long vacations

Weeks away traveling

Long vacations are extended periods away from work or school, typically lasting weeks rather than days.

The phrase often refers specifically to the summer break at universities: The long vacation gave her time to finish her thesis.

In legal contexts, particularly British, it denotes the summer recess when courts are not in session.
