Luxury vacations & travel.

I only need accommodations for part of my trip

Your Luxury Vacation

Vacations are the ultimate escape from the humdrum of everyday. So go all in and head for a luxury vacation destination. Maybe a week in the sublime Sonoran Desert, Southern California, on a Palm Springs luxury vacation : a favorite with the most extravagant travelers. Indulge in its incredible accommodation—from luxury-for-less to full-on five-star fabulous. If your idea of a luxury getaway is more intrepid than indulgent, go for a Galapagos luxury vacation package . This enchanting Ecuadorian archipelago is an adventurer’s dream, with activity in abundance. And when you can tear yourself away from the vivid wildlife, the accommodation is pretty impressive, too.

Book only the best luxury vacations

Choosing your luxury vacation destination is just the start. Elevate your opulent experience by adding all the extras for a grander getaway. When you search with Expedia, find your way to the filters, and check amenities to your heart’s content. Add ocean views, 5-star features, spas, hot tubs, pools...you name it, it's yours! When you’re ready to take the plunge, bundle your airfare, accommodation, and car rental in one to ensure the ultimate luxury of utter convenience.

Top destinations for Luxury Vacations

Get fancy with luxury Caribbean vacations

Finding luxury in the Caribbean is just about as easy as finding water. A luxury vacation here can include state-of-the-art amenities that will put you mere steps away from the beach, all while offering stunning extras like spa treatments, world-class cuisine, and watersport adventures such as sailing, kayaking, and more.

Enjoy luxury vacations in Florida

Luxury vacations in Florida will have you enjoying a taste of the high life by the beach, with emerald waters and white sands just steps away. A proper luxurious accommodation will offer private access to the beach, with some going so far as to provide equipment like surfboards and kayaks for you to enjoy.

Explore the wonders of Italy on a luxury vacation

On a luxury vacation to Italy, you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience. Italian luxury means access to some of the best shopping opportunities in the world. Additionally, you'll find pristine historical sites with guided tours, along with some famous beaches with relaxation and watersports available in equal measure. Of course, luxury is also available in the countryside by vibrant vineyards.

Embark on a luxury vacation to California

A luxury vacation in California can have you feeling like a star. Even when you're not trying to live the high life in Hollywood, you can enjoy world-class beaches and stunning parks from accommodations that offer high-end amenities like private pools and hot tubs. Many California rentals are designed to appeal to wealthy stars, so that's what you can expect to feel like.

Head north for a luxury vacation in Alaska

Journeying to Alaska on a luxury vacation means enjoying all the warmth you need while exploring the cold and fascinating northern land. Luxury accommodations in Alaska feature powerful heating systems as well as equipment to enjoy popular local activities like fishing and hiking. For especially refreshing luxury, be sure to check out local spas and saunas.

Your luxury vacation questions answered

What should i look for when booking a luxury vacation package.

If only the lap of luxury will do, these indulgent vacation packages are for you. Live the high life on pristine private beaches and choose opulent on-site spas or in-room massages. Pick anything designed to make life easy, be that childcare or a swim-up bar.

What are some of the most luxurious vacation spots?

St. Lucia puts the L (and the U) in luxury. Indulge your every whim in a stunning 5* suite with just the whispering winds of the Caribbean Sea for company. If you prefer a social sojourn, no place does bright-light luxury quite like Las Vegas . Think in-room pools, quick access casinos, and restaurant-grade room service.

Can I book a cheap luxury vacation?

If you thought luxury meant enormously expensive, think again. Cheap luxury vacations are just a few clicks away. You could bundle your accommodation, airfare, and car rental to keep prices down. And look to travel outside peak season for luxury trips that won’t break the bank. Whatever you’re looking for, just sort by price to find the best deals on Expedia.

How can I book the perfect luxury family vacation?

For little luxuries the kids will love, look for waterparks, easy beach access, and amazing on-site activities. Check the family-friendly box to find great breaks for the whole clan, and fiddle with the filters to add the likes of kids clubs and free Wi-Fi to your extravagant adventure. For snow babies, Whistler’s First Tracks Lodge boasts hot tubs with snowy mountain views and easy access to the Creekside Gondola. In warmer climes Encore Resort at Reunion in Orlando is slide-tastic and just round the corner from Mickey.

What are some destinations for a luxury vacation in the USA?

With luxury vacations on offer all year round, you can find extravagance every day in the USA. Tantalizing Tahoe City is postcard-perfect come snow or sun, while the natural wonders of Arizona are hard to resist. Of course, we can’t forget New England , where elegant country chateaus and sweeping leafy landscapes are the perfect setting for a luxurious break.

How can I find the best all-inclusive luxury beach vacations?

Check the all-inclusive filter and luxury options abound. Choose to add more magnificent touches too, say a spa, hot tub or ocean view—all discoverable using the amenities filter. Then, with everything booked and paid for together, you won’t have to lift another finger.

How can I find the best deals on luxury vacation packages?

The best deals on luxury vacations usually lie away from peak season. For more affordable indulgence, you could also look for locations less traveled—maybe Myanmar or Belize for luxury off the beaten path.

Can I book a luxury trip with free cancellation and/or flexible dates?

There are few luxuries like freedom and flexibility. Filter by payment option to find all available trips with free cancellation. You can pick from buy now, pay later plans too.

Why should I book my luxury vacation with Expedia?

Our incredible inventory, delightful deals, and flexible filters make it easy to build your dream luxury vacation. ATOL protection, and airfare, accommodation and car rental packages are the icing on the cake.

Featured Cancun Luxury Resorts for Honeymoons

May 2 - May 3

May 1 - May 2

What makes the perfect location for a honeymoon depends your style. Your honeymoon is one trip you want to be truly special, memorable and, most likely, luxurious. And you deserve a bit of luxury after all the craziness of planning and executing the wedding. Nothing kindles romance like being free to relax into elegant surroundings, indulge your passions, and feel as though you're being pampered — perhaps even being waited on, hand and foot! 

This is the one time when you can be king and queen. Enjoy an unforgettable, sumptuous holiday together as newlyweds. Use Hotwire to book the trip that provides you with the biggest luxury of all: being alone with the one you love. And if it happens that your wedding day is scheduled during an off-peak travel season, lucky for you — you'll get low-season travel rates for your honeymoon!

