October Cruises

Your favorite destinations without the crowds

October is one of the most underrated months to travel. On an October cruise to southern Europe, for example, it’s still warm, but the summer crowds have faded away, making this the perfect time to explore the Alhambra’s Palace in Granada, Barcelona’s dramatic architecture, and Lisbon’s hilly streets and enchanting neighborhoods.

Embark on the adventure of a transatlantic crossing, where relaxing days at sea are bookended by exciting ports, from rocky Gibraltar to dreamy Bermuda, fringed by pink sand beaches and coral reefs. You could also head on a wildlife adventure to the Galapagos, a miraculous archipelago where you can swim with penguins, see giant tortoises, and get close to sea lions and charismatic-looking iguanas.

Itineraries

Top october cruise destinations, spain & portugal.

Skip the summer heat on an October cruise to Spain and Portugal. Indulge in a colorful paella in Valencia and take a tour from the ancient port of Cadiz to Jerez, home of sherry. Visit gorgeous Granada to admire the exquisite Alhambra’s Palace. In Malaga, you can see Picasso’s birthplace and enjoy fresh seafood on the beach. Portugal’s enchanting city of Porto is the perfect opportunity to sit by the banks of the Douro River with an iced port and tonic, watching the world go by.

The Galapagos is a year-round destination and thrilling to visit whenever you choose to go. In October, seal lions are tending their pups, while flamingos are nesting and giant tortoises are laying their eggs. Galapagos penguins are especially active, zooming around you while you snorkel, and humpback whales are still feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. The weather is slightly cooler during this season, so it’s the perfect time for hiking lava trails and kayaking through green mangroves.

Transatlantic Cruises

Journey from the old world to the new on an Atlantic crossing between Europe and Fort Lauderdale. Sail from Barcelona to intriguing cities including Marseille, Palma, Cartagena, and Gibraltar. Or follow the sun south from Southampton, England, to the verdant Azores, scattered in the mid-Atlantic. You’ll visit Bermuda’s historic Royal Naval Dockyard, too, and in between ports, enjoy carefree days at sea to relax and unwind on your luxurious Celebrity ship.

Cabo Cruises – Cabo San Lucas Getaway

Beaches by day and celebrations by night on cruises to cabo.

Say hello to sunny beaches and adventure-filled exploration on a Cabo cruise with Princess®. Dive below the water’s surface to see colorful marine life, or zipline through the canyons to take in the views from above. During an overnight stay in Cabo, shop for artisan crafts by day, then dine beachside by night. With convenient roundtrip travel from Los Angeles, relaxation and adventure is never too far away.

Cruise to Cabo San Lucas port

Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo is surrounded by clear waters, sun-kissed beaches and the majestic rock formation, El Arco. While it’s one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, El Arco is also a haven for sea lions. On a Cabo cruise, sail by catamaran under the famous arch to see these wildlife, and enjoy an afternoon relaxing on the secluded shores of Lover’s Beach.

What to Do on a Cruise to Cabo

On a Cabo cruise with Princess, bring your wildest vacation dreams to life.

Medano Beach

Deep sea fishing, san jose del cabo.

No cruise to Cabo is complete without a trip to El Arco. Separating the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortez, this landmark is more than just a rock formation, it’s an emblem of the Baja Peninsula. Travel past El Arco on board a catamaran and look for the sea lions that play nearby. Then make your way to Lover’s Beach and relish in relaxation as you unwind shoreside.

As one of the most popular beaches in Cabo, Medano Beach is an adventurer’s playground. Relax on the golden shores, kayak with loved ones or set out on a parasailing expedition, where you can enjoy views of the shore from above. With plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, Medano Beach is the perfect outing for the entire family during your Cabo cruise.

Reel in endless treasures and memories during your Mexico cruise to Cabo. From marlin and swordfish to tuna and grouper, these waters are home to a wide variety of marine life, making it one of the finest sportfishing destinations in the world. With a local fisherman as your guide, embark on a deep-sea exploration and cast your rod into adventure.

Teeming with charm and character, San Jose del Cabo invites you to step back in time as you tour its colorful streets. With preserved 18th-century architecture, the city still holds true to its Spanish colonial personality. On a Mexico cruise to Cabo, enjoy a scenic car ride from the port to this historical town. Wander along La Plaza, stroll through art galleries and visit the San Jose del Cabo Church.

