The Best Presidents Day Weekend Getaways

Presidents Day began as a celebration of George Washington's birthday and has evolved into a celebration of all U.S. presidents. Celebrated on the third Monday in February, this long holiday weekend is an ideal time to plan a weekend getaway with your family, partner or friends. In honor of our nation's history and leaders, we've created a list of the top places in the U.S. to make the most of the three-day holiday weekend with presidential museums, historical destinations, ski retreats and sunny spots.

For history enthusiasts, Boston serves up an endless array of places to explore. Venture along the Path of Presidents to explore 19 sites tied to U.S. presidents. Or, the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail highlights 16 historic sites, such as the Old State House, where the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony in 1776; another stop is Faneuil Hall, where George Washington was entertained in 1789 and where today you can explore the historic building, shop and grab a bite to eat. Spend the night at the Omni Parker House , which has hosted presidents like Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Clinton.

Make your way to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum to see a re-creation of JFK's Oval Office and Robert Kennedy's Attorney General Office, as well as permanent exhibits showcasing the U.S. Space Program, campaign archives, the first lady's clothing and more. On Feb. 19, 2024, the museum will be hosting its annual Presidents Day Festival with a variety of events. Complete the JFK-focused day with dinner at one of America's oldest restaurants, Union Oyster House – "The Kennedy Booth" in the upstairs dining room marks the spot where JFK loved to dine.

Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

Ski enthusiasts seeking a New England destination can book a stay at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Showcasing picturesque views of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains, this historic property has hosted multiple U.S. presidents – including Coolidge, Harding and Wilson – since its opening in 1902.

Go Nordic skiing along the resort's 100-kilometer trail through open fields and tranquil woods, or ride the gondola to the top of the mountain for Alpine skiing. The family-friendly property has an on-site ski and snowboard school for beginners, and all ages can enjoy snow tubing and snowshoeing. When it's time to rejuvenate, book a spa service or head to the indoor heated pool. In the evenings, the resort has multiple dining options and cozy bar areas for an après-ski cocktail.

Boyne Mountain Resort, Michigan

For a family-friendly destination with plenty of winter sports options and indoor experiences when you need to warm up, Boyne Mountain Resort fits the bill. A popular getaway for more than 75 years, the property was a favorite ski spot for President Gerald R. Ford and his wife when he was a congressman in the 1950s. Today, travelers will find 415 skiable acres and the largest indoor water park in Michigan.

In the evening, check out the "Lights in the Sky" illumination of SkyBridge Michigan − the world's longest timber-towered suspension bridge – where guests can walk through this sensory experience surrounded by more than 150,000 twinkling lights. There are multiple lodging options at this top Michigan ski resort , including Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa, which sits steps from the Avalanche Bay water park; the European-inspired Chalet Edelweiss; and the Clocktower Lodge, with views of the slopes and an ice skating rink. To top it off, dining options are aplenty.

Springfield, Illinois

As the capital of the state called the "Land of Lincoln," Springfield is home to many historic sites honoring the nation's 16th president, including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum; the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, where the family lived from 1844 to 1861; and the Lincoln Tomb, which was built using donations from around the U.S.

In Illinois' capital city, visitors can also explore Old State Capitol State Historic Site and the Illinois State Museum; consider scheduling a free tour of the Illinois State Capitol building. Architecture enthusiasts will want to tour the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Dana-Thomas House, or drive along part of the original Route 66 with a stop at the must-see Illinois State Fairgrounds Route 66 Experience (open 365 days a year).

For accommodations, take your pick of chain hotels and vacation rentals, or you can book a stay at the Inn at 835 boutique hotel for a daily continental breakfast and a location within walking distance of many historic sites.

Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum: Atlanta

Set amid 35 acres of landscaped grounds in Atlanta, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum teaches visitors about the longest living president. You'll learn about his early life, his time in office and his post-White House accomplishments – including his Nobel Peace Prize, which is on display. Go to the rotunda to watch the "Day in the Life of the President" presentation on 13-foot-tall screens, walk into a cabin-style exhibit outlining the Camp David meetings and step into a full-size replica of the Oval Office. There are unique artifacts on display, like gifts from foreign heads of state. Museumgoers can virtually travel the world with the Carters to monitor elections and fight diseases via an interactive map table.

