Benefits of summer travel

The list of summer-travel perks is endless. But here are just a few of our favorite reasons to see the world between June and September.

Warm weather for exploring

If you’re planning to travel this summer, you can expect weather in the high 70s. If you plan to visit Iceland, it can get up to 68. And if you’re looking at summer vacations to Australia, where it’s their winter, you can expect it to be between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on where you go.

Activities for every interest

One of the best parts of our summer tour packages is that there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re interested in listening to live music, sipping homemade sangria, walking through nature, or feeling nautical on the sea, our summer trips have it all.

More daylight for sightseeing

The sun rises earlier and sets later in the summer, which means longer days for you to explore. With more free time, you’ll truly make the most of your trip.

It also means spending more time outside, so you can see wildlife at Denali National Park , walk along the cliffs of Moher in Ireland , or snorkel with sea turtles in the Galápagos .

It’s the off-season for many countries

Scandinavia , Iceland , and Australia & New Zealand are often considered winter travel destinations. But in the summer, they’re even more special. Summer vacations to more traditional winter destinations mean fewer crowds, lower prices, and more unique experiences.

What our travelers say about their summer trips

Frequently asked questions about summer travel.

Traveling in the summer is great for everyone, with trips to suit any interest. If you’re looking to explore the outdoors, like Denali National Park or Iceland, you’ll love our Adventure tours . If you like learning about history, you’ll love our  trips to Europe . If you're a foodie or enjoy trying different wines, check out our  Food & Wine tours .

There are so many things to experience on our summer trips. Some of our favorite summer activities include:

  • Cruising of the  Galápagos
  • Sipping wine made from rare Albanian grapes in Albania
  • Walking the streets of the  Greek Islands of Paros and Naxos
  • Taking in the  Australian Outback
  • Cruising through  Copenhagen
  • Seeing all the famous sites in  Europe

No matter where you go, a good tip for any summer trip is to bring sunscreen. And pack lots of layers so you’ll never be too hot or too cold. Squeeze a great sun hat and sunglasses into your suitcase and you’ll be good to go.