Cabo excursions

Our shore excursions redefine cruise vacations. Board a pirate ship and sail along the coast to learn about the Riviera’s rich history. Snorkel through the turquoise waters alongside your guide, who can bring you up close to coral reefs and colorful marine life. Or horseback ride along the sun-kissed shores while admiring the beauty and wildlife around you. See the city by land and sea on a cruise to Cabo with Princess.

More ashore

Enjoy every second in Cabo with More Ashore overnight stays. On our 5-day Cabo San Lucas cruise getaways, enjoy two full days in Mexico’s resort city. Sip on a cocktail while watching the sun set over the ocean. Dance the night away in one of the bustling bars. Or taste Mexican street-food — including smoked fish, tacos and chicken tamales — at any of the city’s restaurants.

Ships on this itinerary

Our Princess fleet includes ships that offer a multitude of amenities and feature the innovative MedallionClass™ experience. From a balcony stateroom, take in the sights and sounds of the colorful cultures ashore before enjoying the “sabor” of local cuisine in one of our many eateries during your Cabo San Lucas cruise.

#PrincessCruises Mexico Connections

See Mexico through our guests' eyes.

Mexico Cruises Onboard Experience

Experience the country’s unique character the second you step on the ship with traditional Mexican cuisine, events and activities.

Mariachi and margaritas

Sip, savor and sway to the music with onboard activities that give you a taste of Mexican tradition. Sample tequila while learning about the drink’s history from a local expert, and indulge your taste buds with tacos and fajitas. Or let loose with your loved ones during a mariachi performance, and dance to the lively tune of violins and guitars. On a cruise to Mexico with Princess, activities lie around every corner.

Every reason to celebrate

On select sailings in October and November, discover the region’s heritage with our Mexican Fiesta. Celebrate the Day of the Dead, a holiday to commemorate loved ones who have passed. From face-painting to Aztec flower-making, there are activities for the whole family on a cruise to Mexico. Learn a traditional dance, decorate marzipan skulls and make a skeleton out of pasta. Or watch dancers perform ‘The Procession of the Dead.’

Mexican and Spanish Cuisine

Famous for a reason

Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural heritage and preservation of culinary technique, Mexican and Spanish cuisine is a big part of the region’s culture. Sample the bold flavors and creative combinations for yourself on a cruise to Mexico with Princess. In many of our dining rooms, enjoy Mexican-themed dishes — like ceviche, fajitas and coconut cocadas — for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Best Affordable Cruise Lines

How to find the best cruise deals, tips for saving money while on board.

Cruising has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. This form of travel is incredibly convenient (read: no need to pack and unpack), and everything you need can be found right on board — ultimately taking the stress out of trip planning. Plus, with hundreds of ships at sea across dozens of lines, there’s a cruise out here for every type of traveler. Fortunately, cruising doesn’t have to cost a small fortune, and many budget-conscious travelers may opt to set sail for their next trip. Below, we’ve rounded up the best cruise lines offering affordable fares coupled with value-packed inclusions to stretch your dollar further. We’ve also tapped some expert cruise specialists to share their top tips and tricks to help you save money both on and off the ship.

Here's everything you need to know to book an affordable cruise vacation.

Virgin Voyages

Courtesy of Virgin Voyages

This adults-only cruise line from Richard Branson — which also happens to be a Travel + Leisure World’s Best Award winner — offers excellent value. In fact, according to T+L A-list cruise advisor and Q Cruise + Travel founder and president Rob Clabbers, Virgin Voyages fares “include more than on most mainstream large-ship cruise lines.” For example, he says, “Virgin fares include internet access, gratuities, all meals — there are no cover charges for its restaurants that on most other lines would be considered specialty restaurants.” Beverages like soft drinks, coffee, and tea are also included, as are snacks, mezze at the aft terrace, and group workout classes. Best of all, there are no pricey beverage packages. “Instead,” says Clabbers, cruisers — or, as Virgin calls them, sailors — can buy their own reasonably priced drinks (think: beers from $6, $10 cocktails, and wines by the glass under $11) a la carte. Additionally, with some promotions , the cruise line throws in a “ bar tab ” credit that can be used towards drinks.

