Inside this issue — Spring & Summer 2026
"The best family trips are not the ones where everything goes perfectly. They are the ones where something opens — in a child, in a grandparent, in the space between generations that daily life rarely makes room for."
— DESIREE PALMER, FOUNDING EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
What's inside
Luxury Family Travel in 2026
Why families are no longer booking destinations — they're booking moments, and getting very specific about which ones matter.
The Multigenerational Moment
Three generations, one itinerary. How the trip that includes everyone is becoming the trip that defines everything.
Beyond the Crowds
Eight destinations smart families are choosing in 2026 — and why they're quietly passing on the places everyone else is rushing toward.
Hotel Watchlist: 2026
La Réserve Firenze, Zannier Bendor, Four Seasons Red Sea, Grand Hyatt Cayman, and more — evaluated against the Harper's Touch standard.
The Cultural Moment
Hamilton's West End debut, V&A East London, the Nat Geo Museum of Exploration, and every experience worth building a trip around this season.
All Aboard
The grand family journey by rail — Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Rocky Mountaineer, Belmond Royal Scotsman, and Harper's own Scotland dispatch.
Harper Was Here
Kenya, Japan, Israel — three countries, three moments that changed her. In her own words, what travel is actually for.
La Famille
The platform the luxury family travel industry never built — and why Harper's World is building it now.
