Cool Weather Summer Destinations

Following record-high temperatures in summer last year, “cool-cationing” has become one of the biggest trends for summer travel this year. A cool-cation is all about skipping traditional summer destinations in favour of more temperate climes. Cooler weather destinations often offer fewer crowds.

A cool-cation could take you to Italy’s Dolomites or Scandinavia’s spellbinding natural scenery, where you’ll be free to enjoy outdoor adventures minus the extreme heat of Europe’s summertime. Explore charming Alpine villages, varied hiking trails and cool lakes on warm days. Perhaps you’d like to journey south to Australia and New Zealand where the southern hemisphere winter is perfect for exploring the outdoors and nature while the weather remains mild. Further afield, why not embark on a truly unexpected summer adventure with an expedition cruise to the Arctic? A guaranteed alternate summer to remember.

While these may not be your typical summer itineraries, this is a chance to go beyond the beach and embrace a different style of summer travel. Our Travel Specialists are in the know and are on hand to guide you through a range of holiday options, tailored to you and crafted to capitalise on cooler climes and the benefits of travelling in the low-season.
