October Cruises: Best Cruises in October 2022

October is one of the most underrated months to travel. It’s considered “shoulder season” in many parts of the world, which means you get access to authentic, exclusive experiences in iconic destinations, often avoiding the summer crowds. Celebrity’s October cruises sail to extraordinary destinations like Canada, Japan, and the Western Mediterranean. This fall, you could be witnessing the fall foliage of Canada and New England, watching a Geisha performance in Japan, or tasting wine on the French Riviera.

Japan

Japan makes for an unforgettable fall destination thanks to cooler temperatures and generally fine, dry weather. Witness the majesty of Mt. Fuji, often wearing its cap of snow by now. Explore ancient temples in Kyoto. Take photos of the sweeping views from the top of Mount Hakodate. Admire the fall colors of the woodlands around the Oirase stream in Aomori, and in contrast, enjoy the bright lights, retail opportunities, and exciting cuisine of Tokyo.
