Caribbean – sun, beach and joy of life Would you like to escape the bad weather in Germany? Then a cruise to the Caribbean is the best choice! Turquoise water, white sandy beaches, exotic cultures and rhythmic music characterize the Caribbean. Whether Jamaica, the Bahamas or St. Lucia - each island has its own special features and charm. There is no shortage of opportunities to experience something extraordinary: diving in Belize, rum tours in Barbados or sailing between the islands are just a few of the many options. Added to this are the breathtaking natural beauties, such as the rainforest of Costa Rica, the mystical Mayan ruins in Mexico or the colorful coral reefs of Bonaire. Gastronomic journeys of discovery through Caribbean cuisine offer culinary delights such as jerk chicken, empanadas and fresh seafood. Cultural events, from Caribbean carnivals to music festivals, also offer vivid insights into the soul of the region. The Caribbean is a good choice for sun lovers, beach lovers, culture lovers and culinary enthusiasts. If you want to escape the dull weather in Europe shortly before the contemplative Advent season and are longing for sun, adventure and cultural wealth, this is the right place for you.
Always a good idea: cultural wealth and mild climate in the Mediterranean The countries around the Mediterranean, such as Italy, Greece or Spain, attract with historical sites, culinary delights and picturesque coastal landscapes. Whether a visit to the Acropolis in Athens, a wine tasting in Tuscany or a stroll through the streets of Barcelona - the Mediterranean has a lot to offer. The climate in November in the Mediterranean is generally milder than in the hot summer months. While the coastal regions in the eastern Mediterranean (e.g. Turkey, Greece) can have temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, the western areas (e.g. Spain, southern France, Italy) are often between 16 and 21 degrees. Depending on the region, the water in the Mediterranean is still a pleasant 18 to 21 degrees, which means you can even take a refreshing swim in the sea. However, the days are shorter and there can be occasional rainfall, especially in the more western regions. Nevertheless, the mild climate often offers sunny days, ideal for city tours or relaxed walks on the beach. A Mediterranean cruise is ideal for history buffs, foodies and romantics. Families also often find suitable offers here, as the distances between the ports of call are short and the temperate climate invites you to take part in various activities.
From temples to tropical Islands: exotic cruise Adventures in Asia The dry season begins in November in many parts of Southeast Asia, which offers ideal conditions for cruises: The stable weather conditions with less rain and storms enable a reliable schedule and trouble-free shore leave. The sea is calmer, a fact that ensures greater comfort on board and minimizes the risk of seasickness. The clear sky ensures good visibility on excursions as well as on days at sea. There is a lot to experience in Asia: from the temples in Cambodia to the lively markets in Vietnam to the heavenly beaches of Thailand - Asia is a continent full of wonders. Bali with its terraced rice fields, the ultra-modern metropolis of Tokyo and the majestic mountains of the Himalayas are just a fraction of what the world's largest continent has to offer. The contrast between millennia-old tradition and rapid progress can be experienced in cities like Shanghai and Mumbai, while remote locations in Myanmar or Bhutan offer travelers a glimpse of almost untouched cultures. Culinary highlights such as the street kitchens of Bangkok or the fine dim sums of Hong Kong leave no palate untouched. A cruise to Asia is perfect for adventurers, culture lovers, history buffs and culinary explorers. If you are looking for a completely different cultural and natural experience and want to experience the diversity of an entire continent, you will find an incomparable offer in Asia.
South America – from rainforests to glaciers A continent of impressive diversity, South America offers everything from the dense, vibrant rainforests of the Amazon to the towering, ice-capped glaciers of Patagonia. Brazil seduces with its vibrant Rio de Janeiro and the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain, while Argentina and Chile showcase the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes. In Peru, cruise travelers can explore the mysterious Inca city of Machu Picchu on shore leave. Additionally, coastal cities like Cartagena in Colombia offer a fascinating mix of colonial architecture and Caribbean flair. This continent is a feast for the senses, with culinary specialties ranging from ceviche to empanadas and traditional rhythms such as samba and tango. November marks the transition from spring to summer in many parts of South America. In tropical regions, such as the Amazon basin, the climate is hot and humid, while in more southern parts, such as Patagonia, it is milder and windier but gradually warming. In the Andes, the weather varies depending on altitude, with cooler temperatures at higher altitudes. The Pacific Coast of Peru and Ecuador can experience moderate temperatures and occasional rain showers, while the Atlantic Coast of Brazil enjoys sunny and warm conditions. A November cruise to South America particularly appeals to nature lovers, adventurers and explorers. Anyone who wants to experience cross-continental differences in culture and nature will find what they are looking for here.
At the edge of the world: luxury cruise meets expedition adventure in Antarctica Often referred to as our planet's final frontier, Antarctica offers a stunning landscape of shimmering icebergs, rugged glaciers and endless snowfields. Here, on the most remote continent on earth, cruisers encounter impressive wildlife, from majestic emperor penguins to curious seals to massive whales. The constantly changing light conditions, especially at dawn and dusk, bathe the icy wilderness in a magical light and offer photographers incredible subjects. In addition, abandoned research stations and historic expedition huts tell exciting stories about the brave explorers who once ventured into this inhospitable landscape. In November, Antarctica experiences the blossoming of the Antarctic summer. Although the temperatures are usually still below freezing, they are milder than in the extremely cold winter months. This transition allows for longer daylight hours and slightly warmer weather, increasing accessibility for cruises and excursions. However, the climate remains extremely cold and unpredictable, which is why preparation and appropriate equipment are essential. This travel destination is therefore suitable for adventurers, nature lovers and photographers who are reasonably “weatherproof” and are not afraid of daily sub-zero temperatures. In return, you will experience a unique and unforgettable experience in one of the most untouched regions on earth.

Depending on your preferences and interests, you can choose between tropical warmth, cultural treasures, exotic adventures or frosty landscapes.
