Senior Trip in Cancun!


Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable Spring Break adventure in Cancun? As the requests for Iowa Senior Spring Break Trips start rolling in, we've got you covered with the best resort options tailored to groups of 18-year-olds checking into their own rooms. It's crucial to be well-informed about resort policies and travel tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here's everything you need to know:


Tips for Booking Senior Trips!


Strategic Travel Dates

  • Most Iowa schools have their spring break from March 8-15. An insider tip: consider traveling one or more days outside this timeframe. This simple adjustment could save you thousands on your vacation while enjoying a slightly less crowded experience.

  • Flexibility is key. If you can adapt your travel dates, you'll not only enjoy potential savings but also a more relaxed atmosphere.

Smart Flight Choices

  • Explore flight options beyond your local airport. Flights from surrounding Metropolitan areas like Kansas City or Minneapolis might offer better deals and nonstop flight options.

  • Exclusive nonstop flights on airlines like Sun Country and Frontier can offer cost savings. However, be aware that seats and bags might not be included in the price. Make sure to budget for these additional costs.

Dive into the Fine Print

  • Resort policies can vary, especially during Spring Break. It's essential to thoroughly understand these policies before finalizing your booking.

  • Your travel advisor is an invaluable resource when it comes to navigating the intricacies of resort policies. They can provide tailored recommendations based on your specific needs.

  • While some resort policies apply specifically to contracted groups, there's often room for flexibility when booking individual reservations.

  • You might be able to work around Spring Break restrictions by opting for individual reservations. Your travel advisor can guide you on the best approach.
