At first glance, February doesn’t exactly scream “travel month”. It’s cold, and there are no fun holidays except Valentine’s Day, which you might not even celebrate. Turns out, that’s exactly what makes February such a great month to travel. When’s a better time to plan a tropical escape than in the heart of winter? When’s more fitting to take an amorous couples getaway, or a solo trip to forget your romantic woes, than over Valentine’s Day? Whether you’re looking to escape the cold, celebrate an occasion, craving an adults only cruise vacation, or just taking advantage of our cruise deals, February cruises are the best way to pass the winter doldrums.

The best places to travel in February
Nothing beats the Caribbean in February. That’s why we offer several luxury cruises to help you escape the winter cold, and sail to some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful ports.
- 7 Day Cruise to Aruba - The Southern Caribbean is calling on this 7-night voyage from San Juan. Visit Aruba, Curaçao, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis, and the unique half-lush, half-desert island of Aruba. True to the voyage’s name, a late stay in Aruba means you can end the day on shore with a sunset cocktail.
- 4 Day Cruise to Bimini - When you’re sitting inside on a cold day daydreaming of summer, chances are you’re daydreaming about Bimini. Virgin Voyages Beach Club at Bimini is a relaxed pool party, complete with DJ sets, beach loungers, pool floaties, and tasty bites and bevs.
- Cruise to St. Kitts - St. Kitts and Nevis is known for its French influences, pristine beaches, and relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy panoramic (and romantic) island views from the railway (an old sugar cane train), go hiking at Mount Liamuiga Volcano, or take a speedboat and snorkeling tour of the island’s coast.
- 4 Day Cruise to Key West - You don’t need a whole week to make epic vacation memories. On this 4-night voyage, you’ll head to Key West and Bimini Beach Club for all the tropical vibes you’ll ever need. And once it’s over, you’ll go home feeling refreshed, relaxed, and most importantly, tan.
- Cruise to Cozumel (Playa del Carmen), Mexico - Playa del Carmen is the destination that has it all: white sand beaches, colorful reefs, a bohemian culture, ancient history, and diverse marine life. The only problem is: will you have enough time to see it all?
