Allianz Partners Reveals Travelers Are Ready for Beaches, Cities and Peace of Mind During Spring Break | News
While the world remains an uncertain place, Americans are still planning to take their spring break vacations, according to new data from travel insurer Allianz Partners. In its annual Top Spring Break Destinations report*, Allianz Partners finds that Americans are eager to leave the sometimes harsh winter behind and head to destinations that offer sun, sand and a variety of attractions and activities. Topping this year’s list is Orlando for domestic travelers, with a variety of theme park attractions to suit every member of the family. The top choice of international travelers was perennial favorite Cancun, with guaranteed good weather all year round.
The 2026 spring break plans data of insured Allianz Partners customers was collected by reviewing the itineraries of customers who purchased trips through the online booking process for partners offering Allianz Partners travel insurance and who also purchased travel insurance to protect their trip. In total, just over 1.3 million travel routes were analyzed.
As travelers begin planning their trips and finalizing their spring break plans, Allianz Partners recommends thinking about travel protection as you book your trip. Buying travel insurance while booking flights or accommodation can help reimburse you for losses caused by covered, unexpected cancellations, interruptions and delays that can derail a trip. Travel insurance can also provide coverage for covered medical emergencies and baggage delays or loss while traveling.
“Spring break is in full swing, with travelers eager to explore both popular beach destinations and iconic cities around the world,” said Emily Hartman, General Manager at Allianz Partners. “With airports expected to be busy and travel itineraries sometimes subject to change, more and more travelers are recognizing the importance of preparing for the unexpected. Travel insurance can play an important role in protecting trips and supporting travelers in uncertain times.”
Domestic travel remains strong, with warm weather destinations and major city hubs dominating the list. Orlando claims the top spot, followed by Phoenix (#2) and Las Vegas (#3). Florida remains a big draw for travelers looking for sun and sand, with Fort Lauderdale (#4), Miami (#6), Fort Myers (#7) and Tampa (#9) all in the Top 10. The domestic rankings are rounded out by New York City (#5), Los Angeles (#8) and Honolulu (#10).
Mexico remains the top international spring break destination, claiming three of the spots on the list, with Cancun taking the #1 spot and San Jose del Cabo (#2) and Puerto Vallarta (#6) also in the Top 10. While recent headlines and evolving travel advisories may prompt some travelers to double-check their plans, demand for these popular beach destinations remains high.
In addition to Mexico’s continued dominance, Caribbean favorites remain popular among travelers looking for sun-drenched vacations, including Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic (#4), Oranjestad (#7) in Aruba, Nassau (#9) in the Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands (#10). Meanwhile, major global cities are attracting travelers looking for longer-distance adventures, with London (#3), Tokyo (#5) and Paris (#8) also on the list.