Princess Cruises

Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure

Another World’s Best Award winner — and WBA Hall of Fame Honoree, no less — this fan-favorite ocean line is renowned for refined ships, serene ambiance, and exceptional service. Moreover, per Clabbers, passengers can choose from “optional packages to help customize a passenger’s trip that provide savings over buying things separately.” For an extra $60 per day, consider Princess Plus, which offers perks like Wi-Fi for one device per guest, gratuities, fitness classes (two per sailing), and beverages like bottled water, specialty coffee, soft drinks, and juice. Alternatively, for $80 per day, passengers can spring on the Princess Premier package, which features the same beverages plus specialty dining (two per sailing), unlimited fitness classes, premium desserts, reserved theater seating, and Wi-Fi (four devices per guest).

Norwegian Cruise Line 

Norwegian Cruise Line is a favorite among families of all ages for its over-the-top entertainment and activities (think: go-karting, Broadway-caliber productions, and so on). “While Norwegian Cruise Line may price slightly higher than some of its competitors, you need to consider the Free at Sea package,” says travel advisor Jennifer Travis of Marvelous Mouse Travels . She goes on to describe the promotion as a “game-changer when it comes to cruising” since it includes perks like a “free open bar (up to $1,400 in savings), free specialty dining (up to $180 in savings), free Wi-Fi (up to $200 in savings), and a $50 discount on excursions.” Other Free at Sea perks include 70 percent off second guests, free third and fourth guests (on select dates), and free airfare (per the cruise line’s website: “ Pay airfare for one guest, and you'll automatically lock in roundtrip flights for two ”). Also, you can’t go wrong with the Free at Sea Plus package, which includes a wider selection of beverages, more specialty dining, unlimited Wi-Fi, and additional shore excursion credits. Before booking, be sure to check the line’s full selection of deals , which run the gamut from half-off deposits to $150 cruise credits and more.

Royal Caribbean

Courtesy of Royal Caribbean

Zip lines, water slides, surfing simulators, ice skating, rock climbing walls: Find all this and more aboard (most) Royal Caribbean ships — and, best of all, they’re complimentary! Ideal for fun- and adventure-loving travelers of all ages — read: kids and kids-at-heart alike — it’s pretty much impossible to be bored while cruising on this World’s Best Award-winning mega-ship line . Additionally, according to Travis, Royal Caribbean “offers some of the best short itineraries,” some of which clock in at under $200 per person for two-night sailings. Longer itineraries, including a seven-night Bahamas sailing aboard one of the line’s newest ships, Odyssey of the Seas , clock in at under $600 per person. The line also offers an abundance of deals , including up to $600 off sailings, 60 percent off second guests, and more.

Carnival Cruise Line 

Courtesy of Carnival Cruises

“ Carnival Cruise Line is known for its competitive pricing without cutting back on the onboard activities or various dining options, thus making them an attractive option to budget-conscious cruisers,” explains Travis. For example, many itineraries, including a four-night Bahamas cruise from Miami , clock in at just over $150 per person. Additionally, says the travel advisor, “Carnival sails to a wide variety of destinations from so many local ports that you almost do not need to fly to your cruise ship anymore, which is another huge savings given the cost (and stress) flights can add to any vacation.” Keep an eye out for frequent flash sales for even more savings.

Booking early is an easy way to save on your next cruise vacation . “Typically,” says Travis, “the best pricing on a cruise is when the schedule is first released.” And, while you could wait for a last-minute deal, “you may not get the room category that you want.” Similarly, Clabbers says that flexibility is key when it comes to finding — and scoring — the best cruise deals . For example, he previously told T+L that if you are “very flexible and are looking for a standard room on a large ship on an itinerary that repeats week after week, you are more likely to find a promotional fare.”

Conversely, giving up some of that flexibility sometimes pays off. According to Clabbers, select cruise lines will offer lower fares to those who opt for a nonrefundable deposit instead of a refundable one. Finally, you may also consider cruising in shoulder season or even low season. Sure, the weather won’t be perfect, but the fewer crowds and cheaper fares more than make up for that, especially if you’re on a budget.