Off-Season Travel

Enjoy the benefits of off-season travel with lower rates on airfare, hotels, and car rentals, and fewer fellow travelers. During peak season, it can be difficult to see the site for the tourists. Often the best time to visit a place is during the low-season for traveling. There will be different considerations for what to pack and activities while visiting, so you'll need to think ahead and plan accordingly. Off-season depends on your destination and it's usually the climate that determines high and low seasons. 

For example, Europe in wintertime doesn't appeal to many travelers and sightseers. But it's a wonderful way to get a feel for the locale and experience what life is like for the local citizens. The great cities of Europe — Paris, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Barcelona — are beautiful and vibrant during the winter months. In Hawaii, the month of May is considered off season because most people visit Hawaii to escape cold weather where they live. So why not visit Hawaii when the weather is still fabulous but the crowds are much smaller? A delightful bonus is that airlines and hotels offer significant discounts to attract travelers during less popular travel seasons. So take advantage of off-season travel rates. Find the best time of year to visit your destination and make your plans today. Hotwire can help you find the deepest discounts available.

Luxury Cruises

"Cheap luxury cruise" might sound like an oxymoron but it isn't — not with the deals you can find on Hotwire. Get on board your own moving island and take a luxury cruise on the high seas. Cruise the seas of the Mediterranean, South Pacific, or the Caribbean. Sail the waters off the coasts of Africa or Asia. Take an adventurous cruise to Alaska or Antarctica. Nothing compares to traveling on a luxury cruise ship. Consider the elegance of the whole affair: the magnificence of the ship itself, the incredible attention to detail, and the exotic ports you'll explore add up to an adventure you won't soon forget. 

It's an experience everyone should have at some point in their lives. Because the luxury cruise price is often all-inclusive, the overall cost can actually turn out to be less than that of a premium cruise. You don't have to pay extra for drinks and activities (all of those individual charges can quickly add up) - it's all paid for in advance and you can simply participate as you want without having to dole out money for every little thing. So, when all is said and done, a luxury cruise might be the more affordable choice. Might, in fact, be a cheap luxury cruise.

Find special discounts through Hotwire and book a luxury cruise at a discount price. Eplore cheap hotel deals in Alaska for your stay.

Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City

It was the best vaycay ever! So very zen with having to focus in the moment on footing, surroundings, other hikers in the vicinity. Amazing group of people with similar ages and abilities. Steve was a perfect guide. He is definitely doing what he was born to do, and doing it very well. Some of the hotels could have been better (breakfast wise) but that wasn't a big deal (not why I went) as we were not there for very long. Courtyard Marriott in SLC was the worst of the lot but otherwise....awesome!!!! So EXCELLENT

Majestic Alaska (10 Days)

I cannot speak highly enough of this tour. Kris, our tour director, as well as our driver Rose and wellness director Tyler, were all friendly, knowledgeable, and excited to share Alaska with us. Kris is such a warm people-person and consistently went over and above to make this tour what it was, including staying up one night and waking those of us on his list who wanted to see the Northern Lights. The itinerary was no doubt well laid out, but Kris added so many special touches to support Alaskan businesses but also to provide us with extra opportunities to connect with local Alaskans and have the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible. September was a perfect time to experience this tour. My travel friend and I would highly recommend this trip.

• €100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

• Mountain Hikes

8 Day Grand Teton & Yellowstone Explorer

It was a great tour. Fantastic scenery and Kirk showed us the lot. We never felt rushed. We made short hikes every day to great view points. We were extremely lucky with the weather.

• In-depth Cultural
• Coach / Bus

Northern California (8 Days)

It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Very enjoyable and fun.

Nature's Best: Alaska

We loved everything except the boat tour out of Seward. The seas were way too rough to go out. It was the final tour of the year on that boat. It should of been cancelled and refunded in full. We received $50 each back because the tour was shortened from 6 hours to 5 hours. I repeat again. Waste of time. I did not take a picture. People were throwing up (plenty of them). Did not see any whales. We were notified the day before that the seas could be rough. Globus should of taken the initiative and cancelled. Did not have a good time at all.

American Parks Trail (Classic, End Denver, 9 Days)

The Tour Director and driver were first class, keeping us both very amused, and very safe. Some of the downsides were due to the weather, at times, which nothing could be done about, so we got on with it. Some of the main downs were due to my naivety, in thinking some facilities (like cash paying taxis from SLC airport; I persuaded a friendly Uber driver to accept cash!) were what I was used to, and that I wouldn't have to re-enter security when changing planes from LHR to SLC, at PHX, even though I was on a connecting, booked, flight, and my baggage had already been labelled for both airports appropriately, at LHR. Altogether, a very good, and memorable holiday, where I visited some parts of the Parks that I visited before, but saw many more, and different sights in them.

Alaska Journey National Geographic Journeys

Good time with lots of riding in the van going to interesting places

Enchanting Canyonlands (Classic, 7 Days)

I wanted to say excellent, but there is room for improvement. The website could be better. It required passport information with no option for "Not applicable." As a U.S. Citizen traveling in the U.S., a passport wasn't needed, but I continued to get reminders to complete my profile. Fortunately, I got an email assuring me I didn't need the passport, but I suggest updating your website. The descriptions of several days said "relaxed start," but most days, we had to be up early enough to be showered, dressed, and have our suitcases ready for pickup by 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. As an east-coaster, that was fine for me because of the time difference, but normally, I wouldn't call that relaxed. The sites were stunning, the optional activities were great, although one that I wanted to do got canceled due to a storm and there was no way to reschedule. The lodging was great at each stop and the provided meals were excellent. Some of the suggested "on-your-own" spot for meals were not so good. The change of lodging plans at the Grand Canyon was disappointing because we didn't get to see the sunrise at the Grand Canyon or the stars late the night before. Sedona, The Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park were all fantastic, and we were blessed with great weather for most of the trip. Everyone should see these wonders of God's creation.

Discover American Canyonlands National Geographic Journeys

It was phenomenal! Sights, hikes, people, food, enhanced our journey.

