A welcome warm spell in the Northeast is a reminder that February is nearly over and the official start of spring is just days away.
For many, that means making plans to break from the daily grind and warm up somewhere far from their office, home office, or school pickup line.
But travelers shouldn't settle for just any old getaway in 2025. Plan spring break right and your next trip may just be the one that you never forget.
It turns out that the spring break trip of your dreams doesn't have to be unattainable.
Here are two easy steps to ensure a blissful escape this time of year.
Work With a Travel Advisor
The best way to prevent your dream spring break getaway from turning into a nightmare is to book with a trusted travel advisor.

These travel professionals can not only guide you toward the ideal destination based on your personal preferences and suggest some off-the-beaten-path places to avoid the large crowds but help you craft the perfect itinerary.
An advisor is also by your side?before during and after your trip, which means you have an advocate and immediate assistance in the event of an unexpected flight cancelation, trouble at check-in or anywhere else along the way.
In addition to time and stress, advisors save their clients money by putting their connections and access to sales and discounts to work.
Protect Your Trip With Travel Insurance
Regardless of how much you're spending on your spring break getaway, it's always wise to invest in travel insurance.

This protection typically costs about 5 to 10 percent of your total trip costs but provides invaluable peace of mind.
The right policy can not only reimburse you if your trip is canceled or impacted by something outside of your control but also pay for medical expenses if you fall victim to an emergency overseas or somewhere your health insurance plan won't cover.
Travel insurance marketplace Squaremouth reveals that the travelers most likely to benefit are frequent travelers (who can purchase plans and multi-trip policies), adventurers, backpackers and students traveling abroad.
