Q – 9.7.21 – It all seems rather confusing at the moment – can’t imagine how you are keeping up with where one can/should go on vacation these days. Like everyone else in the D.C. area, we need to get away for a while. Are there general areas of the world we should be considering, avoiding, if we want to travel before the New Year?
A – For 2021, the luxury playing field is narrowing but there are still many good options – although you may have to do a bit of 72-hour pre-testing. Let’s start with those portions of the world that we think might be best avoided for the rest of this year and into the first quarter of next year followed by destinations where current conditions make vacation planning in the next 100 days feasible:
AVOID:
- Central America
- South America
- Asia with the exception of Japan
- Mexico
- Hawaii
- Caribbean Mega-ship Cruise Ports
- India and Nepal
CONSIDER
- Tahiti
- Antarctica Cruising
- Christmas Market River Cruises
- The Maldives
- The United Arab Emirates
- Eastern and Southern Africa
- Iceland
- Ireland and Scotland
- Egypt and Nile Cruises
- European Cruises on ships with no Covid history on the Cruisetruth Top Ten List