Plan to stay at The Candler Hotel Atlanta, Curio Collection by Hilton , which occupies a beaux-arts structure built by Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler. Check out a variety of family-friendly attractions in Atlanta , including Zoo Atlanta (currently home to the only giant pandas in the U.S.), the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.

If you want to venture farther afield to more presidential sites, make your way to Carter's hometown of Plains (about 145 miles south of Atlanta) to the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park and the Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm. Or, head to Warm Springs (about 75 miles south of Atlanta) to the Little White House Historic Site, where FDR lived before becoming president. He found relief for his polio symptoms in the spring waters, and today the house where he died is preserved. There's also a museum displaying the "Unfinished Portrait" of him, a 1930s radio playing his Fireside Chats and a 1938 Ford convertible with hand controls.

Nashville, Tennessee

Music City makes an ideal long weekend destination. Reserve a hotel or vacation rental downtown to be within walking distance of museums like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Johnny Cash Museum, and the National Museum of African American Music. Peruse more than 30 eateries and three stages with live music in the Assembly Food Hall, then tour the Ryman Auditorium to learn about the building and the beginnings of the Grand Ole Opry. On certain nights, you can make your way to the Opry House (about 10 miles northeast of the city) for a live Opry performance. Or, take a stroll along Broadway and follow your ears into a honky-tonk that suits your music taste.

If you'd like to infuse your three-day holiday weekend with some presidential history in Nashville , head to Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. Explore the museum, log cabin, authentically preserved mansion and on-site slave sites where visitors learn about Jackson's life and times. Venture further afield to Columbia to tour the Federal-style ancestral home of James K. Polk.

Bush Presidential Library and Museum can learn about the life and experiences of the 41st president and first lady. The "Symbols of the Presidency" exhibit features a presidential limousine, painted portraits and a 3-foot crystal presidential seal.

Feel like the president in the replicas of Camp David, the Situation Room and the Oval Office – where you can have your photo taken sitting in the "Seat of Power." Amid photos, videos and documents, you'll find a 1947 Studebaker, a section of the Berlin Wall and more.

Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado

If the mountains are calling, head to Beaver Creek. Situated less than 15 miles west of Vail , this premiere ski destination in Colorado first opened in 1980 and is home to a highly regarded ski and snowboard school – ideal for families with young children hitting the slopes for the first time. Within the resort, there are three villages with a variety of shopping and dining options. During Presidents Day Weekend 2024, adult travelers can attend the Frites Artois on-mountain culinary experience (in partnership with beer brand Stella Artois). On Saturday of the long weekend, there's a fun fest with caricature drawings and games for all ages.

In terms of presidential history, Ford was at the Beaver Creek Resort groundbreaking in 1977 and the opening of the resort in 1980. He and his family owned a home in Beaver Creek, which was dubbed the "winter White House," and Ford spent a lot of time in the region after he left politics.

When you're looking to maximize a long weekend, Las Vegas offers around-the-clock excitement. Whether you want to go to the lavish Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace for brunch, soak up some rays by the pool, unwind at a five-star spa, dine at a world-renowned restaurant or gamble all night long, Vegas can accommodate.

Celebrate President’s Day with an epic cruise.

President’s Day may celebrate George Washington’s birthday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save some celebrating for yourself. If the country’s most famous founding father were alive today, he’d probably be celebrating this weekend, too, with chants of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (you know, with a few upgrades and adjustments of 2024 modernity). Well, what makes people feel more alive, freer, and happier, than taking a cruise? We’re not saying the Declaration of Independence was — among many other things — just about giving the colonists the eventual freedom to take cruise vacations, but ultimately, it kinda turned out that way, didn’t it? So make the most of your upcoming day off by booking yourself a President’s Day vacation, and pursuing happiness in style. 

