Lane40 Posted February 2, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I am unsure if this has ever been asked in the Asia forum. I did a search but did not see anything. Why are there no cruises offered in the months of June, July or August to China and Japan? I realize Australia and New Zealand are in their winter season at that time. My wife is a teacher, so we will not be able to cruise Asia until she retires. Just a question I have always had and never asked.....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question I have always had and never asked.....thanks Rainy season in South East Asia and Typhoons in Pacific and South China Sea. Check this site for historical weather: http://www.wunderground.com/ Last November we hit 3 Typhoons on the Sapphire Princess in what was supposed to be past the end of the season. We missed 4 ports out of 8. Al :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted February 2, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2008 In Japan, rainy season is June. July and August are just unbearable. With spring and fall being so beautiful here, I can't imagine why anyone would choose to come in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted February 2, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Have you checked with Princess? We did our Bangkok to Beijing cruise in July/Aug. of '06 and had a great time. Yes, it was hot and humid. Yes, we did run afoul of a typhoon, but I wouldn't have traded our itinerary for the world. It was at exactly the right time for us, as, at that time, I was still employed at our local college and could only travel during those two months.

travelsfun Posted February 2, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Viking (and others) offer river cruises in China during June, July and August. We did one in June last year and the weather was hot,but not unbearable. I would not recommend August, 2008 as the Olympics will be held in China then! You might check the "river and canal" forum on this website for more information. Dorothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairywren Posted February 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Check out this website www.starcruises.com . We have cruised 4 times on Gemini and twice on Virgo, both beautiful ships. They sail all year round from various ports in Asia, have a look at the itineraries. We are doing Hong Kong - Singapore this July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