While your tab can quickly rack up once on board, there are several savvy ways to save money. For one, consider bringing your own booze. According to Travis, “Many cruise lines allow their guests to bring a specific amount of alcohol or nonalcoholic beverages onboard the ships, which can help save you money while you are on the ship.” Additionally, ​​Michele Benard , another travel advisor at Marvelous Mouse Travels, advises packing your own necessities from home — like Advil, Tums,  motion sickness medicine, and after-sun lotion — as opposed to buying them on board at a much higher price. You’ll also want to skip the souvenirs at the onboard gift shop, which tend to be more expensive than those you’d find in port.

Benard also recommends taking advantage of “all the free activities on the cruise ships,” which can include everything from water slides to trivia game shows. Pro tip: “Stay onboard during a port day, and the lines won’t be as long.” On a similar note, spa treatments tend to be less expensive on port days, so those craving some R&R — that is, sans breaking the bank — may consider booking a service during this time.

Finally, says Clabbers, save money on your next cruise by enlisting the help of an onboard cruise consultant to select your next sailing. “You will typically receive an onboard credit or savings on your next cruise, and your own travel advisor will be alerted so they can help you plan your vacation.”

Gop congressional campaign committees rake in $660k after trump verdict, highest single-day haul of cycle.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Congressional Republican campaign committees shattered records for the highest single-day haul  of this election cycle following former  President Donald Trump’s unprecedented conviction in Manhattan .

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) raised at least $300,000 on Thursday, topping the $175,000 in donations it received after the Oct. 25 election of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

The NRCC intake was first reported by Punchbowl News . The committee is chaired by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC).

“The American people hate how the justice system was weaponized to convict President Trump,” said NRCC national press secretary Will Reinert.

Former US President Donald Trump gestures to the media and the crowd outside of Trump Tower after a jury found him guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal trial in New York State Supreme Court in New York, New York, USA, 30 May 2024.

“They are opening up their wallets to protest Joe Biden and House Democrats’ kangaroo court, and they will deliver the final verdict with their votes this November.”

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) also had a red-letter Thursday with $360,000 in donations.

“Outrage over this sham verdict spurred grassroots Americans into action,” NRSC executive director Jason Thielman said.

The NRSC’s previous record was set at $325,000 on Super Tuesday, when Trump secured the Republican presidential nomination

Trump, 77, was found guilty by a Manhattan jury of 34 felony counts of fudging business records to hide evidence of a $130,000 “hush money” payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 election campaign to conceal an alleged 2006 extramarital affair.

Crowds of pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators packed the streets outside the Manhattan courthouse as the verdict was announced, waving Trump 2024 flags and signs declaring “Not Above The Law,” depending on their opinion.

Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., arrives to a meeting of the House Republican Conference in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.

WinRed, the official donation portal for the Republican Party, crashed less than an hour after the verdict, with House GOP leaders like conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) spurring on the contributions .

On Friday morning, the Trump campaign announced it had raised a whopping $34.8 million since the candidate’s conviction.

“The historic surge of support for President Donald Trump totaling over $34 million in donations shows the American people taking action against the unAmerican weaponization of our justice system and illegal election interference,” Stefanik told The Post.

“Yesterday’s rigged verdict exposed the deep-rooted rot within Joe Biden’s corrupt Justice Department that is an arm of the failing Democrat Party. The American people know that the only verdict that matters comes on Election Day when the people will elect President Trump in November to save America.”

One Trump campaign official told the Wall Street Journal that a fundraiser was held at a private residence Thursday night.

Trump supporters and Anti-Trump protestors react after the former USA president was found guilty in "Hush Money" Trial

Former Long Island Congressman and Trump campaign surrogate Lee Zeldin said the same night on X that a “massive ask” for an $800,000 donation to the former president’s joint fundraising committee the same evening had never been so “easy.”

“I’M A POLITICAL PRISONER! I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG!” read one message from the Trump National Committee Joint Fundraising Committee blasted out on Truth Social as news of the jury’s decision broke. “YOUR SUPPORT IS THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN US AND TOTAL TYRANNY!” the frantic appeal went on. “So I need 10 MILLION TRUE MAGA PATRIOTS to chip in and proudly shout: I STAND WITH TRUMP!”

Trump supporters and onlookers gathered outside of Trump Tower after Donald Trump was found guilty in New York, NY on May 30, 2024.

The Trump campaign took in $4.18 million the day after he was booked and his mugshot was taken at a Fulton County, Georgia, jail in August.

