The verdict is in- six more weeks of winter here in the northeast, but have no fear, spring break is almost here! The cold weather may have you thinking of planning a dream vacation to a warmer destination to escape winter and create a memorable experience. The experts at AAA Travel are also thinking about dream vacations, and have suggestions for all types of trips, especially during spring break.
According to AAA Northeast travel booking data, the most popular destinations for spring 2023:
- Florida theme parks and beach vacations
- European river cruises and Caribbean cruises
- European cities
- Aruba
- Punta Cana
For travelers looking for vacation packages with the best value, AAA travel advisors recommend all-inclusive packages. Anne Lischwe, Travel Sales Manager at AAA Northeast said, “Many travelers will ask if the advertisements are true, and everything is included in all-inclusive travel packages. I love to highlight packages to warm destinations like the Dominican Republic and Mexico where families can escape for a quick getaway. These packages are as low as $348 per person and include kid’s clubs, so there are plenty of fun activities for children and parents can relax. Cruises also include food, drinks, and entertainment! Four-night Caribbean sailings start at $244 per person and seven-night sailing start at $328 per person!”
AAA Travel advisors “top tips” for spring break travelers include:
- Spring in Europe means fewer crowds and a strong dollar – why wait when you can go now!
- For a culture-enriching travel experience with family or a group of friends, check out Club Adventures; these itineraries allow you to experience exotic destinations through a local lens in small groups!
- Who goes to a theme park just once? Whether it’ll be your first time, or it’s an annual family adventure, remember that space is limited now that families are comfortable traveling again, book before it’s too late and use experienced “magic makers”!
- Cruising is back and bigger than ever! Record-breaking sales plus bigger and bigger ships means you can enjoy such activities as Go carts, Waterslides, Roller Coasters, and Ziplining! And there are numerous types of cruises to choose from and allow travelers to experience different cultures and ports of call – while unpacking one time!
- Protect your investment with travel insurance, flight delays and cancellations can come with unexpected expenses. Adding baggage insurance and covering non-refundable expenses is a wise choice.