Spectacular Alaska!

The tour itself was fabulous. Tour guide and driver were both awesome and the sights were majestic. The food however the first few days was lacking.

National Parks Family Journey: Yellowstone and Grand Teton

Best of Yellowstone Tour

Bryce Escalante Inn based Tour

The Big Apple Niagara and Washington DC (8 Days)

Canyon Country featuring Arizona & Utah (Scottsdale, AZ to Las Vegas, NV) (2024)

We started the trip in Phoenix, just as the US was beginning to adjust to the effects of the Corona Virus. For the first few days, the main indication of the problem was decreased attendance at the national parks we visited. But by the next to last day of the tour, we had to cut the trip short because Las Vegas was effectively closed. The bus driver and the tour director were excellent, making sure that we stayed safe as the outside world started to collapse. A special thank you to the last hotel we stayed in (the Majestic View Lodge in Springdale Utah). The manager, head chef, and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to feed us even though just about everything around was closing.

What people love about Luxury Tours in USA

Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. It was a good group

It was an awesome tour. Saw and did so much. I would recommend Trafalgar to tour with. We are booked next year for The Colorful Trails of the SW in September. I want to say our tour director,Tyler Browning, is one of the best guides we have had. He is personable, friendly, caring, very knowledgeable and on top of everything. He is GREAT!

The area was beautiful. Accommodations were excellent and the tour guide was superb. She knew the history of the area and people and modified the tour to make it the best possible for our group. Can’t say enough about her. She put our tour over the top.

13 Luxury Vacations That Are Surprisingly Affordable

These luxury vacations offer incredible experiences and five-star amenities without breaking the bank.

Planning a vacation is never an easy task, especially when it's time to talk about budget. But luxury vacations don't actually need to break the bank. We think it's time for you to take the trip of a lifetime without spending your life savings, so we've found 13 vacation ideas that will leave you in awe of the trip and the price.

Stay in a French Castle for $88

While some Airbnb listings — like Kylie Jenner's $50-million rental in Turks and Caicos — are only for the very wealthy, the hospitality industry also has hidden gems for the more budget-conscious traveler. Jet off to France and live out your royal dreams staying in a three-bedroom castle with a pool for as little as $88/night.

Go Glamping for Under $50 a Night

Stylish glamping stays from tents to private chalets are available at a range of price points, with several options under $100 a night — there are even eco-bungalows in Mexico's Akumal from $47 a night .

Find Your Joie De Vivre in Paris for Under $200 a Night

Experience the fabulous life of a French local with Paris Perfect . The vacation rental agency provides accommodation options at some of the most unreal apartments in the City of Lights with rates from less than $200 a night. You can even filter by apartments with an Eiffel Tower view, which start at $335 a night. Plus, since you'll have a kitchen, you can even save more by cooking some meals at home.

Fly Private at Economy Prices

A ticket through JSX , a semi private-flight experience at (almost) commercial airline prices, gives you access to a private terminal, where you can go from parking to takeoff in 15 minutes. No more being stressed out about getting to the airport early, waiting in long lines, or squeezing into a coach seat. The catch: Flights are only available between a few cities, including many on the West Coast and in Texas as well as Miami, Florida, and Westchester County, New York.

Spring for A Cheap and Chic Colombian Getaway

Colombia's port city of Cartagena seems to be on everyone's travel bucket list these days. Make that dream trip a reality with an affordable booking at Oz Hotel , a chic spot with nightly rates starting at $39 a night. It's located near the beach and also has a rooftop terrace with city views.

Stay in Dar es Salaam Instead of Zanzibar Resorts

Tourists — especially newlyweds — are quick to head to resorts in Zanzibar, Tanzania. While there's no denying the quality of these expensive seaside accommodations, don't forget that it's possible to have a similar luxury beach experience on the Tanzanian mainland for a much more affordable price. The Ramada by Wyndham in Dar es Salaam — with rooms from $147 a night — is located along the shores of Jangwani beach. It's a budget-friendly way to enjoy the waves of the Indian Ocean while taking in the nearby city center. The hotel also offers airport shuttles and late checkout .

Live It Up in New York City

Instead of squeezing yourself into Manhattan for an average, over-priced hotel room, venture out into Brooklyn for equally trendy neighborhoods — here's looking at you, Bushwick and Williamsburg — for much more affordable rates.

Book a Taste of Thailand

Opt for a stress-free yet unforgettable getaway to Southeast Asia on this Friendly Planet vacation across Thailand, a 10-day trip that will only set you back $1,849 a person. With roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, and visits to some of the country's most historic attractions (such as Ayutthaya, an ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site) included, this deal is hard to pass up.

Stay at a Five-star Resort on the Amalfi Coast for Less Than $300 a Night

This five-star beauty is elegant and historic. What used to be a 13th-century monastery has been converted into an Amalfi Coast hotel with some of the most spectacular views around. Almost all of the rooms look out to sea, and even though it's perched high up a cliff, it's only a five-minute walk to the harbor and city center. There's also a majestic Catholic church at the hotel for those looking to tie the knot. Rates start at $274 a night if you book direct, though you may be able to score an even lower deal on sites like Expedia.

Book a Standalone Casita in Mexico With Private Pool Views

A stay at one of the oceanside suites at Hotel Las Brisas in Acapulco, Mexico, is your chance to truly treat yourself without breaking the bank. Starting at $157 a night, you can book a casita with a private pool overlooking incredible views.

Stay in a Cabana on the Beach in Tulum for $200 a Night

Stunning accommodations and private beach access make Ahau Tulum worth visiting. Depending on the time of year, you could book a stay in one of the charming Bali Huts starting at $200 a night.

Relax on the Siem Reap River in Cambodia

Breathe easy with a stay at this intimate 36-room, five-star hotel alongside the Siem Reap River in Cambodia. All of the rooms at Jaya House River Park have either balcony views or direct garden or pool access, and it's just a short ride to Angkor Wat. Nightly room rates start around $109 a night, depending on the season.

