Consider this your sign to start thinking about where to travel in February. (It'll be here before we know it.) Whether you're looking for a romantic escape or a solo adventure, the shortest month of the year is a fantastic time to travel. Why? A trip in February gives you something to look forward to, and breaks up what can sometimes be a rather long (and drab) stretch of winter, depending on where you live. We're already seeing a bevy of bookings among our community, and a few trends have emerged.
Read on to learn what's trending for February travel. Then, connect with Fora to plan and book your February getaway today .
Cruises never go out of style (and February cruises are as hot as ever)

Cruises are trending for January, and again for February. (Are cruises never not trending?)
Our cruise crown jewel, Virgin Voyages, is our #1 cruise partner for February 2024 travel. And following our Virgin Voyages FAM trip back in May, we understand why the adults-only cruise line is so popular. You won't see a buffet on board: in fact, many of the menus were created by renowned chefs, such as Brad Farmerie (of PUBLIC in NYC) and Sohui Kim (of The Good Fork and Insa in NYC). The design is sleek and sexy, the entertainment and nightlife cannot be beat and the good vibes are pervasive.
For something more family-friendly, opt for a February cruise with Royal Caribbean, another one of our top three cruise lines for February 2024. With giant waterparks, med spas, sprawling pool areas, themed suites and more, members of every generation will be happy here.
Another fan favorite is Norwegian Cruise Line, also one of our top three cruise partners for February 2024. NCL is all about allowing guests to choose their own adventure. There are many dining and entertainment options on board, but no need to plan ahead. In other words, you can truly live in the moment, which is what vacations are for, after all.
Booking a romantic hotel (for a partner or yourself) is the best way to celebrate love in February

Charming, romantic hotels in the US are popular among Fora's community this time of year (and make for the best Valentine's Day gifts, just saying).
Among our top-10 hotels for February 2024 is the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. This luxe desert resort draws much of its architectural influence from Frank Lloyd Wright. Today, guests can golf, swim and dine at a number of restaurants ranging from casual to date-night-worthy. (Another plus: the Arizona Biltmore is a pet-friendly hotel.)
Another top-10 community pick is Primland, Auberge Resorts Collection, a five-star escape in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. (See more of the best Auberge resorts.) Here, stargaze from the onsite Observatory, try your hand at archery, enjoy complimentary hikes and yoga classes, toast s'mores by the fire...the list goes on. Primland is a luxurious hidden gem, and a delightful nature escape.

It's a perfect (and romantic) urban getaway in the heart of NOLA's up-and-coming Warehouse District.

It's no secret Fora loves the Four Seasons brand. And for next year, we're already seeing a healthy number of bookings at a few of our favorite Four Seasons hotels.
A handsomely renovated 20th-century mansion and a connecting modern high-rise house the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires, located in the city's glamorous Recoleta neighborhood. Here, accommodations are crisp and elegant. And did we mention the hotel is home to the excellent restaurant Elena, the only hotel restaurant on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list?
The hacienda-style Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City is centered on a serene courtyard, the perfect retreat after exploring CDMX's vibrant neighborhoods. (The hotel is a short walk away from both Condesa and Polanco.) Don't miss a cocktail at the effortlessly cool gastrobar Fifty Mils, or the fresh seafood paired with locally sourced produce at the breezy ZANAYA restaurant.
Few lodges can claim a more ideal location than Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, in the heart of Teton Village. World-class skiing is right outside your door (the snow-capped, rugged Tetons are certainly a sight to behold). After a day spent hitting the slopes, recover at the resort's sumptuous spa. Opt for a cozy dinner at Westbank Grill for refined steakhouse favorites, or at Ascent Lounge for Asian cuisine paired with expertly crafted cocktails.
