Highlights of our family vacations in Europe

Multi activity vacations

Europe’s most majestic landscapes are worth seeing from every angle: in summer, head to Croatia’s coastline to try sea kayaking or bob aboard a sailing boat, then explore the same region through cycling and hiking. Or aim for Montenegro’s Lake Skadar to swim and kayak before venturing further into its mountains for eagle-eye views. In winter, when many of Europe’s northern landscapes are transformed by several metres of perfect powder, don a snowsuit and head to Finnish or Swedish Lapland for multi activity vacations that make the most of it: reindeer sleighs, snowshoeing, ice fishing and husky sledding.

The joy of small group vacations

There’s nothing better than when your children make friends on vacation, and some of your future best family friends might be found on your next small group family trip. On these fun adventures you’ll muck in with like-minded families. As a family, you’ll visit new places, try new foods, new sports and discover new cultures together, and our vacations often work behind the scenes to book you onto trips with similarly aged children where possible. Best of all, you can all plan to book together next year, and see if your paddleboarding or cross country skiing skills have improved.

Accommodation

If you want to stay in one place on vacation, then make that place a good one. The accommodation on our family vacations is often kitted out with families in mind, whether you’re traveling with toddlers or teens. But that doesn’t mean identikit villas. No, instead: stay in a cave, go off-grid in an eco-yurt, sleep under the stars, or rest up in a wooden hut powered by brand new solar panels. No two of our hotels are the same, but they’ve all been tried and tested by families, and each one has been carefully screened to ensure that it operates with minimal negative impact on the environment or local communities.
