What’s the most expensive holiday/vacation you have been on?

[TomLee475]

i think mine was back in 2011 in Greece for £800 for a week for 4 of us.

I went on a holiday (I was nannying) that cost over £90k for 3 weeks. Totally amazing! 🏝

Our big pre children holiday. 2.5k to Venezuela when you could still travel there. Flights over the Angel Falls (El Sapo) etc. Developed my phobia of flying on the way there..!!!!

£4k on a week in Iceland. Snorkeling the Crack in the World, whales, Geysir & Strokkur, the hollow volcano, superjeeping across a glacier.

Ibiza long weekends are the most expensive trips I do on a Lee night basis. Easy do 1.5k on 3/4 nights.

7k roughly on a family trip to Florida / Walt Disney world earlier this year.

The tran-siberian, last winter, but it was nowhere near some of these prices.

£14k on our honeymoon. 3 weeks travelling around the USA. Visited 5 different states and 6 different cities. Ended in Vegas which was nearly £4k of it. We'll never be able to do it again but I wouldn't change anything about it.

I spent less backpacking in Australia for 7 months than I did for two weeks in Florida!

3 days in Hawaii then 2 weeks travelling round Aus followed by 3 days in LA, including visiting Disneyland and Universal Studios. Family trip in 1992. I expect that was expensive.
We did it again in 1996 but visited Bangkok and Bali instead of USA.

With DH and kids £8.5k to Florida.

2 months in Asia as a family of 6. Business class flights, extreme luxury hotels. Four Seasons, Ritz, Banyon Tree.
And I won’t be confessing how much it cost.

Just under 5k for a family of 5, 14 nights AI at the Holiday Village in Turkey.

I wouldn’t go again.

50K ,7m gap year around the world trip after DH finished his degree . He lost 3 of his grandparents in a very short time around the time I met him and even his parents thought it was a good idea and money well spent . We had the most amazing trip of a lifetime doing every activity under the sun from sky diving and learning to fly helicopters to whale watching and saw so much driving more than half way around the world in those months but it was exhausting too and now I only ever want to go away for 3 w max with the kids at a time . It all feels like a dream since it was 18 y ago but DH took thousands of pictures so they bring it all back . We spent 3 w in California driving all around it plus going to Las Vegas , a month and a half over Christmas in Hawaii on 3 islands ( my husband windsurfs and surfs) , New Years 10 d in Fiji , 6 w on both islands of New Zealand , 2 and 1/2 m in Australia, a week in Bali Indonesia , 5 d in Singapore and a week in Hong Kong . Am grateful for the experiences especially since I have now health problems and couldn’t really do most of the stuff we did on that trip !

Singapore @ The Shangri-La for 2 weeks - amazing... Reethi Rah in The Maldives for 1 week - beautiful place, utterly lacking in atmosphere/too honeymooney (which I KNOW lots of Maldivian Islands are, but we've stayed in others which were far more relaxed/warmer/more vibrant...

Ulusaba (Richard Branson's Game Reserve) in South Africa..stunningly beautiful but I was soooo ill during the whole stay from a bad reaction to anti-malarial drugs🤦🏻‍♀️hardly saw ANY of it/the animals

Flippedoff - any chance of the name of your travel agent?

This summer, when I had a 3k month booked in India & Nepal & then some eejit (I'm blaming the dc because if it was my housekeeper she'd be so mortified) tipped a bottle of water over my passport. Which I'd left handily on my bedside table. 2 days before I was due to fly.

& nope, as an expat, I couldn't get a replacement in time. Nor did my insurance cover it.

Lesson learned.

So, no lovely holiday for me this year. Three months savings down the drain.

That aside, SE Asia last year. Which was great.

For those booking business class/virgin upper - we used a company that used a points system for business travel - saved around 25/30% off the 'standard' price

3 weeks west coast road trip, California/Nevada/Arizona. I’d love to go back and take in more of Utah and Colarado. Fell in love with mountains and desert. It cost around £4k for two of us, including flights and accommodation. It was inheritance money and our prekids adventure, although we didn’t explicitly say that. I thought that we spent loads but reading this thread makes me feel a bit better!

I've lost all perspective. We used to go to centre parks (outside holidays) for £350per week. We haven't been on a proper holiday in years. I'm currently looking at our first holiday abroad during school holidays and anything that looks decent, seems to be £500+ per person (meaning 2-3k).

I spent about £5k on six months gap year in India. It was fantastic!!!

Then I had 9 months backpacking round Australia, I don't know how much that cost but I worked my way round for most of it, doing temp jobs like waitressing, bar work, factory work, etc. I had an amazing time, worth every penny!

That I've paid for £3000 for Disney with DP. Paid for me? £20,000 Maldives trip with work 😍

Travelled across America from Boston, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Vegas, California, Oregon and Seattle...

Holiday cost £4000 and the hotels were amazing, luxury even. Internal flights around £1000 or a bit more...went to NASA, bourbon street, budget Vegas spending, Newport Beach to pretend I was in the OC

Spending money around £2500

So £7500 for the trip of a lifetime and don't regret a penny

I spent 8 months travelling all over Asia, I went to lots of countries, I had so many amazing experiences but I also shopped, ate and drank a lot. I booked my accommodation as I went, mostly budget places, but some nice hotels too. I spent £6,000 in total.

Honeymoon to Texas including spending money £5k. But everywhere we went we thought kids would love this! So taking them next year which will be £6k total. That is a lot for us. We don't usually do abroad holidays and actually my honeymoon 2 years ago was the first abroad holiday I've been on since I was 14 and I'm now 30.

@Mother87 dm if you're serious, she's amazing

With DCs, Disneyworld. Without, my honeymoon to Malaysia. We had a 2-day stopover in Singapore and stayed in the poshest hotel I've ever been in. We had a personal butler!

I went to Maldives about 25 years ago. It was tacked onto the end of a trip to Sri Lanka by the travel agent and was, relatively cheap. I would love to go back but it's ££££ these days.
