Winter holidays 2027

Where will you travel in winter 2027?

When winter in Europe starts to feel long, dark, and cold, it’s the perfect time to set your sights on new adventures elsewhere in the world.

Across the globe’s magnificent continents, you’ll find destinations where a tour in January or February offers warm temperatures that set the scene for adventure – from rainforests, jungles, and idyllic beaches to temples, city ruins, and historical treasures.

If your biggest wish for your winter holiday is to take a break from the classic European winter weather, there are plenty of destinations to choose from.  

We’ve gathered some of the most popular ones here:

• Kenya and Tanzania: Warm temperatures, clear skies, and minimal rainfall create perfect conditions for a safari and a beach holiday along the coast.

• Cambodia: A dry and sunny climate provides excellent conditions for both temple visits and relaxing by the beach.
• Costa Rica: It’s dry season across most of the country, making it perfect for both a beach holiday and exploring nature.

Is it expensive to travel during winter?

Winter is a popular time to travel, and although it’s not as costly as a tour over the Christmas holidays, the most sought‑after periods can see significant price increases. The price depends on your destination, the length of your tour, and when you book.
