Learn why travelers are trading beaches for fjords, glaciers, and cool northern coastlines this summer
|

As summers grow hotter and top travel destinations get more crowded, many travelers are rethinking where the season is best spent. Increasingly, the answer is a coolcation: a trip that embraces cooler climates instead of warmer ones, trading sunbaked beaches for calving glaciers, the midnight sun, and coastlines carved by ice.

Explore the top four destinations for a perfect coolcation this summer and find the one that suits you best.

You don't need to cross an ocean to trade heat for glaciers. In Alaska, watch them calve into the sea, spot whales breaching, and swap sunbaked cities for Kenai Fjords and Denali with near-endless daylight during summer. From Inside Passage sailings to cruisetours deep into the interior, it's a natural fit for anyone chasing natural wonders.

In Iceland, summers stay cool and comfortable, swapping heat and crowds for black-sand coasts, glacier hikes, thundering waterfalls, and geothermal lagoons to soak in under a sky that never fully darkens. Whether you circle the island by ship or settle into Reykjavík, it rewards anyone glad to pull on a sweater in the summer.

The Arctic takes the coolcation to its limit. Sail beyond the Arctic Circle to Svalbard, where polar bears cross the pack ice, walruses gather on the shore, and glaciers calve beneath a sun that never sets. Add the ice fjords of Greenland and remote, roadless villages, and you can reach where few travelers ever do.

Few coolcations feel as iconic as Norway's fjords, where sheer cliffs, plunging waterfalls, and 60-degree summer days offer an escape while the rest of Europe swelters. Sail past the Lofoten Islands, glide into Geiranger, and watch the midnight sun stretch across the water long after a southern beach would have sent you indoors.