Top 10 reasons to travel for Presidents' Day Weekend 

The best thing about President’s Day (besides, of course, reflecting on the lives and significance of all the US presidents)? Vacation time. Put it to good use by treating yourself to a much-deserved holiday. Here are 10 reasons why you should plan a cruise over President’s Day Weekend.

1. Escape the Daily Routine.

Same is boring. Break free of your tedious routine and set sail for a new adventure – whether that adventure means quality r&r time in our Redemption Spa, exploring multiple new ports, or dancing the night away with new friends.

2. Experiences & Lasting Memories.

Travel almost always means new experiences, new people, and new landscapes. Couple that with breathtaking days at sea, watching sunrises and sunsets, it’s impossible not to make new and lasting memories.

3. Romance & Love.

Gone are the days of the traditional “Love Boat” cruise, but Virgin is bringing a new, more modern spice to romance at sea. From our couples spa treatments and date nights at Michelin-starred restaurants to cabin mood lighting, there’s no better place than a Virgin ship to celebrate your love.

4. Selfcare & Wellness.

Going on vacation doesn’t have to mean abandoning your health routine. Keep your wellness in check, or kickstart your wellness journey, with our onboard group fitness classes, yoga, gym, and running track.

5. Celebrations.

Got something to celebrate besides President’s Day? Perfect. Whether it’s marking a milestone birthday with some Korean BBQ action, or celebrating a bachelorette party at our nightclub and karaoke lounge, we’ve got your festivities covered.

6. Bring and Meet New Friends.

Traveling solo? Traveling with friends but looking to meet new ones? With onboard meetups for solo sailors, bar crawls, communal drinking games in our Gunbae restaurant, and more, our cruises are the perfect way to broaden your social horizons.

7. Relaxation.

The whole point of a vacation is to relax, right? We get it. That’s why we installed hammocks on every cabin balcony, and have plenty of pools and jacuzzis throughout the ship for Sailors to embrace their inner sloth. 

8. Adventure.

Our Shore Things are designed to get you out and exploring ports. Go ziplining through the jungle in Roatan. Take a wine-tasting tour of the vineyards in the French countryside. See the wildlife of Tasmania. We’re always thinking of new ways to give our Sailors an exhilarating land experience.

9. Explore.

The best part about cruising in general is the lack of decision paralysis. You don’t have to decide on a single destination for your trip. Whether it’s two ports or over 10, you can look forward to checking multiple new places off your list, and diving into new cuisines, architecture, landscapes, and experiences.

10. Learn Different Cultures.

No other form of travel allows you to see as many different cultures, in such a short period of time, as a cruise. On a one-week voyage you might stop at four or five ports, each with its own unique traditions, culinary style, and language.

Mid Feb is the tippy top of high season in S. Florida. Hotels are generally about double that of off season rates.

I used to live there, and right around Valentines day has the max snow birds down in S. Florida .. that week...though season starts around Thanksgiving and ends around Easter.

A lot of schools have a mid-winter break around that time so families are traveling at that time just like around spring break so they raise the rates!

Last year same weekend we paid $110 for the Marriott Biscaayne Bay, and $40 a day for a mid size rental car. This year the Marriott is $400/ night and mid size car $120/ day.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Meet paul ludlow, the president of p&o cruises.

Paul Ludlow, President of P&O Cruises

Paul Ludlow is the President of P&O Cruises .

On a sunny Wednesday morning, we sat down to discuss Paul's journey from sales administrator to cruise line president and his plans for the 21st-century evolution of what is dubbed Britain's best-loved cruise line.

Growing up on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England, Paul got his first taste of travel working as a tour guide for an educational tours company, EF Travel. He showcased the island and taught English to visiting school children.

"In hindsight, I think I probably realize now that my first job as a tour guide meant I had a future in the travel industry – I started so young, showcasing the local area, and I absolutely loved it," Paul says, beaming.

From there, Paul's journey to becoming the president of P&O Cruises began.

"I don't think you ever set out thinking that that is your final destination," Paul chuckles.

