The days are long, but the years are short. In the whirlwind of school, sports, and daily routines, the time we have with our children is the most precious thing we own. A family vacation is more than just a break; it's a powerful opportunity to reconnect, create a new set of shared memories, and open your children's eyes to the incredible diversity of the world. It's a chance to see your family, and the world, in a new light.
At Outward Travel, we believe that a well-planned family vacation is an investment in your family's legacy. We take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on what truly matters: being together.
More Than a Trip: An Investment in Your Family
Why do we prioritize family travel? Because the benefits extend far beyond a simple week off.
Create Lasting Memories
Stepping away from the daily grind allows you to truly see and hear each other. The inside jokes from a road trip, the shared awe of a beautiful sunset, the triumph of trying a new activity together—these are the moments that become the bedrock of your family's story.
Open Their Eyes to the World
A vacation can transform textbook lessons into living, breathing experiences. Exposing children to different cultures, foods, languages, and landscapes fosters curiosity, empathy, and a more compassionate worldview. It's the most fun and effective education you can give them.
Discover New Sides of Each Other
At home, we exist in our roles: parent, child. Travel changes that. On vacation, a quiet teenager might become the family navigator, a parent might reveal a hidden thrill-seeking side, and a young child might show surprising independence. Travel gives you the gift of seeing each other as individuals, united by a shared adventure.
The Magic of Multi-Generational Family Vacations
We are passionate advocates for multi-generational travel. A vacation that includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins is one of the most meaningful ways to strengthen your family's roots and branches.
For grandparents, it's a priceless opportunity to create memories with their grandchildren. For parents, it's a chance to relax with extra hands and see their own parents through the loving eyes of their children. And for the kids, it's a week of undivided attention from the people who love them most, creating a powerful sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. These trips are the stories that will be told for generations to come.
A Vacation for Every Kind of Family
"Family travel" doesn't mean one-size-fits-all. The perfect getaway depends on your ages, interests, and budget. We specialize in finding the right fit for your unique family.

The Cruise: A Floating Adventure
A cruise is a fantastic option for families and multi-generational groups. You get to visit multiple destinations while only unpacking once. The larger ships are floating cities with Broadway-style shows, water slides, and dining options for every palate. It's an effortless way to see the world together.

For larger families or those seeking more privacy and autonomy, a private villa is a game-changer. Imagine having your own pool, a big kitchen for shared meals, and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. It feels less like a hotel and more like your own private paradise, allowing for a deeper, more intimate family experience.

The Active Journey: A Family Biking Adventure
For families who love to move and explore together, a biking vacation is an unforgettable experience. Imagine pedaling at a relaxed pace through the French countryside or along a scenic coastal path, discovering charming villages and hidden gems you'd miss from a car. It's a chance to fully immerse yourselves in a destination, powered by your own energy. We partner with the world's best biking tour operators, like Backroads and DuVine, to offer trips that cater to all fitness levels (hello, e-bikes!) and ensure your family has a perfect blend of activity, culture, and relaxation.
