There’s nothing that defines summer than that of a Mediterranean cruise in August - sun-drenched landscapes, sparkling seas, and bustling energy and lively atmosphere that radiates throughout the entire region. The climate hot and sunny (perfect for beach lovers, and water sports enthusiasts), and tourist season is at its peak in August, bringing with it an abundance of life, vibrancy, and activity – especially in the way of cultural festivals and events - from open-air concerts and art exhibitions to traditional fiestas and food festivals, there are countless opportunities to enrich your cruise experience.
Noteworthy August events include the La Tomatina Festival in the vicinity of Valencia, Spain, where participants engage in a lively tomato-throwing event; Barcelona's Festa Major de Gràcia, the city's largest and most vibrant celebration; and Dubrovnik's Summer Festival, which honours the arts.
As one of the warmest months in Norway, August offers comfortable temperatures that are ideal for exploring the towering mountains, gleaming waterfalls, and deep green valleys, of the Norwegian Fjords. The breathtaking landscapes and serene waterways almost yearn for outdoor pursuits to be enjoyed, and with the luxury of extended daylight hours, there’s even more reason. While a popular destination for the adventurous, August is also a time for cultural exploration, with many small villages along the fjords hosting festivals and events celebrating Norwegian culture, history, and food. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience local traditions, folk music and dance, and sample regional culinary delights.
A journey through on a Norwegian Fjords cruise in August offers those lucky enough to experience it, an enchanting blend of natural splendour, adventure and relaxation, and cultural enrichment, set against the backdrop of some of the most stunning natural scenery on the planet.
