Autumn has a way of transforming travel into something extraordinary, and our agent’s favorite destinations prove just how diverse fall can be.
Some are drawn to the fall colors, as the leaves change and cool mountain trails, where nature puts on its most dramatic show. Others favor the timeless charm of Europe, cozying up in a cafe. For those who crave classic Americana, New England’s orchards and coastal villages provide the perfect seasonal escape. And, of course, our sun seekers that trade sweaters for swimsuits, following the sun to Florida or the Caribbean. Together, these destinations capture the many ways fall inspires us to explore.
If you're still looking for last minute fall vacation inspiration or planning for the future, you've made it to the right place! Check out some of our fave places to escape in autumn.
All Inclusive Resorts
A fall getaway to an all-inclusive resort is the perfect recipe for relaxation and renewal. While the weather cools elsewhere, you can trade gray skies for sunshine, sandy beaches, and endless ocean views.
I visited Moon Palace for Día de Muertos. I enjoyed learning more about this day of remembrance. It was wonderful to hear stories and see beautiful displays to show respect. - Agent, Julie Emmons
Headed to Valentin Imperial Maya. We love the Emerald Suites and the fewer guests in the fall. - Alicia C., Agent
Europe
Autumn is one of the most enchanting times to explore Europe, when golden leaves frame historic landmarks and the summer crowds have thinned. Cooler weather makes city sightseeing more comfortable, while cultural festivals and local traditions offer a deeper glimpse into each destination.
Oktoberfest in Munich is a bucket-list must—where Europe’s charm, Bavarian culture, and world-famous beer come together for the ultimate celebration!

Cruises
Cooler weather back home makes tropical ports feel even more inviting. Onboard, you’ll find seasonal menus, festive events, and endless opportunities to soak up the sun without the peak-season bustle.

I love going to the Great Smokey Mountains in the fall. The ride between Cherokee and Gatlinburg is breathtaking. If you are lucky enough to have a room on the "river", open those windows and listen to the sounds of the cascading river while you drift off to sleep. - Karen A., Agent
Disney Parks
The Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts take on an extra layer of magic in the fall, blending favorite attractions with seasonal charm. Cooler temperatures make for more comfortable park days, while autumn brings unique experiences like Halloween-themed parades, limited-time treats, and dazzling nighttime events.
