit this unknown and fascinating land. The port of Isafjordur allows you to approach the West Fjords, surrounded by immense cliffs. Reykjavik, its capital, is famous for its old quarter and its nightlife. Almost all companies offer an itinerary, of more than 10 days, that combines Northern Europe with Iceland.
Another ideal destination option in Summer is Alaska. Sailing from Seattle or Vancouver to Whittier through the Inside Passage and the Gulf of Alaska is a unique experience. Summer is the time for the sun at midnight and sightings of humpback whales, eagles and caribou, so this is a cruise for nature and wildlife lovers.
