Best summer excursions on a world cruise
When most of us picture summer, we think of lazy beach days, backyard barbecues, or perhaps a quick weekend getaway. But for world cruise enthusiasts, summer takes on a whole new, thrilling dimension. And that likely includes embarking on epic summer excursions.
Imagine waking up to the turquoise waters of Tahiti, then a week later, hiking along the breathtaking Italian coast, and perhaps sipping limoncello under the Mediterranean sun—all without the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking. This is the unparalleled beauty of a summer world cruise: every new destination feels like a dream vacation, yet it’s simply another incredible day on your journey around the globe.
At World Cruise Advisors, we live for the amazing summer stories our clients bring back—whether it’s kayaking through Norway’s majestic fjords or marveling at vibrant fireworks illuminating the skies of Japan. If you’re envisioning your own summer at sea, here are some of our favorite excursions to ignite your wanderlust:
Snorkeling in Bora Bora: Dive into the warm, clear waters of French Polynesia’s most iconic lagoon and swim alongside graceful rays and curious reef sharks.
Cooking Class in Sorrento: Swap typical summer fare for a hands-on culinary adventure on Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast, where you’ll learn to craft fresh pasta and limoncello.
Fireworks Festival in Japan: If your world cruise includes a stop in Japan during July or August, immerse yourself in a summer matsuri, complete with traditional lanterns, colorful yukata, and spectacular fireworks displays.
Kayaking the Fjords: Paddle through the serene waters of Norway, surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls. Here, summer offers long, golden days and refreshing mountain air.
