Allianz Partners Reveals Travelers are Ready for Beaches, Cities, and Peace of Mind This Spring Break

Allianz Partners analysis of more than one million itineraries reveals where its customers are heading this Spring Break.

RICHMOND, Va., March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- While the world remains an uncertain place, Americans are still planning to take their Spring Break getaways according to new data from travel insurance provider Allianz Partners. In its annual Top Spring Break Destinations report*, Allianz Partners found that Americans are eager to put what was sometimes a brutal winter behind them and jet off to destinations that offer sun, sand and a variety of attractions and activities. At the top of this year's list is Orlando for domestic travelers, offering a variety of theme park attractions appropriate for every member of the family. International travelers' top choice was perennial favorite Cancun, with guaranteed good weather all year long.

The data of insured Allianz Partners customers' 2026 Spring Break plans was gathered by reviewing the itineraries of customers who purchased travel through the online booking process for partners offering Allianz Partners travel insurance and also purchased travel insurance to protect their trip. In total, just over 1.3 million itineraries were analyzed.

As travelers start mapping out their trips and continue to finalize their Spring Break plans, Allianz Partners recommends thinking about travel protection while booking your trip. Purchasing travel insurance while reserving flights or accommodations can reimburse losses caused by covered, unexpected cancellations, interruptions and delays that may derail a trip. Travel insurance can also provide coverage for covered medical emergencies and baggage delays or losses while traveling.

"Spring Break travel 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 travelers are recognizing the importance of preparing for the unexpected. Travel insurance can play an important role in helping to both protect trips and support travelers during 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 continues to be a major draw for travelers seeking sunshine and beaches, with Fort Lauderdale (#4), Miami (#6), Fort Myers (#7), and Tampa (#9) all appearing in the Top 10. Rounding out the domestic rankings are New York City (#5), Los Angeles (#8), and Honolulu (#10).

Mexico remains the go-to international destination for Spring Break, claiming three of the spots on the list, with Cancun leading at #1 and San Jose del Cabo (#2) and Puerto Vallarta (#6) also making 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 strong.

Beyond Mexico's continued dominance, Caribbean favorites remain popular for travelers seeking sun-filled escapes, including Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic (#4), Oranjestad (#7) in Aruba, Nassau (#9) in the Bahamas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (#10). Meanwhile, major global cities are drawing travelers looking for longer-haul adventures, with London (#3), Tokyo (#5), and Paris (#8) also appearing on the list.

Allianz Partners offers travel insurance through most major U.S. airlines, leading travel advisors, online travel agencies, hotel companies, cruise lines and directly to consumers.
