October is a great time to go on a cruise. The weather is starting to cool down, so you avoid the hot and humid summer months. And, because the peak of hurricane season has passed, you can be more confident that a storm won’t impact your cruise ship.

Every year, between April and October (the Alaska cruise season), nearly 1.3 million choose to cruise Alaska. That’s nearly twice as many visitors to Alaska as the locals who live there. I have been one of those cruisers three different times.

You may be stopping in Lima, Peru, on your way to Aguas Calientes and the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, or as many travelers do, arriving on one of the many cruise ships that overnight in the port of Callao (Lima, Peru) each year. Lima is not usually a city most would choose as a tourist destination. There are a lot of misconceptions about the Peruvian capital.
But this capital city also has a lot of history and beauty, and you can find this in just 1 day in Lima, Peru.

Ketchikan is bound to be one of your ports when taking an Alaska cruise along the inside passage. This beautiful city is known for its totem poles, rainforests, and wildlife.
But be smart and plan ahead. The cruise season in Alaska runs from April to October; during this time, the cruise lines can have as many as eight ships in the port of Ketchikan.

The Galapagos Islands, a protected and unspoiled archipelago, is a far cry from touristy. Most individuals who visit aren’t first-time travelers. However, it’s likely their first-timers to a destination this remote. It certainly was for DH and me, so we chose a 7 day Galapagos Cruise for our visit.
