Florida with Premier Holidays

Many combinations are possible, depending on your time, interests and budget. Here’ s just a few ideas:-
Marathon
Just Orlando: It’ s easy to spend two weeks here and still not fit in every ride at every park, but it’ s great fun trying as many as you can! Choose hotels close to the action, apartments with more space or, have your own pad that’ s within an easy drive of the parks. Pre-bookable attraction tickets and unmissable experiences to enhance your holiday are highly recommended.
Twin or multi-centres: Orlando can be full on, so why not combine a week of thrills and spills with some downtime at a beach or seeking out the wildlife. Whether you prefer a lively resort or somewhere secluded to simply sink your toes in the sand, Florida has a beach with your name on it.
Mix & match: Flight connections across the USA make it easy to take in the sights of an iconic North East city before flying south to the Floridan sun.
Touring options: Florida is a wonderful road trip destination. You may be happy to blaze your own trail, but for a little bit of inspiration, see our Sunshine Trails tour on page 41.
Cruise & stay: If you fancy life on the ocean wave, numerous cruises depart from Miami and Fort Lauderdale for the Caribbean. It’ s an ideal way to round off a stay in the Sunshine State. Please contact our Travel Experts who will be happy to advise on itineraries and ships.