Fall in Love With Franschhoek, South Africa

Jess Macdonald/Travel + Leisure

The sunny vineyards of Franschhoek, South Africa are a wine-lover's paradise, and planning a trip during the low season will help you score hotels at unbelievably low prices. As an example, check out the Franschhoek Boutique Hotel , which starts at $100 a night and is situated a few steps from one of the trolley stops that conveniently connects you to various wineries in the area.

No matter the destination, Travel + Leisure GO can turn your vacation dreams into reality with nearly endless reservation options to fly or stay near or far.

Italy - Private Travel

In Italy, art and life are the same thing. With more cultural sites than anywhere else, Italy is a trove of fascinating treasures, from the canals of Venice to the cobblestone streets of Palermo.

A trove of fascinating treasures from the canals of Venice to the cobblestone streets of Palermo.

Italy’s nickname, Bel Paese “Beautiful Country,” is supremely apt. The scenery from the Alps to the Mediterranean Sea delivers a varied tableau – mountains and lakes, volcanos and caves, rolling countryside, and sandy beaches. You simply have to determine the spots that seem to call your name. The international influence of Italy’s extraordinary gastronomy and its inspiring fashion is infused into the social and cultural fabric of the entire world. And the way the people appreciate the finer things in life couldn’t make a luxury vacation here more appealing.

5 secrets to getting a luxury cruise for less

Editor's Note

Luxury cruises range in price from expensive to outrageously expensive. But the value of high-end ships is clear: For the money, you get more fare inclusions, nicer accommodations, upscale dining and higher space-to-passenger and crew-to-passenger ratios than on big, mass-market ships.

Still, sometimes you want the luxe for less.

You'll never find a cheap luxury cruise, but you can find sailings that are less expensive than others (either when sorting by the total cost or the per-night rate). You might have to compromise on sail dates or take a risk with the weather, but you can get great value by choosing the cruise less traveled.

Here are the five most affordable luxury cruises we could find so you can save a little bit when you sail in style.

Fall Caribbean cruises

Caribbean cruises might be the bread and butter of mass-market cruise lines, but they don't have the same prominence among the itineraries of the luxury lines. Tropical cruises on luxury lines tend to be shorter sailings, taking place in the fall and winter (rather than year-round) and often targeting younger professionals who might not have the time to take two-week vacations.

Combine those factors with a shoulder-season fall travel date (between mid-September and the week before Christmas), and you have yourself a more affordable luxury cruise.

For example, Regent Seven Seas Cruises ' 2024-2025 Caribbean season runs from November through March. The least expensive sailing for the season takes place in early December in the travel lull between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fares start at $4,299 per person for a weeklong round-trip cruise from Miami. A similar seven-night sailing costs $4,999 ($700 more) in February.

Shoulder-season Alaska cruises

No matter which cruise line you sail, it's a truth universally acknowledged that the first and last Alaska sailings of the season are the most affordable. Why? Timing and weather.

The Alaska cruise season begins in late April or May and runs through September and occasionally October. These travel dates are often nonstarters for families who wait for the summer school break to take their vacations. Even travelers not bound by school schedules sometimes shy away from these cruises because of the imperfect weather conditions.

In May, temperatures can still be chilly in Alaska, waterways in glacier areas can be clogged with ice, Alaska's famous salmon haven't started to run and bus service at Alaska's famed Denali National Park hasn't yet begun. In September and October, the temperatures start dropping — and the rain keeps falling — and attractions such as Denali begin to close.

All that said, if you're willing to take a risk on the weather and aren't planning a land tour up to Denali, you can score a deal on a high-end Alaska sailing during these off-peak times.

In 2025, a September Alaska cruise on Silversea starts at $4,500 per person on Silver Moon. The same cruise in July starts at $5,900, making the shoulder-season cruise $1,400 less expensive. Even better, May is less rainy than July, so you could experience sunnier days on the more affordable sailing.

Transatlantic crossings

Many travelers choose their cruise for the ports of call. Cruisers are drawn to the destinations, whether they're checking exotic ports off their bucket list or love spending time on the beach. It's no surprise, then, that longer-than-average itineraries with few to no port calls are not warmly embraced by many cruise fans (except for devoted sea-day lovers).

Because many cruise ships regularly reposition between Europe (where they spend the summer) and the Caribbean (where they spend the winter), transatlantic crossings are inevitable. To attract guests, the cruise lines add interesting onboard activities and guest lecturers to the voyage, and they lower prices. If you love relaxing sea days and would revel in spending day after day in the middle of the ocean, an ocean crossing is a surefire way to get a luxury cruise experience for less.

Small, all-inclusive line SeaDream is a solid example of how affordable transatlantic sailings can get. In 2025, SeaDream 1 will sail its last Mediterranean cruise of the season from Barcelona to Malaga, Spain, and cruise prices start at $6,799 for an eight-night cruise. The ship then sails from Malaga across the Atlantic to San Juan, Puerto Rico. That 13-night sailing is five nights longer than the preceding cruise, but its starting price is $3,799 — a $3,000 difference.

Entry-level cabins

As a traveler chasing luxury, you're all about the upgrade. To get a great price on a high-end cruise ship, you might want to reconsider your aversion to booking the cheapest rooms.

Entry-level suites on the nicest ships are not the windowless closets you'll find on some of the mass-market ships. They're spacious cabins with either windows or private balconies and separate sleeping and sitting areas; many have nicely appointed, reasonably sized bathrooms and often walk-in or large closets. You'll get the same personal service, have access to the same gourmet dining and can enjoy the same ship amenities (a spa, a serene pool deck, social lounges and more) as folks in the top suites.

Also, you'll pay less. For example, an entry-level suite on luxury line Seabourn 's Seabourn Encore is a veranda suite measuring 246 to 302 square feet with a 68- to 83-square-foot private balcony. On a seven-night Greece and Turkey cruise departing in June 2025, prices for these rooms start at $5,499 per person. Opt for the next suite level up — a 450-square-foot penthouse suite with a 93- to 103-square-foot balcony — and prices start at $9,299. That's an increase of $3,800, all for a suite you won't spend much time in on this port-intensive itinerary.