After studying Business at Bournemouth University, Paul remained in the south of England, on the doorstep of P&O Cruises, one of the largest employers in the region at the time.

"I got my foot in the door at a low level in the business. My first role was sales administrator, over 23 years ago now!

I realized very quickly that the cruise industry is such an exciting place to be – back in the day, it was tiny compared to where it is today," says Paul.

Paul recounts the first time he set on a cruise ship: "I was overwhelmed by the scale, the choice, and the amenities available on the ships.

Looking back now, you could perhaps fit several of those ships into the size of the ships we have today at P&O Cruises," says Paul.

"It was a fast-growing industry and an exciting place to be, and I stuck with it," Paul adds.

Paul worked his way through P&O Cruises' parent group, Carnival Corporation, as the previous UK managing director of Princess Cruises before landing the top job of president of P&O Cruises.

"Every day is different – I have huge variety within my role.

Cruise ships are like floating cities with theatres, fine-dining restaurants, and even hospitals. Parts of our organization are dedicated to each of those areas—it's my role to be responsible for all of that!" says Paul.

"I'm very fortunate to travel on all of our ships to all four corners of the world, and I get enormous joy out of that.

We have over 15,000 people working for this business, and I really enjoy my interactions with each of them," Paul adds.

I wonder what the most significant challenges are in Paul's role?

"We're a very complex business. Often, you'll make a change in one area of the business, and it'll have a consequence in another part of the business.

So one of the challenges is understanding that interplay, making sure that you have all the stakeholders together, that everyone has a clear view of what 'good' looks like, and that we're all working for a common goal," says Paul.

"Over time, you realize that you can't be an expert in everything you're ultimately accountable for in a large and complex business like this.

You rely on subject matter experts, and you have to learn to trust that they will drive for the best result possible," says Paul.

"As you develop as a leader and move through the organization, you realize that the way you empower people and set them up for success will deliver the best results, " adds Paul.

Paul Ludlow

With so many cruise lines floating around, I wonder what makes a cruise, a P&O cruise ?

"There's a DNA that runs through all of our holidays. P&O Cruises is an iconic band with enormous trust amongst its guests, but what it's always been throughout its 200-year history reflects the best of Britain.

Britain never stands still—people's tastes, interests, and hobbies constantly move. We want to make sure that when people come onboard, they have immediate familiarity with what they have at home, but done even better at sea," says Paul.

"Holidays count now more than ever after the COVID pandemic, and with the economic backdrop standing as it is, cruisers are looking for value and a return on their investment," Paul adds.

P&O Cruises has heavily invested in its partnerships, from gourmet menus designed by British chef Marco Pierre White to entertainment dreamt up by Take That's Garry Barlow.

More recently, the cruise line partnered with Nicole Scherzinger, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls, to develop entertainment under the SkyDome onboard P&O Arvia.

"I think P&O Cruises has evolved enormously over the last ten years, and we'll continue to stay ahead of modern Britain into the future," says Paul.

After welcoming its two newest ships, P&O Iona and P&O Arvia , they plan to pause as they focus on passenger experience.

"We have a huge presence in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and the Norwegian Fjords, and we're increasingly working with those destinations to maximize guest experience ashore.

I want to be Britain's number one holiday choice—so I'm not just limiting this to the cruise sector," says Paul.

"In the UK cruise sector, P&O Cruises is already the market leader, but I really want us to have a challenger mentality so that we think bigger than just cruise," Paul adds.

I relay a question from Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises, for Paul – "What do you say no to?" I ask.

"I actually say no a lot! I strongly believe that you have to focus on your priorities. We're not short of good ideas in our organization, and there is lots of passion and enthusiasm amongst all our people—but we have to be selective in the things we can spend our time and money on.

Saying no enables you to continue focussing on your priorities and stay on the right track," says Paul.

I ask Paul whether he has a question he'd like to ask another cruise line president?

"What keeps you up at night? Is there anything that weighs heavy on your mind from week to week, from month to month?" Paul ponders.
