It is always great to look back in later years and remind yourself of some special family memories, and many of these treasured moments are often created when taking a once in a lifetime trip.

Hopefully your first memories of a particular holiday won’t be filled with travel problems, such as the flight delays or lost luggage. If you think you could be eligible for compensation, a simple flight compensation calculator can help you find out if you can receive reimbursement for your time and trouble.

Here is a look at some iconic and special destinations to consider if you are trying to plan a family holiday that will live long in the memory of you and your family, too.

Spectacular Sunrises and Active Volcanoes

If you want to take your family to view a spectacular sunset, there are a number of potential venues that tick that particular box, but if you want to enhance the view beyond what you might imagine, head to Hawaii.

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to volcanoes in Hawaii and perhaps top of the list might be Big Island’s Volcanoes National Park. You can get a tour group that will take you up to the top of a volcano and look down into the crater from your vantage point. Combine that with a glorious sunrise and you have a magical family memory that is hard to top.

Kids Love Castles

Castles tend to feature heavily in childhood stories so it is easy to understand how exciting it would be to take your child to stay in a genuine castle.

You might not be able to stay in Hogwarts, but Harry Potter fans will soon forget their disappointment if you take the German Fairytale Route for example, where you can rekindle some iconic stories and really capture your child’s imagination.

In the UK, Ashford Castle is a great option if you want to spend a night with your family in a genuine castle, but enjoy some of the comforts of modern amenities.

There’s Something for Everyone in Italy

Venice would probably not strike you as the most obvious family holiday destination, but sometimes you can find a compromise when building a dream family vacation package.

Venice might be for couples but it is an historic city that is enchanting to people of all ages, so the plan would be to head for Marina Venezia, which offers a free water park amidst a plethora of other family-orientated options, spend some quality family time on the beach, then grab a vaporetto to the city of Venice.

That way you get a holiday package that allows parents the chance to tick Venice off their bucket list but score plenty of points by basing your stay nearby and close to a huge Adriatic beach.

You never know, your kids might end up talking about their gondola ride as being one of the highlights of their holiday.

Make your list of dream destinations and holiday experiences, then get busy making some amazing family memories, that will be talked about for years, but you are one of the unfortunate travellers who experiences problems with a flight delay or cancellation in or out of Europe, you could be eligible for monetary compensation. Instead of wondering, be sure to use a flight calculator to answer your questions.