Suite enclaves on big ships

Several big-ship cruise lines have entered the luxury travel space with suite enclaves that come with extra amenities, and the options can be affordable by luxury standards. These cruises are ideal for families looking for upscale accommodations combined with robust children's programming or luxury travelers who prefer a more casual vibe or a wealth of entertainment and activity options on board.

Options include Norwegian Cruise Line 's The Haven, Royal Caribbean 's Royal Suite Class and MSC Cruises ' Yacht Club. Travelers who book these suites get VIP treatment compared to their shipmates. They have access to exclusive restaurants, lounges and sun decks; get priority boarding and theater seating; and might even receive more fare inclusions such as drink packages, internet access, gratuities and butler service (depending on the category booked).

Cruise fares in these top suites aren't cheap, but they can be comparatively affordable in two ways. First, Royal Caribbean, MSC and Norwegian cruise ships typically sail shorter itineraries than true luxury lines, so you could book a short cruise to spend less on your total vacation cost. Second, while prices are comparable to the luxury lines and can skyrocket when ships start to sell out, you can sail in the ship's top suites for what you'd pay for midlevel on a luxury ship.

For example, you can book an aft-facing penthouse with a large balcony (619 to 668 square feet with a 199- to 248-square-foot balcony) on a seven-night Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Encore for $4,426 per person (including fees) on a February 2026 sailing. It comes with all of NCL's Free at Sea inclusions (drinks, dining, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credit), as well as the services of a butler and concierge, and access to The Haven's private lounge, restaurant and sun deck.

A weeklong Regent Seven Seas cruise to the Caribbean in February costs $10,349 per person for a 655-square-foot Grandeur Suite (with a 166- to 263-square-foot balcony). The cheapest veranda suite on that sailing starts at $4,999 per person — still more expensive than a suite in Norwegian's The Haven.

Bottom line

A luxury cruise will never be cheap, but you can find ways to spend less when you travel on high-end ships. Booking early and taking advantage of limited-time promotions will also help you save when you sail in style.

7 of the best all-inclusive experiences to book this year, from a travel planner

• As a travel planner, my clients seem to be increasingly interested in all-inclusive trips .
• Some of my favorite luxury resorts are in Costa Rica, the Maldives, and Isla Mujeres.
• Cruises, group tours, and adults-only lodgings can also come with all-inclusive options. 

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels , I know vacations are expensive — especially if you're looking to go somewhere this summer . But all-inclusive travel is often a great way to get the most value out of a luxury experience.

I've been on several all-inclusive vacations with my family, friends, and work, and I've helped other people book them in destinations around the world .

Here are some of the best all-inclusive experiences I'm recommending to my clients this year.

Try a split-stay vacation to see the best of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is one of the most sought-after vacations , and for good reason. It's great for both relaxation and adventure.

I recommend booking a split stay, starting at an all-inclusive resort in Guanacaste near the beach for some fun in the sun and moving to a resort near the famous Arenal Volcano for a jungle adventure.

Some of my favorite resorts in Costa Rica are the Westin Reserva Conchal and the Dreams Las Mareas. And if you're looking for an even more unique experience, check out the glorious swim-out suites with private pools at Dreams.

Baglioni Maldives is one of my favorite all-inclusive resorts.

The Maldives, a remote set of islands in the Indian Ocean, offers a plethora of resort options for couples and families, but Baglioni Maldives is my favorite.

For many in the US, getting to the islands can be daunting — there are very few direct commercial flights, and it can take almost an entire day. But it's hard to beat the country's luxury accommodations and gorgeous landscape.

The Maldives also has some of the most beautiful marine life and coveted spots for snorkeling and scuba diving.

No matter where you go, overwater bungalows are the ultimate all-inclusive splurge.

Overwater bungalows — villas standing on poles over open ocean water — are prevalent at all-inclusive resorts in destinations like the Maldives, Fiji, and Bali.

But I've also come across the luxurious accommodations at select adults-only Sandals Resorts throughout the Caribbean.

I think having a private villa on the water is the perfect way to unwind and relax.

Adults-only vacations are on the rise.

Traveling with kids can be a blast, but I also think it's important for adults to take a much-needed break on their own.

Adults-only resorts have been a total respite for me and my husband after hectic months of juggling work with our kids' school and sports schedules.

If you're looking to unwind with a partner, relax on a girls' trip, or even connect with your adult children, there are countless adults-only, all-inclusive resorts to choose from, depending on where you're looking to visit.

Some properties, including Sandals and Beaches Resorts, also offer butler service. Designated staff members can help with anything from room requests and dining reservations to cabana rentals and transportation coordination.

I upgraded to the service at my favorite adults-only spot, Le Blanc Los Cabos, and I felt totally pampered.

Isla Mujeres is pure luxury.

Isla Mujeres, a small island off the coast of Cancún, is known for its crystal-clear, turquoise water and peaceful vibe. It's also home to Playa Norte, one of the best beaches in Mexico .

Impressions Isla Mujeres by Secrets is a gorgeous all-inclusive resort on the island. It offers luxury at its finest, but with only 125 rooms, it has a boutique feel.

One of my favorite features of the resort is the waterslide that leads right into the beautiful ocean.

There are plenty of all-inclusive packages at sea.

Cruising is one of the most popular vacations , whether it's an epic adventure on a Royal Caribbean Cruise, a couples-only journey on Virgin Voyages, or a regal tour of Europe on Viking River Cruises.

Although cruises aren't traditionally considered all-inclusive, with the right booking, they can have the same feel as a luxury resort.

Most cruise bookings include food, nonalcoholic drinks, and live entertainment. If you add beverage packages and excursions in advance, your trip should be fully paid for before you depart.

Book a small-group or private tour if you're looking for adventure.

Group travel is a great way to explore new places while soaking up culture and history.

Popular destinations include Italy, Japan, Costa Rica, and Alaska, and many travel companies take care of everything for you, essentially making it all-inclusive.

I like Adventures by Disney , which offers small-group travel all over the world facilitated by seasoned guides. All the trip details are taken care of, including experiences, food, lodging, and transportation.

Additionally, Kensington Tours offers luxury private travel where every facet of the trip is meticulously planned for you.

Get off the grid in glamour and comfort.

