8 Great Destinations for Your Next Mother-Daughter Trip
Mothers and daughters generally make great travel companions, which is one of the reasons why mother-daughter travel is much more popular than father-son travel.
As a result, there’s a bustling market for mother-daughter trips, whether it’s a trip to get away from the guys, or a trip to celebrate a milestone, such as turning 40 or graduation.
Here are some of the best mother-daughter trip ideas to consider for your next vacation.
New York City
New York can be pure magic, and there’s so much to do in the city that mothers and daughters of any age can find something that suits them perfectly.
Museum types young and old can revel in the Met and the Museum of Modern Art. Crave a musical? They’re literally all playing on Broadway, with options ranging from cotton candy to cosmopolitan. Shopping? Every major retailer has a flagship store on or around Fifth Avenue, and many top fashion boutiques are in the area as well. Food? From hot dogs to delis to fine dining, you’ll find it all. History and heritage? Head to Ellis Island and peruse the immigration records. A little green space for a stroll? Can’t beat Central Park and its youngster-friendly zoo. No matter how you define a perfect mother-daughter getaway, New York City can accommodate you. Splurge on a boutique hotel in the heart of it all and just revel in all the adventures laid out before you.
One last tip: Plan your visit for the off-seasons. New York has its own special magic going on right before Valentine’s Day, and in the middle weeks of November. Plus, prices are more reasonable and everything is less crowded.
Caribbean cruises
The cruise lifestyle – the full-service, sun-‘n’-spa, cheesecake-buffet lifestyle – totally syncs up with what many mothers and daughters are looking for.
So, given that dynamic, ditch the guys and make it a girls’ cruise. Like New York, cruises offer a plethora of choices depending on personal preferences. If both of you crave sun and sand it’s easy: pick a cruise with a day on a private island, make boat days spa days, and you’re set. If you want a little more adventure, spice up the ports of call with destinations like Aruba, St. Maarten, Anguilla, or Dominica. If you want fun things to do onboard for a mom and a younger daughter, consider a themed cruise or even a repositioning cruise which can be a more budget-friendly option when the ship is changing its home port. If you want haute cuisine you may want to opt for a boutique cruise line, but again the Caribbean can accommodate you. And finally, if you’re looking for a quick burst of fun, consider a three- or five-night cruise.
Cruises offer a lot of bang for your travel buck, and there are cruises for every age range and travel style.
All-inclusive resorts
Think of a cruise ship that doesn’t cruise anywhere. That’s what an all-inclusive resort promises.
All-inclusives claim to cover everything, and they generally do, except for gratuities, basics like laundry, and perhaps some extra-fare items like spa visits or special excursions. What’s nice about these resorts is they can provide an extra layer of luxury that can be tailored to the travelers’ preferences. All-inclusives can be big, family-oriented and activity-packed, like some of the large resorts in the Bahamas, or they can be small and simple. They can be geared toward holistic healing and rejuvenation, they can focus on ecotourism, or they can simply deliver 24/7 pampering.
Mother-daughter all-inclusive vacations are popular for those very reasons: Whatever you want to experience, there’s likely an all-inclusive that can deliver it.

National parks
It’s almost like cheating to keep coming back to America’s national parks, but they offer so many different types of experiences that it’s easy for a mom-daughter duo to find something that suits them.
Bryce Canyon and Zion parks in Utah are some of the West’s most popular parks for good reasons: They’re accessible and scenic, and deliver incredible vistas no matter your age or activity level. The same applies to the Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah in the east, and the Sequoias and Acadia on either coast.
America’s national parks are one of the country’s greatest treasures – and who better to hunt for treasure than a mom and her daughter?

London
London is one of the world’s best cities to get around and walk around, and it never fails to provide some morsel of delight, be it Harrods or Buckingham Palace. That makes it an ideal destination for mother-daughter travel.
Younger-side daughters and moms can thrill to the changing of the guard, Big Ben, and all the trappings of royalty. Older travelers can also thrill to the shopping, the fashion, the beauty and the style of some of London’s more posh shopping areas. There’s fine dining if you want it, though the culinary highlight for many daughters and moms will be a high tea, regardless of your feelings towards tea. The frippery that goes with afternoon tea is the highlight here, not what you actually eat and drink.
A lot of what was said about New York applies to London, especially the part about when to visit. You likely wont be visiting London for the climate, so go in the off-season and reap the savings.

Paris
The same goes for Paris. It’s all about strolling around the Eiffel Tower, exploring the Left Bank, going to museums and shopping, and dining at a sidewalk café.
There’s a lot of fun in it if you’re the right sort of traveler – like a mother and daughter who yearn to try out their French, love styles and fashion, crave French pastry, and have always wanted to see the Louvre.
Paris can get crazy crowded from late April onward, and over Spring Break, so you need to plan your travels carefully to work around schedules and see Paris at its best – ideally when the flowers are out, the wind is mild, and the tourists are all back home.

Nashville
If you prefer a little more up-tempo mother-daughter vacation, Nashville is worth considering.
Nashville is exploding in popularity. It seems that every big country star either has their own club in Nashville or is appearing somewhere in Nashville, and there is literally music everywhere. Who is a Nashville mom-daughter vacation designed for? Music fans – not just country music fans. People who enjoy line-dancing. People who crave a more down-home, relatable destination. Nashville lets you lean into the craziness that is Music Row but also lets you get away from it all at some surprisingly luxurious retreats.
To use a music metaphor, Nashville is no longer a one-note destination. It’s a full-blown symphony.
