This is a complex subject, but the answer boils down to "as early as possible". It is not unusual for some cruises to sell out almost a year in advance. The cruise industry has changed dramatically over the last few years. Experienced cruisers knew that you could often wait until the last minute to get a good deal. It was only common sense that the cruise line would rather get "something" for that unfilled berth.

That depends on where you want to go - but it also depends on when the cruise lines go there! If you're looking for a cruise to Alaska in January, you won't find one.

The Alaska cruise season begins in May and ends in September. Any earlier or any later and you'll experience shorter, colder and wetter conditions. Anytime between May and September is a good time to go to Alaska, but there are better times in the season to travel if you have a specific interest or motivation. For example, if you're interested in saving money, then the shoulder seasons of May and September are the best times to go. See similar questions...

Strictly speaking, there is no "best time of year" for a Pénichette Cruise. Each season has its own particular attractions, and the countryside adjoining rivers and canals can always be seen to best advantage. In winter, for instance, you can still appreciate the beauty of the South of France, where the base at Lattes remains open all year round. See similar questions...

The best seasons to take a Yangtze River cruise are spring and autumn. To put it more specific, it is April, May, September and October when the weather is cool and comfortable. These four months are often called high seasons. Despite the factor of weather, the best time is in winter in terms of price. The prices are the lowest for the winter cruises and the highest in high seasons. See similar questions...

Even the most popular ships sometimes have cabins available a few weeks before sailing because of late cancellations.

A good piece of advice would be to book your vacation as early as possible. The rooms that offer a good quality of standards for a fair price are not as many as you'd imagine. Especially if you're planning to visit the island during July or August, it would be hopeless to search for a good deal after the summer has begun. If you're interested in the low or middle season, the possibilities are better, but then again it would be wise to book at least a couple of months before your arrival. See similar questions...