The Best Glamping Resorts in the U.S.

Glamping resorts offer both adventure and luxury.

If you're enticed by the idea of camping but don't want to deal with the inevitable grunt work that comes with it, glamping (or glamorous camping) is the perfect compromise. Read on to discover the most unique glamping resorts in California, Florida, Tennessee and other destinations across the U.S.

The Resort at Paws Up: Greenough, Montana

Courtesy of The Resort at Paws Up

There's glamping, and then there's glamping at The Resort at Paws Up . One of the pioneers of modern-day glamping, The Resort at Paws Up offers six exclusive glamping camps (with prices to match), each one offering a different experience. Solo travelers and couples will love the two-story Tree Haus at the resort's adults-only retreat, called the green o. North Bank Camp – with three-bedroom, two-bathroom tents – is ideal for large families. You can book an individual tent or, if traveling with extended family and/or friends, even an entire camp. Guests can even bring along a furry friend, as this resort is dog-friendly.

Glamping guests enjoy a dedicated camping butler and, because this is an all-inclusive resort , three gourmet meals with alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages daily. Select activities such as mountain biking and snow tubing are covered in nightly rates. For additional fees you can also take advantage of the many unique guided activities and excursions you don't find at most resorts, from snowmobiling to hot air balloon rides. On-site transportation and shuttle service to and from Missoula Montana Airport, about 35 miles away, are also included in your stay.

While the lodging and amenities make Paws Up one of the best glamping resorts in the U.S., it's the staff members who have earned this resort rave reviews from previous guests. The Resort at Paws Up offers glamping mid-May through mid-October, while the green o is available for stays year-round.

Address: 40060 Paws Up Road, Greenough, MT 59823

As KOA's first foray into glamping, Terramor Outdoor Resort offers luxury tent accommodations near Acadia National Park in Maine. All tents feature electricity, Wi-Fi, portable heaters and coolers plus other convenient amenities, though the types vary in capacity from two up to five guests and whether they have a bathroom. This family-friendly resort features an abundance of amenities that travelers love, including a pool and hot tub, lawn games, live entertainment, evening campfires, stargazing lectures, and an on-site restaurant and bar where guests can enjoy craft cocktails and regionally sourced beers. Pets are also welcome at Terramor, especially in the on-site dog park.

Terramor is a designated stop for the Island Explorer, a free shuttle service that transports visitors to Acadia National Park, downtown Bar Harbor and other areas of interest on Mount Desert Island. The Island Explorer operates seasonally, from mid-June to mid-October.

Backland: Williams, Arizona

Courtesy of Backland

Opened in 2022, Backland is a remote resort with four glamping options: Backland Suite, Grand Suite, Sky Suite and Grand Sky Suite. The latter two feature a view of the stars from a 16-foot skylight over the bed, but all four are fitted with panoramic windows for breathtaking views of the Arizona wilderness. These luxury tents accommodate up to either four or six guests, plus no more than two pets. Each features king-sized beds, a full en suite bathroom with a shower, luxury linens, electricity, automatic climate control, an outdoor patio, a coffee maker, a minifridge, housekeeping services and some toiletries.

Backland purposefully doesn't offer Wi-Fi in the tents – only at reception – as guests are encouraged to unplug during their stay. Instead of doomscrolling on social media, you can enjoy bird-watching, stargazing and roasting s'mores over a campfire. There's also a tented spa, a restaurant and a pond with a beach. Glampers at this resort say they appreciate the cozy accommodations and peaceful atmosphere.

Backland is located less than 15 miles from downtown Williams, Arizona, close to some of the best places to visit in Arizona , including Flagstaff (about 40 miles away), Grand Canyon National Park (less than 60 miles) and Sedona , which is a roughly 60-mile drive from the resort.

Klarhet, which means "clarity" in Swedish, aims to bring just that to its glamping guests. The intimate property is located on the shores of Lake Superior and surrounded by a regenerative food forest, where an assortment of edible plants and animals attempts to mimic natural ecosystems – and where guests are invited to take a tour.

Klarhet offers just four domes – Raidho, Dagaz, Laguz and Berkanan – which all bring the outdoors inside with stellar views of the night sky and lush greenery. Each dome is equipped with king- and queen-sized beds; sustainably sourced cotton bedding; a large fan; a toilet; a custom rainfall shower; Public Goods bath amenities; Turkish bath linens, bathrobes and slippers; and a yoga mat.

Recent guests praise everything about Klarhet, from the accommodations to the staff.

The Sunshine State is synonymous with theme parks and beaches , so you might be surprised to learn you can also go glamping in Florida.

Resort activities, including VIP tickets to the rodeo, are covered in rates for glamping guests staying in one of the two luxe accommodations, making the experience nearly all-inclusive.

Nestled beside the Gallatin Mountains, Bodhi Farms allows travelers to sustainably and authentically experience the beauty of Montana through immersive activities and amenities. The warmer months boast creekside yoga and spa services, farming projects such as gardening and caring for livestock, a wood-fired sauna, nightly campfires, and fly fishing both on- and off-site.

Its glamping units bring wood floors and chandeliers into a canvas tent, with each offering an outdoor bathtub, a fire pit, a table and chairs, a small fridge and coffee maker, and sleeping accommodations for two.

When you're not white-knuckling the roller coasters at Silver Dollar City (considered one of the best amusement parks in the U.S. ) or uncovering history at the Titanic Museum Attraction, take time to enjoy the resort's activities such as golfing, hiking, or boating and fishing on the lake. Other amenities include pools and hot tubs, a fitness center, and a canteen with grab-and-go bites and beverages. Previous guests rave about the setting and conveniences of glamping at this resort.

Alila Ventana Big Sur: Big Sur, California

Courtesy of Ventana Big Sur, An Alila Resort

There are few destinations in California that offer luxury in a place where you would otherwise have to rough it. In Big Sur , a region that is only accessible via one road and doesn't always offer electricity, travelers will find a limited selection of five-star accommodations – among them Alila Ventana Big Sur .

