Life rarely slows down on its own. Between careers, family, and calendars that are constantly booked, it’s easy to lose those unhurried moments with your significant other.

We understand—our clients come to us needing a break from the real world to spend one-on-one time with their spouse, explore the world, and unwind.

An anniversary trip is your chance to pause, toast to what you’ve built, and step away from the everyday—just the two of you.

After more than a decade of planning milestone journeys for couples, these are the best anniversary trip destinations we return to time and again—places that feel as meaningful as the moment you’re celebrating. Inspired by traditional anniversary gifts, here’s how to mark each chapter of your marriage with travel that feels worthy of the occasion.

*Keep in mind that these are just suggestions. We are more than happy to work with you to research and plan the perfect anniversary trip for you and your spouse.

Traditional Anniversary Gifts By Year

Every milestone year is assigned a material or theme to symbolize the growth and depth of your relationship over time.

Your first anniversary is new and exciting, yet still fragile, as you merge your lives for the first time.

Alternatively, your sixtieth anniversary has stood the test of time and is a precious thing to celebrate.

If you’re already feeling a little overwhelmed about picking a vacation destination, our ideas are inspired by the traditional anniversary gifts by year.

Top 1-Year Anniversary Celebration Trips

Your first anniversary is new, exciting, and still taking shape—much like a blank page. Paper symbolizes the delicate beauty of something just beginning. It can last a lifetime and is full of opportunity (like a blank page) if cared for properly.

Some of the best anniversary trip destinations for year one are:

Paris, France: A classic romantic trip for couples. Sip champagne at a sidewalk café, wander hand-in-hand through the Luxembourg Gardens, and end the evening with a private Seine River cruise under glittering lights.
Kyoto, Japan: Fold delicate origami love notes together in a serene Kyoto garden, then learn the art of Japanese calligraphy side by side in a centuries-old studio—leaving with keepsakes as beautiful as your memories.
New York City, USA: Catch a Broadway matinee in a velvet-lined theater, browse rare first editions in a cozy corner of The Strand, and soak up the buzz of the city with a twilight stroll through Times Square, hand in hand.

The Best 5-Year Anniversary Vacation Ideas

Five years bring strength and steady roots. Wood reflects a marriage that’s weathered its share of seasons and grown stronger for it. It symbolizes strength, deep roots, and a solid foundation.

Consider one of these vacation destinations for your fifth anniversary:

Banff, Alberta, Canada: Wake up in a timber-framed lodge with panoramic mountain views, paddle across the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, and end the day wrapped in a blanket by the fire, watching alpenglow fade over the Rockies.
Asheville, North Carolina, USA: Sip local cider on the porch of your mountaintop cabin, hike hand in hand through rhododendron-lined trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and explore downtown galleries bursting with color and creativity.
Sweden Lapland: Snuggle up in a glass-roofed cabin under a blanket of stars, race across frozen landscapes on a husky sled, and end your night watching the northern lights dance above snow-dusted pines.

Romantic 10-Year Anniversary Trips

Tin signifies resilience, flexibility, and preservation, just like a decade-long marriage. Your relationship has been tested and bent under pressure, but not broken.

These are a few of the best anniversary trip destinations to celebrate this milestone:

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Tango beneath the stars in a candlelit courtyard, explore the faded grandeur of San Telmo’s cobblestone streets, and toast your love with Malbec in a tucked-away parilla.

Adventurous 15-Year Anniversary Trip Ideas

Fifteen years brings clarity of shared dreams, values, and the beauty of the life you’ve built together. Crystal sparkles with that refined sense of love.

Travel to one of these locations to celebrate your 15-year anniversary:

Exciting 20-Year Anniversary Vacations

Here are some of the best anniversary trip destinations to consider to celebrate your 20th anniversary:

Beijing, China: Explore ancient history and modern flair. Take home actual fine china or porcelain.
Tokyo, Japan: Traditional tea ceremonies, minimalist design, and fine pottery offer a modern interpretation of china.
