The Greek island cruise season runs from March to November. Peak season (June–August) offers the warmest weather at 28–35°C with guaranteed sunshine. Shoulder seasons (April–May and September–October) offer mild temperatures of 20–27°C, fewer crowds, and lower prices — ideal for a Mediterranean cruise experience.
