Christmas vacation ideas include warm weather destinations like the Caribbean and Hawaii, as well as cold weather activities like skiing and snowmobiling. Cruises offer a chance to visit multiple locations. Booking in advance is important.
When the holiday season comes around, many people think about taking a Christmas break. Some people travel to visit family members, but others opt for more exotic or adventurous destinations. For those considering travel during the holidays, Christmas vacation ideas, outside of visiting family members, can include vacations in hot or cold weather destinations.
For those people who constantly brave the frozen tundra in the far north on vacation, getting out of the cold and heading to the beach can be a great idea. A beach holiday offers true rest and relaxation away from the holiday crowds. There are many all-inclusive beach resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico for singles, couples and families that will satisfy a traveler’s every desire and no one will have to cook Christmas dinner.
Some other warm-weather Christmas vacation ideas include trips to Hawaii, the South Pacific, or exploring Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Islands in the South Pacific would mostly fall under the beach vacation category, but Hawaii has plenty of other fun tourist attractions. From hiking to the top of an active volcano to attending a Christmas luau to surfing Oahu’s North Shore, there’s something for anyone looking for a little more adventurous vacation. Exploring the Great Barrier Reef has the same appeal. Visitors can relax on the Gold Coast beaches or head to the Reef to go diving or snorkelling.
For travelers who can’t decide on a location, a great way to try out a few destinations would be to take a cruise. With many cruise lines around the world, there’s an itinerary to almost every place this Christmas. Cruises are an attractive option because travelers can do as much or as little as they like. For thrill-seekers, there are usually all kinds of activities on the ship that allow people to plan their entire day or simply relax with a cold drink on the deck while soaking up the sun.
Some vacation ideas for those who want to see snow or embrace winter include a ski or snowmobile trip. Throughout the Rocky Mountains in the Western United States, the Swiss and French Alps of Europe, and Canada, there are many resorts for all skiers of all skill levels. There are also tour companies that offer snowmobile tours or rentals in the same resorts for those people who need more speed than their skis allow.
Those who don’t really want to bond with nature in the cold may still appreciate a cabin ride to a cold-weather destination. Family time around the table or curling up with loved ones in front of the fireplace while watching the snow through a large picture window can be just as fulfilling. When considering Christmas vacation ideas, the most important thing to remember is that Christmas travelers need to book in advance because the holiday season is a popular travel time around the world.
