Thanksgiving 2026 Family Trip Prices: What a Family of 4 Really Pays

Thanksgiving week is one of the few times the whole family is off school and work. Here is what Nov 21–28, 2026 actually costs 2 adults and 2 kids in eight popular places, from real searches we ran in October. Every row links to the full price page with each resort or sailing.

The short answer

The cheapest typical Thanksgiving week was Orlando at $910; the most expensive was Jamaica at $6,418. All-inclusive prices include food and drinks, which hotel prices don't. Flights for 4 are extra everywhere except the cruise if you can drive to the port. With about four weeks to go, the cheapest rooms and cabins are the first to sell out.
