Holidays in April

We travel to a range of destinations in April, including:

• The Canary Islands
• The Mediterranean
• Northern Europe
• Norwegian Fjords
• Spain and Portugal
• Western Europe

In April, the northern hemisphere is in bloom; across the Netherlands bright tulips blossom in one of the largest natural gardens in the world. It’s even t-shirt weather in some Mediterranean shores! What’s more – in many of your favourite destinations, April tends to benefit from reduced crowds, giving you more room to roam. Plus, as a result of fewer travellers about, prices on shore are likely to be lower than in other months, too.

By April, winter’s icy chill is thawing in the Norwegian Fjords but it’s not gone completely. With the highest average temperature of the fjords, Olden can reach highs of 13°C and chillier lows of 2°C, with nine days of rainfall for the month. Dropping to lows of 3°C and with eleven days of rain, Haugesund reaches respectable highs of 10°C; Kristiansand has the same highs, and dips to average lows of 1°C and averages eight days of rain for the month of January. Nordfjord and Stavanger experience identical highs of 10°C and lows of 4°C, though the latter experiences two days more rainfall than the former at twelve days total for the month. The coldest of the bunch – though not by much – is Ålesund, with average lows of 3°C and highs of 8°C, plus 12 days of rain.

Over the Easter period, you can travel with us to a number of destinations. Here’s where we normally travel:
