Spring Break Hotspots 2009
The 2009 spring break season may seem far away, but it is actually coming up sooner than you may think. Many people begin their planning process before the winter holidays/breaks. One reason for this is because of the large amount of travelers during the two week period in the middle of March. Prices on airfare and hotels can increase by a lot, especially if buying late. So now is a perfect opportunity for you to get a head start.

What are going to be the hotspots in 2009? This guide will give you all the practical information you will need to start your trip through StudentUniverse.com
Cancun
Cancun is always a college spring break favorite, especially with American travelers. It is relatively close to the U.S., however the drinking age is 18. This makes it instantly popular with under-age students.

Acapulco
Acapulco has endless beaches and warm tropical weather. It makes a nice, more relaxed place for your spring break if you are looking for something less high-traffic.

Europe
Yes, the whole continent gets one spot on the list. This is because there are endless options when visiting. A good choice is to divide your time between more then one country. Many college students who come here for spring break split up their time between Paris and London. Other hotspots are Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, and Athens. It is fairly easy once in Europe to bounce from country to country by train or cheap flights. StudentUniverse.com offers deals on Europe train packages, which allow you to travel all over Europe.

Jamaica
Specifically Negril and Montego Bay, Jamaica offers great excitement and fun on spring break. With fantastic beaches and a laid back atmosphere, it can feel like you’re in a different world here.

Morocco
Though most people wouldn’t initially put this on their top spots for spring break, Morocco has a lot more to offer than you might think. For something a little different and not too far from Europe, Morocco is rich in ethnic culture and history. This city is a great place to explore and find out a little more about yourself.

New York
New York has a lot to offer spring breakers interested in a place a little more rich in culture and entertainment. New York boasts it’s famous Time Square, Broadway, and Madison Square Garden. Fifth Avenue is another hotspot for shopping and luxury. There are always things to do and see in this constantly moving city. Plus, the nightlife is so vibrant, you won’t know where to go next.

My friends and i plan on taking a trip to Florida but being that we have never been there we have all decided to go to Myrtle Beach but we are not sure what airport or hotels are in the area. When plan on leaving 5/15 and departing 5/24. Any information that you would have as far as flight car and hotel would be very helpful for us. I will be leaving from MSP but they will be leaving from LGA…Thanks
although all the places above are great another place that people would love is south america. it summer time there and the food and people are great. if you want a specific country try Peru the food is awsome and the beaches are even nicer but the night life there is a 10 out of 10. and the drinking age is 18 i been there 2 times and every time is better then the last. try it out!!!!!!!!
Jamaica is definitely the way to go if you want nightlife and relaxation rolled into one. There’s miles of beautiful beach (Negril) and neverending fun from spring break through summer. Also, no real drinking age.
Georgette, thanks for your comment, but you have me a bit confused. You mention Florida and Myrtle Beach. If you’re looking for Myrtle Beach, famous for golfing and beaches, you’re talking South Carolina. They have an airport, and the code is MYR. If you’re looking for more fun in the sun type stuff, I would suggest Miami. It has a much larger spring break population, and given the overall economy, flights are really cheap there. I would recommend calling one of our agents at 800-272-9676 and letting them know where you want to go, when, and with how many people, and they can give you some options.
Have a great spring break!