The resort offers safari-style tents in a 20-acre redwood canyon, all equipped with plush beds, electric lamps, instant hot and cold potable water with sinks, and power outlets with USB ports. Glampers can also make use of amenities for enjoying the outdoors, such as Adirondack chairs, wood-burning fire pits and picnic tables. Restrooms and showers are available at a shared, well-maintained bathhouse.

Glamping guests can purchase the Spa Alila Day Pass, which includes one 50-minute massage or facial, one poolside entree and one nonalcoholic beverage, plus full access to the meadow pool, infinity hot tub and sauna. You also have the option to enjoy fine dining at The Sur House on-site. Some parts of the Alila Ventana Big Sur grounds are reserved for resort guests only, so glampers will not have access to certain facilities.

Address: 48123 California state Route 1, Big Sur, CA 93920

Treebones Resort: Big Sur, California

Courtesy of Kodiak Greenwood

If you want to glamp in Big Sur, you might also consider Treebones Resort, which offers yurts with king beds and modern furnishings, as well as accommodations you're not likely to find elsewhere. The Autonomous Camp Collection's twin units, which can best be described as a full apartment fit into a tent, take glamping to the next level; this solar-powered, upscale option is complete with a bedroom, en suite bathroom, lounge area and outdoor deck. For a more rustic but no less unique stay, the Human Nest campsite is exactly what it sounds like – meaning you'll need to bring your own bedding and tent for protection from the elements when you sleep on the futon pad inside this wood art.

Something else Treebones Resort has that you don't find at most glamping resorts? Sushi. The Wild Coast Sushi Bar features an omakase dining experience in which patrons sit face to face with the chef, who uses their reactions to craft the 14-course tasting menu. Previous guests say it's an absolute must when staying here. You can also dine at The Lodge Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and a three-course dinner.

Other on-site amenities include a massage studio and yoga. The rugged coastline views at Treebones Resort rival many in the area, and glampers may also choose to explore the beauty of Big Sur through guided excursions.

Under Canvas: Multiple Locations

Bailey Made | Courtesy of Under Canvas

First-time glampers should consider Under Canvas, which offers a dozen glamping locations nationwide – including its newest outpost in Paradise Valley, Montana, near Yellowstone National Park.

Guests in the safari-style tents enjoy king-sized beds, wood-burning stoves, West Elm patio furnishings, and en suite bathrooms with organic bath products and hot running water. On-site cafe-style dining (including locally sourced ingredients) is available in addition to complimentary camp programming that spans yoga, guided hikes, live acoustic music, fireside chats and s'mores.

Other amenities vary by location. At Under Canvas West Yellowstone, there's a coffee bar and an event space just for kids, while at the Grand Canyon site, guests can sip cocktails at an outdoor bar. Under Canvas operates seasonally, with dates varying for each site.

ULUM Moab: Moab, Utah

Courtesy of Sinya on Lone Man Creek

Experience the beauty – and the award-winning wineries – of Texas Hill Country at Sinya on Lone Man Creek, a property inspired by a trip to Tanzania and named after a baby elephant in Kenya. This glamping retreat is situated atop a ridge, making you feel as if you're in a treehouse overlooking the beautiful surrounding greenery and Lone Man Creek. The creek's name aptly sets the scene for this exclusive experience, since the property consists of only one tent – but it can accommodate two guests, so there's no need to be truly "lone" if you don't wish to be.

This singular tent is decked out in beautiful country-style furnishings and outfitted with a king-sized bed (not to mention goose-down pillows), a Nespresso coffee maker, a sofa, a kitchenette and a bathroom, which features a claw-foot tub, bathrobes and Turkish towels.

Courtesy of The Ranch at Rock Creek

This five-star dude ranch in western Montana, frequently lauded for providing one-of-a-kind travel experiences, also specializes in glamping. Like the rest of its property and offerings, The Ranch at Rock Creek takes its glamping to the next level.

Glamping accommodations start at nearly 800 square feet and are part-tent, part-cabin. With 10 such dwellings in four different styles – some of which are open year-round – options for amenities vary. Inside these "canvas cabins," you'll typically find spacious bedrooms, additional living areas, gas stoves, attached bathrooms, and outdoor spaces such as porches or decks. Guests can also sleep in a Conestoga wagon with a king bed and twin bunks.

What's more, glamping accommodations qualify for the resort's all-inclusive rate, which covers farm-to-table meals, drinks, transportation on the ranch and airport transfers, as well as resort activities like horseback riding and archery. Peak season at this property spans late May to early September, but the property is open year-round. The Ranch at Rock Creek exceeds expectations, according to previous guests.

These igloos feature cozy beds, Wi-Fi access, private bathrooms with showers and hairdryers, free toiletries, and skylights so guests can fall asleep admiring the aurora borealis when visible.

Not surprisingly, recent guests say staying at Borealis Basecamp was one of the most unique experiences they've ever had.

Little Raccoon Key: Jekyll Island, Georgia

Courtesy of Little Raccoon Key

Little Raccoon Key – a small, uninhabited island accessible by a short boat ride from Georgia 's Jekyll Island – stands out from most other glamping destinations in the U.S. for one reason: There's just one campsite available. Not only will you have the entire reef island to yourself, but you'll be pampered by staff from start to finish. In addition to your private-island accommodations and the short boat tour there that often passes dolphins, you can request chef-prepared meals, pre-arrival grocery delivery and a lesson on oyster reefs around the island at no extra cost.

Your campsite features most necessities, such as a luxury canvas tent, a memory foam mattress, a gas grill, a stove, a kettle, other cooking supplies, and an outdoor shower and toilet. You can also take advantage of the Adirondack chairs, board games and books. While Little Raccoon Key provides a cooler for ice, it's recommended to bring your own so you can store several days' worth of food, since there's no refrigerator. You also won't find running water or air conditioning at this solar-powered island camp, but you'll be provided with a battery-powered fan. Note that Little Raccoon Key requires a two-night minimum stay.

Address: 1 Harbor Road, Suite No. 1, Jekyll Island, GA 31527

Firelight Camps: Ithaca, New York

Experience the natural beauty of upstate New York with a stay at Firelight Camps. This glamping site enjoys a scenic location in a wooded area that's not only minutes away from local state parks including Buttermilk Falls but also less than 4 miles south of Ithaca's popular Collegetown neighborhood, making this particular destination easier to reach than most.