The Georgia and New York City cases are two of four criminal indictments brought against the former president ahead of the 2024 election, along with federal indictments in Washington, DC, and south Florida.

Trump will be sentenced in Manhattan on July 11, one week before he formally accepts the Republican presidential nomination. His attorneys have vowed to appeal the decision “as soon as we can.”

Trump attorney Todd Blanche says the Trump team felt strongly there was an actual bias from Judge Juan Merchan on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

Johnson told radio host Hugh Hewitt in a Friday morning interview that “it’s a certainty that it will be overturned.”

“We know that Michael Cohen perjured himself on the stand. He should have been impugned as a witness, and he wasn’t, and the entire case is premised and built upon his testimony,” he said.

“This will drag this out now for another month for sentencing and then all the way through the convention,” he added. “That’s the game.”

Kawartha Cruise

You can take a 5 day cruise in Ontario staying in beautiful small towns

Latest Videos

I've always dreamed of taking a cruise , and recently, I've been looking at a bunch of local ones that pass through some of my favourite spots in Ontario .

The Kawartha Cruise , operated by Ontario Waterway Cruise Inc. , has definitely moved to the top of my bucket list . It looks like the perfect journey through the Kawartha Region - one of the most beautiful spots in the province .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by JUDI COHEN 🇨🇦✈️⚓️Travel Writer (@travelingjudi)

This cruise showcases a bunch of engineering marvels, including the Peterborough Lift Lock, the Kirkfield Lift Lock , and the Big Chute Marine Railway.

The Trent-Severn Waterway was opened for navigation across central Ontario in 1920, connecting Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay.

This 386 km stretch of scenic lakes , rivers, and locks took 87 years to complete. It originally served the needs of the local lumber industry and neighbouring communities.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Christine (@discovering_ontario)

Nowadays, it's a recreational wonder maintained by Parks Canada , with over 120,000 boats passing through each season! Now, let's dive into the itinerary and see what makes this cruise so special.

Cruise Route: Peterborough to Big Chute

Your journey begins in Peterborough, where registration starts at 8 p.m. behind the Peterborough Holiday Inn. You'll have plenty of time to explore the city and its surrounding area before the cruise departs the next morning.

Day 1: Peterborough to Buckhorn

Departing at breakfast, the Kawartha Voyageur ascends seven locks on the Otonabee River between Peterborough and Lakefield , including the town's impressive Lift Lock. After lunch, the cruise sails into Lake Katchewanooka, the first of the famous Kawartha Lakes .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Village Marketing • Digital Marketing in the Kawarthas (@villagemarketinglakefield)

The journey continues upstream through Young's Point, Clear Lake, Hell's Gate with its lonely Church on the Rock, and Stoney Lake to Burleigh Falls. After crossing Lovesick and Lower Buckhorn Lakes, the boat docks for the night in the village of Buckhorn.

Day 2: Buckhorn to Kirkfield Lift Lock

Leaving Buckhorn at breakfast, the cruise enjoys a relaxing day through five more Kawartha Lakes and the villages of Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls. The day ends at the Kirkfield Lift Lock after passing through the man-made channel .

Day 3: Kirkfield to Orillia

From the summit of the Trent-Severn Waterway at Kirkfield Lift Lock, the cruise heads downstream through Canal Lake and the Talbot River, passing through five locks and several swing bridges before entering Lake Simcoe.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Out for a Trek (@outforatrek)

A mid-afternoon crossing of about 15 miles brings the boat to the port of Orillia for the night. Perched directly at the top of Lake Simcoe , Orillia is a fun place to spend the day with satisfying surprises around every corner.

Day 4: Orillia to Port Stanton

After a morning of exploration , the cruise sails up Lake Couchiching and enters the Severn River at Washago. This stretch of the Severn River to Sparrow Lake offers stunning views of homes and cottages . The boat docks overnight at Port Stanton on Sparrow Lake.

Day 5: Port Stanton to Big Chute

The final day features the dramatic scenery of the Severn River, including the Swift Rapids lock. The boat reaches its destination at the Big Chute Marine Railway, where there's time to view the marine railway before boarding a chartered bus back to Peterborough, arriving around 5 p.m.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Heli.Pics (@heli.pics)

This cruise through the Kawartha Lakes and Severn River clearly promises an unforgettable experience , and I can't wait to make it and soak up everything it has to offer.
