What’s everyone’s thoughts about Europe next summer?

[caro]

Those that were able to get holidays abroad this year were very lucky. I had 3 cancelled, one very last minute. That uncertainty, I predict, is likely to continue during the first half of next year.

Having said that, I have a cruise from Italy booked for April (expecting it to be cancelled but amazing if it goes ahead), a week in Spain for Whitsun week (slightly more confident about), a week in Lanzarote for August school holidays (almost certain about) and a week in Florida for October half term (if that doesn't go ahead, we are all in serious trouble!)

And yes, 4 holidays abroad is very excessive...but 2 of these were meant to happen this year but have been moved within the timescales I was allowed, the other 2 were already booked before all this happened! Part of me hopes the cruise in April will be bumped to the following year because I have used up all my holiday entitlement already!

As for Brexit, we may or may not need a visa/esta type thing, but that's easily sorted. We will start getting stamps in our passports again

Hi
I’ll preface this by saying I have a booking to go to Italy in May, cancelled 3 times this year.
After 31st December we will be a considered a “third country” ( unless the EU decides otherwise). If Covid is still prevalent in any form then the Uk would not be allowed entry for tourism, much like the ban on USA citizens into the EU presently.
Given the uncertainty at the moment I would not be booking anything that can’t be easily refunded.

We have Portugal booked for end of April and Barcelona mid June. I'm 50/50 on both of them

Thanks everyone. I think we’re going to book centerparcs (uk) for the end of April, and see what the situation is with Europe. I guess probably less people than normal will be travelling abroad still, so we could still maybe get a good deal.

Europe have somewhat messed up their vaccine orders, putting a lot on the French vaccine that will not actually be available and being well down the queue for some of the others. Fortunately the Oxford will probably see them good. I imagine it will be fine.

They’ve also got Covid mutation now, they just haven’t realised it yet.

See more...

I believe Centre Parcs UK have closed until vaccine is rolled out more widely (heard a snippet on the wireless this morning) so maybe worth holding back at the moment ...

I would make sure you have a cast iron money back plan. We arent planning a foreign holiday in 2021. It will be a year of camping for us, we will be borrowing a camper van and going around N scotland in August.

I went to Germany last year but booked very last minute. Thought at one point that we would have to quarantine on our return, but discovered that if you transit through a country and basically stay in your car then you didn't have to do that.

Planning on going to Germany again if possible, ideally in May for a month or so. Will drive again. But it depends on a couple of things and I will literally book one day and go the next.
