Cruise calendar 2027

The whole year on one page: where it is in season each month, the public holidays and long weekends in your country, and the date to book by so you can pay for the cruise fully in points.

In short

In winter and early spring 2027 ships head for the sun — the Caribbean, the Canaries and South America; from April to October it is the season in Europe. To pay for a cruise fully in points you need to book 270 days ahead: for summer 2027 that means autumn 2026, and the deadline for August already passes in early November 2026.

                          How to use the calendar

                          • Choose your country and its public holidays appear in the calendar. “Long weekend” means the holiday falls on a Monday or Friday; “bridge day possible” means a Tuesday or Thursday.
                          • Look at “Best time” for the regions in season that month. Tap a region to open its guide.
                          • Watch the “book by” date. Book a cruise for that month before it, and you can pay for it fully in points. Deadlines less than 45 days away are marked in yellow.

                          Common questions

                          Where do the “book by” dates come from?

                          They are 270 days before the first day of the month. If you book a cruise 270 days or more before departure, club points can cover up to 100% of the price, provided you have enough points. For a cruise mid-month, the date moves by the same number of days.

                          What if the deadline has passed?

                          You can still book the cruise: at the member price, or with points covering up to 50% of the price. Paying fully in points is only possible when booking 270 days or more ahead.

                          Where do the holidays come from?

                          They are the national public holidays of the chosen country for 2027. School holidays are not included, as they differ by region — check them separately.

                          How do we plan a trip together with a friend?

                          Send the calendar with the WhatsApp or Telegram button — or with “Ask a friend along” in the month you have in mind. Your friend opens the same month and sees the season, the holidays and the booking deadline.

                          Seasons are a summary of cruise line itineraries; other routes also run each month. Holidays are national public holidays, without regional or school holidays. Paying with points follows the club’s rules, which may change. Reislite is an independent information site run by partners, not a website of inCruises.
