Let's go on a vaxication!

5/25/2021

Yes, it’s a bit of a silly word, a close-to-clever portmanteau invented by some inspired blogger. But still, at the heart of “vaxication” — vacation experiences that vaccinated travelers can enjoy right now — is more than just a popular internet idea.

Inside that word is hope, excitement, relief and relaxation. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel, a tunnel that you step out from to find yourself basking in the sun on a palm-fringed beach. It’s the much-needed respite you need after the long, challenging year we’ve had. It’s the dream you’ve been having to be free and to explore and to dive into new cultures — finally realized.

If you’re fully vaccinated, this might be your opportunity to travel with confidence again. Currently, more than 117 million Americans are fully vaccinated, with numbers rising higher every day. As a result of this dedication to safety, countries around the world have opened their borders to vaccinated travelers, including the Bahamas, Barbados, Croatia, Iceland and Tahiti with more adding to that list each week. Read about these vaccinated friendly destinations in our Visit Now article below.

The European Commission announced plans to end a year-long travel ban and open its doors to vaccinated American travelers as soon as this summer. Also beginning this summer, cruise lines are launching engaging itineraries to bucket-list destinations, but only for vaccinated guests. If getting your vaccination scheduled is still on your to do list, maybe the idea of traveling again is the incentive you need.
