Virginia experiences a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Summer is warm and humid, a popular but expensive time for cruises. Fall offers cooler, pleasant weather and beautiful foliage, making it a good shoulder season for travel. Winter can be cold, but offers opportunities for off-peak deals if you don't mind the weather. Spring sees a gradual warming and blooming, another excellent shoulder season for finding value. To secure the cheapest cruises, aim for the shoulder seasons like April-May or September-October.
