30 Epic Graduation Trip Ideas (2023 – USA & International)
Our seniors have had to miss a number of milestones and special occasions that were canceled or altered in some way. Like many of you, I have been searching for ways to make happy memories as time slips through my fingers and mark milestones in ways that are still celebratory and significant. As the school year begins its rapid roll toward the inevitable end of an era, we are starting to think about graduation trip ideas.
A grad trip serves the double purpose of celebrating the completion of this phase of schooling and the optimism for the future. So instead of (or maybe in addition to) a graduation party, think about a special trip instead.
We put together a list of options for my high school senior to choose from this year and for those of you looking for high school graduation trip ideas, college graduation trip ideas, or senior trip ideas, I have some great suggestions for you! The thing to consider though when planning a high school or college graduation trip is that while you may want it to be a bucket list experience or a trip of a lifetime; if you really want to take a trip right after graduation in May or June, you need to keep the season in mind.
Summer is the high season for family travel, which means crowds, peak pricing, and a need for advance planning. If you can travel in early to mid-June, you can avoid the high peak that starts in early July as European schools let out for the summer.
