We all know the UK weather’s likely to take a turn for the worse as Christmas approaches, so it pays to plan an escape from those winter blues. We’ve carefully considered our five best places to cruise in November and shared them below.
Whether you’re looking for wall-to-wall Caribbean sunshine, a voyage of discovery to the Far East or a magical Mediterranean tour, we’ve got you covered with cruise deals that are excellent value for money.&nbsp;
A memorable November cruise around the Med&nbsp;
Where is best to cruise in November when your heart is set on the Med? Don’t stick to just one country when you can<a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/valencia-mediterranean-cruise-stay-holiday/470/"> </a><a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/valencia-mediterranean-cruise-stay-holiday/470/">book a cruise holiday to Spain, France and Italy</a>. For only £749pp, you can enjoy an eight-night escape starting in Valencia and stopping off at destinations including Genoa, Palermo and Ibiza.
While temperatures plunge at home, you could be basking in highs of 20℃ in Valencia, for example. Wearing short sleeves and sandals is far better than staying in the UK with your winter coat and thick socks.&nbsp;
There’s a lot to see and do in Valencia all year round, including cultural events such as Japan Weekend and Esmorzafest for foodies. The pleasant climate and fewer tourists make the Mediterranean undoubtedly one of the best places to cruise in November.&nbsp;

Enjoy a cruise with a difference from Dubai
You may not have thought about the Middle East as somewhere to cruise in November, but the region has so much going for it. With warm temperatures and low rainfall, you can explore Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi without a care in the world.&nbsp;
Our<a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/dubai-middle-east-cruise-stay-holiday/378/"> </a><a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/dubai-middle-east-cruise-stay-holiday/378/">cruise holidays to the Middle East</a> are great for families, groups of friends and couples because there’s such a diverse range of entertainment, iconic sights and activities to try. For example, Golf’s DP World Tour Championship is held in Dubai every November, where the top players showcase their skills and bid to win the iconic trophy.
Prices for three nights in Dubai and a seven-night cruise start from just £1,349pp in November with MSC. We'd highly recommend the Middle East if you’re wondering where to cruise in November and want to go somewhere new.

Discover a picturesque Panama Canal cruise&nbsp;
The third of our <a href="https://viva-cruise.co.uk/deal/miami-stay-panama-canal-sunfarer-cruise/521/">best places to cruise in November</a> is the Panama Canal. It’s one of the world’s most iconic waterways and you can glide along it in luxurious surroundings with Holland America.&nbsp;
Of course, there’s much more to your cruise holiday than spending a day on the Panama Canal. In the deal above, you’ll set sail from Miami and fall in love with the beaches of the Bahamas and Cayman Islands along the way before finishing your voyage of a lifetime back in Florida.
You’ll get to spend several days at sea to relax and be pampered between destinations, so you’ll return home feeling refreshed and grateful for a magical time on the glistening ocean waves.&nbsp;

Located in northwest Italy, Genoa is an absolute gem. It’s the capital of the Liguria region and offers wonderful views over the Ligurian Sea. There’s so much to see and do here, but no trip would be complete without a walk down Via Garibaldi – a UNESCO-listed street with beautiful buildings abound.
This port city has so much to see and do on dry land from the aquarium and 76m-high lighthouse, through to museums, castles and cathedrals. There are many narrow lanes to explore on foot or you can take a boat trip which provides the chance to see whales and dolphins up close.&nbsp;
As you’d expect from an Italian city, Genoa’s gastronomic offerings are legendary. These include the famous farinata (chickpea tarts), sumptuous fresh seafood and wonderful pesto in the city where it originated around 400 years ago.&nbsp;
If you’ve never been before it’s time to get to know Genoa.&nbsp;

This city and country in one is also famous for its many festivals including Chingay Parade and the Festival of Fun.&nbsp;

Located on the Yucatán Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, Cancun also has a lively nightlife if you’re looking to let your hair down after all that effortless relaxing during the day. If you’re feeling adventurous, there are many great opportunities for scuba diving and snorkelling in crystal clear, warm waters.&nbsp;
The history of Cancun is also close by in the form of the El Rey ruins and there’s a world heritage site, Chichen Itza, which is another Mayan ruin well worth exploring. It’s best known for the Castillo Pyramid which features 365 steps.&nbsp;
