March is one of my favorite months to travel — and to plan travel.
It’s that sweet spot between winter and spring. The crowds haven’t fully taken over yet, the weather is warming up in so many destinations, and there are incredible opportunities for both relaxation and adventure.
If you’re wondering where to go (or what to start planning now), here are my favorite March trips to book.
🌴 Caribbean & Mexico: Sun Without the Summer Crowds
March is prime time for the Caribbean.
Warm water. Low humidity. Bright sunshine. And before the intense summer heat and hurricane season.
My favorite islands and beach destinations this time of year:
- Aruba – Consistent sunshine and calm turquoise water.
- Turks and Caicos – Grace Bay is breathtaking in March.
- St. Lucia – Perfect for couples wanting a romantic escape.
If you’ve been craving a reset, March beach travel is the answer.
🚢 Spring Cruises: Perfect Sailing Weather
March is one of the best months for Caribbean cruising. The seas are generally calm, and temperatures are comfortable for exploring ports.
Some of my favorite itineraries sail with:
- Royal Caribbean International
- MSC
- Carnival Cruise Line
Whether it’s a 3–4 night escape or a 7-night itinerary, this is a fantastic time to cruise before summer pricing increases.
And if you’ve been thinking about planning a group cruise, March is a great month to start organizing fall or holiday sailings.
🌷 Washington, D.C.: Cherry Blossom Season
March brings one of the most beautiful natural events in the U.S. — the blooming of the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C..
Peak bloom usually happens mid-to-late March, and the city feels magical.
Pair the blossoms with:
- The National Mall
- Smithsonian museums
- Springtime rooftop dining
It’s a short but unforgettable seasonal experience.
🎶 Nashville: Music, Food & Spring Energy
March in Nashville hits differently.
Patio weather returns. Broadway is buzzing. Festivals start rolling in. It’s lively but not yet peak summer chaos.
This is a great long weekend destination for:
- Girls trips
- Couples getaways
- Food & music lovers
And if you want the perfect boutique stay near the action, I’ve got favorites.
🌍 Europe: Shoulder Season Sweet Spot
March is underrated for Europe travel.
You’ll find:
- Lower hotel rates
- Fewer crowds
- Comfortable sightseeing temperatures
Top picks this month:
- Rome – Ideal walking weather.
- Barcelona – Culture + coastline.
- Paris – Spring begins to bloom.
If Europe is on your 2026 wish list, March is the perfect time to start planning while availability is still strong.
🌺 Hawaii: Before Peak Summer Pricing
March is a wonderful time to visit Hawaii.
Whale season is still happening early in the month, and temperatures are warm but comfortable.
Whether you’re considering:
- Maui
- Oahu
- Kauai
This is a fantastic time for outdoor adventures, beach days, and luxury resorts without peak summer crowds.
✈️ What You Should Be Planning in March

💛 Why Work With a Travel Advisor?
Travel isn’t just about picking a destination.
It’s about:
- Timing it right
- Choosing the right property
- Knowing what to avoid
- Adding experiences you didn’t even know existed
That’s where I come in.
If March has you dreaming about sunshine, adventure, or something extraordinary — let’s start planning.
Because the best trips aren’t just taken.
They’re thoughtfully designed.
