Australians are shunning the stay at home festive season in favour of an overseas holiday, Intrepid Travel has revealed.

To cater for the exodus, Intrepid Travel has more than doubled its family trips with 40 Christmas holidays departing between 20 and 27 December 2018, up from 16 last year.

“Travellers are choosing to leave the festive fuss behind. So pick a place, pass us one buck and we will take care of all the details,”Intrepid Travel regional director APAC Brett Mitchell said.

Festive family itineraries are on offer to 12 destinations from Iceland to India and Costa Rica to Cambodia. Vietnam is the ‘it’ destination to date however, with Vietnam Family Holiday, Vietnam Family Holiday with Comfort and Vietnam Family Holiday with teenagers the three most popular Intrepid family itineraries.

Families aren’t the only ones leaving home for the festive season with solo travel being popular at this time of year. Lone travellers are making moves on Sri Lanka this Christmas with best selling itineraries Circle Sri Lanka and Cycle Sri Lanka.

Rounding out the top five solo trips over Christmas are the Best of Cuba trip, the Winter Trans-Siberian Adventure and a Northern Indiaitinerary.

The Russian Expedition is a wild card entry for this time of year, and indicates Australian travellers are keen to experience a white Christmas.

To make it easier for travellers to commit to a proper break this Christmas, Intrepid is currently offering a $1 deposit deal on trips.

On sale from 15 August to 30 September 2018, travellers can secure their place on any Intrepid small group adventure or short break for just one dollar.
