The Bahamas

Enjoy access to all-inclusive resorts at a fantastic price.
  1. Multiple resort options - There are plenty of places and hotels to choose from for a vacation in the Bahamas. The Atlantis resort is one of the top deals and Costco members can book at one of the five hotels within the property. Booking through Costco gets you access to the pools, waterpark, and amenities. Some spots are adults-only, such as certain pools and the casino area.
  2. Extra credits - Because the vacation packages at the Bahamas are at all-inclusive resorts, food and beverages are often included. But Costco members get even more extras, such as the resort fees and hotel tax, which is usually added onto the bill. Some packages include hotel credits while others come with Costco shopping cards to use before or after your vacation. If you’re a Costco executive member, you can also get an extra 2% Costco credit reward on your purchase.

Disneyland

Get extra credits and deals when you book a Disneyland vacation package through Costco.
  1. Deals on tickets - Disney can be a pricey vacation, but booking with Costco comes with a few perks. One of those is special pricing for one-day kid tickets for the youngest visitors. Children between the ages of three and nine can get tickets for just $50, making this a stand-out deal for families looking to experience the magic of the parks. You can also get 20% or more off your stay at one of the Disneyland resorts, depending on how long you stay and when.
  2. Credit for merch - Once you’re in the park, getting those special souvenirs can add up. Costco members can get a gift card to use on retail and dining in the parks. The exact amount depends on how long you are staying and you have to book a room at one of the Disney resorts for your stay. But with a gift card of a couple of hundred dollars to use toward meals and merch, this perk can definitely make your stay more magical.
  3. Early park entry - One of the best ways to beat the crowds at Disneyland is to get the early park entry pass. They are included in the Costco Disneyland vacation package. Your entire group gets to go into the parks a full 30 minutes early, letting you see the sights and get in line for rides before the mad rush at opening. This is also the perfect time to hit up the best breakfast spots to get a bite to eat.

South Africa Safari

Enjoy a guided safari to see majestic wildlife and sweeping views in South Africa.
  1. Small group travel - This tour provides exclusive access to amenities due to its small group size. Most groups include between six and eight guests, so everyone is able to fully participate in the vacation without vying for a good view or seat. You’ll get to know your fellow travelers in a deeper way as you go on this once-in-a-lifetime journey together.
  2. Amazing experiences - Lion World Travel arranges everything from sightseeing in Cape Town to a safari in the Kapama Private Game Reserve. The tour includes multiple days in Cape Town and multiple open-air vehicle rides each day in the game reserve. All food and beverages are part of the package, including a three-course dinner at the upscale Azure Restaurant.
  3. Included extras - When you book through Costco, you get a complimentary Cape Peninsula Tour with Table Mountain. In the package, you’ll also enjoy a personalized tour through Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner, with his own guard and later friend as a guide.

Italian History Tour

This is a stand-out among the many Your Way package offerings.
  1. Historic sites - This tour has all the highlights of a vacation to Italy, including Rome, the Vatican, Florence, and Venice. The package includes rail travel, which is a great way to see the Italian countryside as you go between these three top tourist destinations. Because it’s part of a Your Way package, all of the day-to-day excursions are left to you. This allows ultimate customization while still taking advantage of savings on hotels and travel during your stay. Breakfast is included to help you start your day of adventuring.
  2. Accommodation options - You can decide how you spend your days, but all of your hotels and travel is covered when you book a Your Way tour. When you arrange your travel, you can pick from a few different hotel options at each stop. Booking through Costco gets you special pricing as well as perks like a 2% Costco credit cash back on the expense. Hotels range from 3.5 to 5 stars, but all are located near must-see sites in the three cities.

Cruises with Credits

Set sail on one of the many cruise offerings with special deals for Costco members.
  1. Multiple cruise lines - You can pick the cruise line that caters to your wants and needs, whether it’s a ship known for its epic parties or something more family friendly. Costco partners with 11 cruise lines, including top favorites like Royal Caribbean, Disney, Princess, and Celebrity. When you book, you’re able to not just pick your cruise line and itinerary, but also browse through specific ships of different sizes and with varying amenities. While they don’t maintain a Kirkland Signature cruise ship, you can get special deals and extra shipboard credits when you book through this partnership.
  2. Variety of destinations -  When you search cruises, you can filter by destination. There are plenty of tropical locations, including routes in the Caribbean, but don’t overlook other options as well. You can cruise through Europe, see the natural beauty of Alaska, or enjoy a wine cruise. You can also search by port of departure to see what is convenient to your location. Each Costco cruise comes with a Costco store credit to use before or after your trip as well.

Book a vacation to enjoy time to relax or make new memories with your loved ones. Using Costco’s expert guidance (not to mention the great extras that are included when you book through the warehouse retailer), you’re sure to have the trip of a lifetime.
