&nbsp;Go whale-watching in Hawaii
Hawaii is the 50th State of the USA and makes for one of the most welcoming and relaxing warm cruises in January. One of the many great things about our <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/new-york-las-vegas-los-angeles-waikiki-beach-and-hawaii-cruise-stay-holiday/342/">cruise and stay holidays to Hawaii</a> is the range of different experiences on offer. They’re cruises, beach holidays and city breaks all rolled into one glorious winter getaway.&nbsp;
For example, depending on the deal you choose, you could be visiting iconic sights in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/san-francisco-hawaiian-islands-cruise-stay-holiday/573/">San Francisco</a> before island-hopping around Hawaii and soaking in the wall-to-wall sunshine. January is also a great time to go on a whale-watching trip and get close to these majestic mammals.&nbsp;

Explore the Eastern Caribbean in style
We couldn’t cover the <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/new-york-miami-dazzling-caribbean-cruise-and-stay-holiday/391/">best places to cruise in January</a> without featuring the Eastern Caribbean. While it’s typically the coldest (least warm) month of the year, the temperatures and lack of rainfall make it a much more attractive option than staying home in the UK because they’re on par with our summers.&nbsp;
Our <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/miami-caribbean-cruise-stay-holiday/375/">Caribbean cruise and stay holidays</a> with Carnival and MSC stop off at dream destinations, including Ocean Cay, Nassau, San Juan, Amber Cove and Grand Turk. Scuba diving and snorkelling in the latter is particularly pleasant in January, thanks to water temperatures of around 26℃ - a little bit nicer than the North Sea at that time of year!&nbsp;

Savour a wonderfully warm Western Caribbean Cruise
There are so many magical islands in the Caribbean. If you’ve been to the eastern side previously, maybe you’ll think west is best after a <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/memphis-new-orleans-caribbean-cruise-stay-holiday/395/">cruise and stay getaway</a> to the likes of Belize and Cozumel in Mexico. If you’re visiting the latter in January, you might be lucky enough to catch a live rehearsal in the form of a street parade ahead of the Cozumel Carnival celebrations that take place in February.&nbsp;
If you and your companions can’t decide where to go in January, this <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/miami-and-all-inclusive-western-caribbean-cruise-stay/399/">Western Caribbean cruise</a> and stay blends time in dazzling Miami, leisurely days at sea, and visits to three more captivating countries as your voyage unfolds.&nbsp;

Sensational &nbsp;Southern Caribbean Cruises
We couldn’t just cover some of the Caribbean and not mention the sizzling Southern part. It’s right up there with the <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/puerto-rico-southern-caribbean-cruise-stay-holiday/452/">best places for a January cruise</a> with ports of call such as Aruba, Puerto Rico and Barbados to give your winter holiday a wonderful warm glow.&nbsp;
If you’re in San Juan in Puerto Rico when the San Sebastián Street Festival (aka La SanSe) is on, the live music, tantalising street food and street parades will provide a memorable day. It’s held on the third weekend of the month. There’s sure to be many more highlights of your <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/niagara-falls-new-york-miami-caribbean-cruise-stay-holiday/507/">Southern Caribbean cruise</a>, not least the idyllic beaches, and a vast array of entertainment and activities on board your ship. With temperatures hitting highs of around 29℃, it tops many people’s lists of where to cruise in January.
Make waves in the Middle East
Warm <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/dubai-middle-east-cruise-stay-holiday/378/">cruises in January</a> aren’t confined to the Caribbean. For a completely different winter holiday, the Middle East offers a great deal for all ages and interests. Start your break with three nights seeing the many attractions in Dubai, from the world’s tallest building (The Burj Khalifa) to the enchanting Dubai Fountain.&nbsp;
The Middle East may not have a long-standing reputation as one of the best places to cruise in January, but that’s changing quickly. While Dubai gets a lot of the limelight, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Qatar are all worth visiting in their own right for different reasons. Weather-wise, you’re looking at mild and pleasant temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius, lower humidity than in the summer, and a good eight hours of sunshine per day. Check out this cracking <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/dubai-abu-dhabi-qatar-cruise-and-stay-holiday/400/">Middle East cruise and stay package</a>.&nbsp;

Hawaii is an island archipelago and the 50th state of the United States of America. It has, however, got an unmistakably unique charm of its own thanks to the unbelievable beaches, glistening waterfalls, volcanic landscape and serene state parks.&nbsp;

San Juan, Puerto Rico's capital and largest city, sits on the &nbsp;island's Atlantic coast. Its widest beach fronts the Isla Verde resort &nbsp;strip, known for its bars, nightclubs and casinos. Cobblestoned Old San &nbsp;Juan features colorful Spanish colonial buildings and 16th-century &nbsp;landmarks including El Morro and La Fortaleza, massive fortresses with &nbsp;sweeping ocean views, as well as the Paseo de la Princesa bayside &nbsp;promenade. &nbsp;

If you have a head for heights, then a trip to the observation deck of Dubai’s 828 metre skyscraper, Burj Khalifa, is an absolute must. There is also a sail-shaped hotel, incredible man-made palm islands, shopping galore and even an indoor skiing and snowboarding facility. Other sports are well catered for too with immaculate golf courses, jet skiing and kitesurfing.
Indoor attractions include Dubai Aquarium and the IMG Worlds of Adventure amusement park which make for a great day out for kids and adults alike. Dubai also has its own Legoland and ice rink so you’ll never be short of places to go and have some fun.&nbsp;
And Jumeirah Beach allows you to unwind on the Persian Gulf coast with an impressive array of skyscrapers as a backdrop.&nbsp;

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and home to some amazing thrills such as the world’s fastest rollercoaster at Ferrari World on Yas Island. With a high speed of almost 150 mph it’s not a ride for the faint-hearted. Also on the island, you’ll find Yas Waterworld which makes for another action-packed experience.&nbsp;
Abu Dhabi also has many renowned shopping malls on a massive scale. Step out of the warm sunshine and browse designer labels and more till your heart’s content in the World Trade Centre or Khalidiyah Mall with its 160 stores.
There are lots of great outdoor experiences too with a number of beaches including Corniche and Saadiyat, Mangrove National Park and Emirates Park Zoo. Abu Dhabi is a versatile city with lots to do for families and couples. The city also has one of the largest mosques in the world which can hold up to 41,000 people. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque has 82 domes and a minaret which is over 100 metres tall.&nbsp;
There are many amazing examples of modern architecture such as the Landmark skyscraper which stretches up for 324 metres. The Aldar Headquarters building is a striking circular construction that’s over 100 metres high. Capital Gate is an office building which has been given the nickname of the ‘Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi’. It may not have the same history as Pisa’s iconic tower, but it’s an architectural masterpiece in its own right.&nbsp;
