Summer is coming and the kids are raring to go but are you? Travel is only as fun as what you plan! Consider your kids wants, wishes and dreams and of course, your partner’s before you plan.

Who likes what? Swimming or snorkeling, horseback riding, sun worshiping, tourism,  mountain, museums, cruises what makes the best summer travel for your family? Summer is short and childhood is shorter so every best summer begins with fun!  How will you package your best summer travel? It’s time to get your wanderlust on from cruising to luxury resorts (my favs!)

There are so many destinations but a few are well-known for the smiles they bring to kids and parents alike. Use these best summer travel destinations and tips to lavishly live travel out loud!

Best Summer Travel Destinations and Tips

Yes, this is a sponsored post based on my travel experience and love of destinations! Get ready because you too can experience the best summer family vacation every. Use these destinations to plan your trips!

There are so many kinds of Summer Travel Destinations and tips I could offer, but let’s keep this information quick and contrite. After all, you have a lot of planning to do to make the Best Summer travel plans right?

I personally am a luxury girl and a cruise fanatic, and they have fit my families wish lists to the tee, but every family is different. Use these destinations to create your own family Best Summer package, and you will have a blast!

One thing about travel that I have come to learn is that planning is a must and insight from other’s experiences is tell-tale of what to expect. Let’s travel!

Cruise 

Cruise because there are more options and flexibility built in than any other kind of travel. Unpack once, and see multiple destinations, that’s what dream vacations are made of. Carnival is the premiere cruise line for families and after sailing with them a number of times I considered myself a Carnival Expert!

Cruise begins with ‘C’ for CHEERS to vacation and ends with ‘E’ for EVERYONE has fun. Best Summer vacations aboard a Carnival Cruise Ship are something I can personally attest to. If you want to see teens smile, kids laugh, and parents have a blast, book that Carnival Cruise.

Carnival is a family floating paradise and should make your best summer list! There is food to please every genre and activities, for everybody in the family. Burgers, fries, dining room delight, buffets with Pizza and salads and carving stations, all best summer eats!

How Many Days Do You Want? 

With different varieties of packages from 3 days to 10 days truly there is something to make the best summer travel for everybody and every family.

Destinations Differ 

Destinations unfold as you reach each port of call, in the adventures begin allowing you to explore and learn our world. Where will you go? East Caribbean? Western Caribbean? There are so many other choices as well.

‘Insure‘ Yourself Fun!

Prepare ahead 

Now just because you’re making the best summer you want to back up your best summer plans. You do this with travel insurance. Travel insurance is not just for assisting you in case someone is too ill to travel when the big trip day comes around. Travel insurance is there for if you are traveling and your money is stolen or your luggage.

Skeet shooting, horseback riding, archery, campouts, Conestoga wagon rides, nighttime under the stars, its all Dude Ranch style! If you’re looking for a place to have your family disconnect from tech, and reconnect as a family there is no better place than an old old-fashioned ranch. Starry nights and sing-a-longs are just part of the fun.

Make no mistake the current dude ranches have are loaded with amenities like 5-star dining, world-renowned destinations, and backdrops that will embellish your photography with a simple click of your camera.

You might even sign that your little ones have tears in their eyes when it’s time to leave. If your family once to get out and get into nature without camping this is a great way to travel.

A Disney kind of life

My daughter is a Disney-obsessed girl. She is beyond the little princess age, but, we still go there. Kallie wants to get married in Disney one day, that is her ultimate dream.
The best magical place on Earth is Disney. It’s about in the stall door for the parents and making memories for the kids. The adventure begins the moment You enter the gates.

A Disney trip is a multi-genre trip so grab the grandparents and extended family. Traveling as a group makes it a blast because everyone can team up and enjoy all facets of Disney Life.

Museums

Did you know that museums are a really great way to cover an area that you’re visiting? Often the museums have a history of the local area and can teach you more in a few hours than you could learn just trotting around.

Museums are a top fit family destination no matter where they are. Put a museum on your list at your next stop in you will be wonderfully surprised the interior contents that will fill the history void in your life. They are educational without being too “teachy” !

    The cruise is on top of my summer travel bucketlist. As for Disney, we went to the Hong kong part in November because it’s off peak and cheaper hehe We stayed there for 8 whole days, with 2 days in Disneyland, and it only rained for 1 day. I think that was already pretty great 😀

    I definitely have to read more about Carnival, their 10-day plan brings in a lot of expectations about their services and comfort level. I’m the type of person that enjoys the waters more as time goes by so the idea really sounds enticing. Also, that museum really looks familiar. Is that in New York?

    I have never gone white water rafting, I always worry that I’d fall over and float down the river. I wonder what that experience would be like, hopefully, I can find the courage to try it.

      LOL my biggest fear and total reality and it was a blast all over! You know what, we make it so much more than it is. the experience is so fun, we hit some serious water in our area, and each of us were out in the water at one time or another. Guides are so capable and wonderful and totally refreshing to splash in there: ) don’t be afraid, I promise it’s AWESOME #BestSummer

    I grew up going to Disney World and now it is my husband’s and my favorite vacation destination, too. I would love to try out a dude ranch, though . . . that’s totally different from any vacation I’ve ever done!

    I love these ideas! This summer our family goal is to visit as many museums as possible. Last summer we visited as many hiking trails in our area. I love having one focus for the summer months.

    We’ve already booked our summer vacations, we’ll spend a couple of weeks in Italy by the see, it will be beach, or pool time for us. I would love to take a cruise, but my children are still a bit too young to enjoy it properly.

    These are really good tips and you offer a variety of vacation ideas for everyone. I’ve been on two cruises (The Rock Boat) and I’d love to go on another one. I went to Disney in the 8th grade with my youth group, but only saw a chunk of the park. I really want to go back and properly experience it.

    Great ideas for summer vacations. Going to Disney is always fun and is a dude ranch. My family spent many summer vacations out west and we always had the best time.

    These are some wonderful ideas for Summer travel destination. However, during the time of Summer vacation, it is super crowded at Walt Disney World with the long waiting time for rides and restaurants, plus Florida’s scorching heat that I always try to avoid that time visiting there!

      Well that is why you plan ahead, and make reservations and with your Disney Bands you schedule those most wanted rides, but every trip is about organizing and choosing the RIGHT location for your family. If you are not into that scene then there are so many other choices. We always find one destination we call ALL agree on. #BestSummer

    Those are really nice things to do with kids this summer. My kids love swimming a lot this vacation we are mostly going to the beaches and resorts, do a picnic and do some other activities in the park or maybe in our backyard.

    These are all great ideas! We would all love the cruise, Disney, the ranch and museums. Some of them would love the water. I think my favorite would be both a cruise and a trip to Disney. They both sound so fun and would please the whole family from grandma, me, down to the youngest grandchild.
