Embrace the magic of the holidays with a trip to the top holiday destinations in the world. After all, is there a better way to share the holiday season with friends and family than a trip together? Experience the festivities of the famous Christmas markets in Europe, with their twinkling lights, snow-topped cathedrals, classic holiday tunes, and scores of merry bundled-up shoppers. Travelers who are looking for something more tropical can bask in the sunshine on a Caribbean cruise. On the opposite end of the spectrum, holiday Antarctica expeditions take explorers to see the northern lights. No matter what time of year it is, it’s never too early to start planning. Let our Adventure Life travel experts how you want to celebrate the holidays for an unforgettable vacation!
Best Christmas Markets
Vibrant Christmas markets encapsulate the joy, merriment, and spirit of giving during the holiday season. Check out these must-visit markets around the world to get yourself in the holiday spirit this year.
1. Keep an eye out for holiday deals. Although this is peak travel season in many destinations, there are also great deals and discounts celebrating the Yuletide season. 2. Take early or late flights. This is a good way to save money, even during the packed holiday season. Fewer people are on the move during odd hours, so travelers can avoid packed airports and flights by taking early morning or late-night flights. 3. Avoid bringing bulky gifts. Traveling light is always a good idea. If you have to take presents, don’t wrap them as you may be required to unwrap the gifts for security. 4. Embrace local culture. While you may have your own traditions in Christmastime, the beauty of traveling is taking you out of your comfort zone. Make the most of your holiday trip by indulging in local traditions, whether that involves attending a Las Posadas procession in Mexico, making advent calendars in Switzerland, or watching fireworks display in Central America.

I don’t have the words to describe it but the last week has been one of the best I can remember. 6 days of adventure in South East Alaska including trekking through lush rain forest, sitting in silence listening to glaciers calving, up early to see the northern lights, kayaking and stupidly swimming in iceberg frozen waters ! (That actually hurt).
Animal sightings including black and brown bears, Minke and hundreds of Humpack Whales, porpoises, sea lions, mountain goats, harbour seals, bald eagles, salmon and more birds than I can count. Wonderful friends and connections made. A huge shout out to Trevor and his totally amazing crew on the Admiralty Dream whose energy and enthusiasm made this most incredible experience.

Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!
