The poll found that 11 per cent adventure was a good figure

And eight per cent would be attributed to making memories that last a lifetime, with six per cent on trying new things and experiences.

However, four in 10 Brits polled have yet to experience their own “perfect” trip.

The research was commissioned by Cruise Line as part of a collaboration with first-time cruisers Matt and , who boarded the Disney Fantasy to experience it just before the ship arrives in the UK for its first-ever European season.

And the couple took on a series of challenges set by friends including Colleen Rooney and Rob Beckett, going head-to-head on board before its departure from Southampton on July 31.

A spokesperson from the entertainment and travel corporation said: “We all dream of that perfect holiday – a chance to switch off, reconnect, and soak up new experiences.

“Whether it’s adventure, culture, relaxation or simply spending quality time with loved ones, it’s clear everyone’s idea of the ‘perfect break’ is a little different.

“But when the magic comes together, it’s unforgettable.”

It also emerged 55 per cent said their life goal was, or is, to go on the perfect holiday with partners and children being the top people to go with.

Locations they’d like to visit on the dream trip included serene beaches, tropical islands, and historic landmarks.

While 38 per cent would like to visit multiple locations while away, with three to four different spots being ideal, according to the OnePoll data.

And 31 per cent said a cruise would be their perfect mode of and would be willing to travel seven hours to reach their ideal destination.

An average of 147 pictures would be taken to capture their memories, with the aim to have nine special or magical moments while away.

An average temperature of 23 degrees was deemed ideal, with clear blue skies throughout.

While 79 per cent thought the perfect trip would include the right mix of excitement and downtime.

Of parents polled, 45 per cent said they book their with their children in mind, with 60 per cent of those believing if parenting is made easier, then by default it’s a dream trip.

And 64 per cent of all respondents said they were in need of their dream holiday.

The Disney Cruise Line Fantasy cruise ship will offer shows and deck parties with its characters as well as offering adult-only spaces.

Its spokesperson added: “We believe the perfect holiday really can exist – one that blends relaxation, adventure, entertainment, and quality family time all in one – bringing it all together in one extraordinary experience.”
