Summer is a time for couples to get away from the every-day work schedule, and do something special together. But couples vacationing is changing, and an ideal holiday for two can range anywhere from a week-long cruise to a quiet romantic weekend. Whether it be for the adventurous, outdoorsy couple, or the jet-setting couple, there is a reasonably priced holiday for everyone.
Hawaii
One of the most popular honeymoon destinations, Hawaii is best seen by cruise ship. In one week, a couple can travel to four islands, with excursions to a new city every day. The price can range from $500 - $3000 per person per 7 nights, depending on the level of accommodation desired. It's an easy way of seeing the many islands of Hawaii without spending more money on flying than necessary. This vacation is suggested for couples that enjoy an active itinerary and a social nightlife.
Alaska
Another popular cruise destination, this vacation is ideal for the older couple. Like Hawaii , the Alaskan cruise is a week long, stopping in eight cities around Alaska . Prices range from $400 to $2000, not including government fees. This is an excellent summer destination, since the weather will be comfortably warm, and most people tend to flock to more exotic cruises. Activities on land can include anything from visiting cities, to rock climbing.
Italy
Tuscany is one of the most beautiful sections of Italy , and has always been a popular destination for honeymooners or just couples looking to get away. Special packages tend to be for 2 nights, and include breakfast, dinner, massages and champagne for around $2000. For a longer stay, hotels can range from $200 to $400 a night. Most couples take a day trip to Florence , and visit the many museums, restaurants and outdoor excursions that Tuscany has to offer.
Prague
Though considered less common than Vienna as a romantic getaway, Prague has become increasingly popular among couples looking for something original, historic and fairly cost efficient. For six nights, rates start at $1889 per person, including breakfast. Sight-seeing tours can be private or group and Karlsterjn Castle is near by. The night life is vibrant and the museums are equally as appealing. Trips can also be taken to Brno , or neighboring countries such as Germany , by train.
Greek Islands
An excellent way to experience Greece is also by cruise ship. For seven nights, the prices can range from $600 to $1500. In eight days, the ship comes to port in three countries ( Italy , Greece and Croatia ), seeing six cities, including Venice , Athens , Mykonos, Katakolon, Corfu, and Split . There is an excellent split of days to lay out on the beaches of Greece , and days to wander around European cities. Unlike most cruises around the Greek Islands , this ship stops in Croatia , an up and coming attraction in Eastern Europe .
