    2024 is just around the corner (we can't believe it either). And the data are in: we've peeked behind the curtain to determine what's trending for January travel next year.

    From all-inclusive ski in the French Alps to travel to the land down under, here's where our community is heading to kick off 2024 with a bang.

    January cruises are all the rage

    Cruising in January is a convenient (and fun!) way to escape the winter cold, and the winter blues.

    Our community is loving Royal Caribbean, which is the family-friendly cruise, and one of our top three cruise lines for January 2024 travel. Start 2024 with a cruise to the Caribbean (there are tons of itineraries to choose from, which Fora can help you with), the South Pacific or Mexico.

    Family-friendly not quite your vibe? Opt for a Virgin Voyages adults-only cruise, also one of our top-three cruise lines for January. (And read more about our Virgin Voyages FAM trip from this year.) Expect gourmet dining (many of the food venues are helmed by Michelin-Starred chefs), sophisticated wellness offerings (spa, gym, wrap-around running track, free fitness classes), A+ entertainment and a positive, fun ethos of "you do you." Virgin has been known to convert even the most anti-cruise travelers.

    Club Med Tignes: your all-inclusive answer to a ski vacation in the French Alps

    Tignes, France

    Club Med Tignes is our community's #1 hotel for January travel next year. There's something to be said for a one-time, set-it-and-forget-it price: you get to focus on enjoying your trip, without having to factor in extra or unexpected charges.

    At Club Med Tignes, located in Val Claret, the highest hamlet in the Tignes station de ski, all meals (and all-day snacking), lift passes, group ski / snowboarding lessons and bar service are included. There are also à-la-carte included activities like yoga, wellness workshops and fitness classes.

    The skiing, of course, is world-class. Explore 186 miles of terrain across 154 runs, with options for all levels. And Club Med Tignes is ski-in / ski-out, meaning hitting the slopes is blissfully convenient.

    Tropical escapes are the best post-holiday gift you didn't know you needed

    After the holidays have wrapped up, we all need something to look forward to, which is why a tropical escape in January is always a good idea. Our community is jetting off to Miami (check out some of the best hotels in Miami), Mexico and Panama, in particular.

    Head to The Standard Spa, Miami Beach for an adults-only wellness moment in Miami. In Mexico, we love Naviva for an ultra-special holistic retreat. And in Panama, head to Isla Palenque for a tranquil private-island escape.

    January is mid-summer in Oceania, and Fora's community got the hint. Now is the time for a trans-international escape to the Land Down Under.

    In Sydney, Park Hyatt Sydney and Four Seasons Hotel Sydney are fantastic options, both right on the Sydney Harbor. Lizard Island Resort is a dreamy escape located on the Great Barrier Reef, and The Langham, Melbourne, serves as an excellent home base from which to explore the state of Victoria's bustling capital.

    In New Zealand, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, in the idyllic Hawke's Bay, is a rural, cozy paradise, complete with a globally renowned golf course and nourishing cuisine sourced from the lodge's own gardens.
