Girls\u2019 weekends are on the rise – with more than a third of women set to go on one in 2024.<\/p>\n
A poll, of 1,000 women, found they typically spend less than an hour a week with their female family or friends.<\/p>\n
So to make up for lost time, 38 percent want to go away on an all-girls trip this year.<\/p>\n
With city breaks spa weekends, beach getaways, and multi-destination cruises all popular.<\/p>\n
Commissioned by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the study found the typical girls trip involves shopping, spa treatments, a drink at a bar or pub as well as an evening at the theatre or a concert.<\/p>\n
Spain, Italy, and Greece are the most favoured European destinations, while long-haul destinations like the United States and the Maldives are also popular.<\/p>\n
Karen Sequeira, from the cruise operator, which sails to Rome, Barcelona, Cannes and Ibiza, Greece and the Greek Isles, Alaska, and the Hawaiian Islands, said: \u201cThe survey has revealed that women long to travel and connect with their female friends and family members.<\/p>\n
\u201cA trip at sea embodies all the ‘feel-good elements’ – the ability to ‘switch off’, relax in the spa, saviour cuisine from all four corners of the globe and of course, discover new destinations together.\u201d<\/p>\n
The best things about girls\u2019 trips include the chance to have a real catch-up (54 percent), get away from day-to-day worries, (48 percent) and enjoy shared experiences together (32 percent).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Just over two thirds (69 percent) think these types of breaks are worthwhile – with more than half (52 percent) coming back feeling refreshed.<\/p>\n
While 48 percent said they leave having a closer bond with their friends.<\/p>\n
And this might explain why 64 percent prefer to maximise their time with their pals by opting for shared accommodation.<\/p>\n
Although 20 percent admit they\u2019d prefer their own room.<\/p>\n
It also emerged 41 percent are planning to spend Galentine\u2019s Day – a social holiday celebrating female friendships – by going for dinner at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
While 24 percent are planning a girls\u2019 trip.<\/p>\n
A further 45 percent believe the day is a great occasion to connect with girl pals and celebrate their connection.<\/p>\n
And of those who took part in the study, via OnePoll.com, 50 percent said the best things about their female friendships is having a laugh and 25 percent like that they can forget their worries.<\/p>\n
Karen Sequeira of Norwegian Cruise Line, which sails to more than 450 destinations across the globe, offering both multi-bedroom suites and solo accommodation, said: \u201cWe take great pride in delivering a variety of experiences for all of our guests, to provide them with memory-making holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