Canvas drapes the natural wood beams of the tents, which come with either one king bed or two queens. Tents also feature hardwood floors, a private tented balcony complete with rocking chairs, lanterns with USB ports, and a writers desk and chair. Upgraded tents come with electricity, though it's important to note that none have private bathrooms; instead, there's a shared bathhouse with eco-friendly products.

Courtesy of Huttopia

What started as a small campsite in the French Alps in 1999 has since expanded to more than 60 locations across three continents, including five U.S. sites in California, upstate New York, southern Maine and New Hampshire's White Mountains. Huttopia's goal is to provide travelers with comforts that go above traditional camping but aren't so comfortable that you'll stay in your tent rather than explore the beautiful surroundings of its properties.

All tents and cabins offer plush beds and electricity, while some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes or kitchens, and decks. Shared bathhouses are available to guests who don't have private toilets and showers. The company's newest U.S. location, Huttopia Wine Country, opened in 2023 in partnership with Northern California's Six Sigma Ranch and Winery. Overlooking the region's rolling vineyard hills, it features a swimming pool as well as French camping cuisine – from espresso to crepes to brick-oven pizza – at its on-site Café-Bistro.

AutoCamp: Multiple Locations

Matt Kisiday | Courtesy of AutoCamp

If your idea of glamping is spending the night in an RV – but you don't have the budget or patience to buy one – it's time to explore AutoCamp. This glamping resort company specializes in Airstream accommodations, with six locations (and counting) ranging from national parks to beaches. Airstream amenities vary slightly by location, but you can expect plush beds (including dog beds upon request), spa-inspired bathrooms, heating and air conditioning, basic cookware, and fire pits with grills.

Families love the BaseCamp Mini Suites – an Airstream with an adjacent tent for kids – available seasonally at select resorts; another unique lodging option at some sites is the BaseCamp Suite, which is part-Airstream, part-tent. All locations offer traditional standalone glamping tents as well as accessible accommodation options.

Like the accommodations, some of the on-site programming varies by resort. For instance, AutoCamp Yosemite and AutoCamp Zion (the newest property) have pools, while the Cape Cod location has a playground. But all of AutoCamp's outposts are dog-friendly and offer complimentary cruiser bikes (first come, first served), Wi-Fi and coffee; they also promise on-site stores for provisions, including wine and beer, and an experience you won't soon forget.

Test-driving the 2024 ford maverick lariat.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Introduced in 2022 as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the Ford Ranger and F-150, the Maverick quickly outsold its competitors and achieved high sales rankings within Ford's lineup. Ford couldn't even fulfill orders in the first year, a situation that persists today due to ever-increasing demand primarily driven by its affordability. In fact, it is the least expensive new Ford vehicle available today. The Lariat trim, standing at the top of the range, adds wireless charging, blind-spot warning, and lane-keep assistance for 2024. Is the 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat worth $35,000? Let's explore further, shall we?

2024 Ford Maverick

EcoBoost Or Hybrid?

As with the standard XL Maverick, the 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat receives a 250-horsepower, 277 lb-ft 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that drives all wheels—a shift from the front-wheel drive setup in other trims. Alternatively, you can choose a 191-horsepower, 155 lb-ft 2.5-liter hybrid engine that powers the front wheels via a CVT transmission. For an additional $800, Ford offers an FX4 off-road package that includes a range of options, such as all-terrain tires on smaller 17-inch aluminum wheels, skid plates, and a trailer hitch receiver. What makes the package particularly appealing is the off-road screen in the instrument cluster, upgraded engine fan, hill descent control, and select driving modes. If you need a work truck, Ford also offers a 4,000-pound tow package with a higher capacity radiator, transmission oil cooler, trailer brake controller, and an upgraded final drive ratio for the AWD system. All things considered, the Maverick really delivers on practical, consumer-focused upgrades.

Refreshingly Unpretentious

Despite its small size, the Maverick retains a strong pickup truck identity. Its compact size actually makes it preferable for maneuvering through city streets and accessing tight job sites. Its design cues are borrowed from the F-150 but scaled down, without the overt ruggedness or aggressive lines. Standard features include 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/60R18 all-season tires , though all-terrain tires are available for an additional $800 with a switch to 17-inch wheels. Does its smaller footprint affect the Maverick Lariat's practicality? Its bed measures 54.4 inches long, about 4.5 feet, which is only around 1.3 feet shorter than regular short beds. The bed can hold up to 1,500 pounds, a class-leading weight rating that even compares favorably to larger pickup trucks.

Sixers justified in fury toward officiating after game 2 meltdown vs. knicks, senate passes $95 billion aid package for ukraine and israel, designed for work and play.

Inside, the Maverick Lariat offers seating for five, though the rear seat can be a bit tight for adults. Instead of leather, Ford used Active X for the seating material; it's comfortable, smooth, easier to clean, resistant to staining, and more durable than leather while still maintaining a premium look. At this price point, the need for leather is minimal, and I really liked the Active X seats. Besides the bed, storage is cleverly integrated into the doors to function as cup holders or storage for various items. There's additional storage underneath the rear bench seat, which can be used for larger equipment like construction helmets and toolboxes. Upfront, an 8.0-inch Sync3-equipped infotainment display comes standard, along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The premium 8-speaker B&O sound system is also quite impressive.

An All-Around Appeal

The Maverick’s diverse personality caters to a variety of buyer needs and is often considered the perfect sweet spot between a crossover and a pickup truck. Its versatility makes it more attractive to pickup truck buyers, while its size suits those seeking more than just practicality from a crossover. The engine options are compelling not for their power figures but for their fuel economies: the 2.0-liter EcoBoost averages 33 mpg, while the hybrid returns about 42 mpg.

Setting an unbeatable standard in the small pickup truck niche, the 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat is definitely worth considering over competitors like the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Honda Ridgeline . Its diverse capabilities cater to a wide range of needs, from work use to leisure, making it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a well-rounded pickup truck. However, it’s worth noting that both the Santa Cruz and Ridgeline are larger and more spacious.
