There's no need to wait for summer to arrive to enjoy a holiday. If the cold British weather is getting you down, winter cruises are the perfect way to chase down the sun during the chillier months of the year. Top of the list of winter cruise destinations is the Caribbean, where mainstream cruise lines such as P&O, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises will take you on a journey around the tropical climate of the beautiful islands that make up this sunbathed part of the world. In addition, for something a little different, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates combine winter sun with fascinating culture. However, if sunbathing isn't your priority, you can stay closer to home and enjoy the festivities around Christmas with winter cruises to Northern Europe. To see the exclusive deals on offer, check out November, December, January and February cruises.
