As a family of five, we’ve learnt that choosing the right luggage is almost as important as choosing the destination. Family holidays involve a surprising amount of packing, from swimming costumes and flip flops to trainers, evening clothes, chargers, toiletries and those inevitable “just in case” extras that somehow always make it into the suitcase. Finding luggage that’s spacious enough, durable enough and easy to manoeuvre through busy airports can make the whole journey far less stressful.
That’s exactly what impressed us about the LEVEL8 Voyageur 2 Piece Luggage Set (available here – Use our exclusive code GLOBAL26 to get a 15% discount on your purchase.). Combining a premium look with clever design and practical features, these are suitcases that have clearly been designed by people who understand what modern travellers actually need. Whether you’re heading away for a week in the sun, a family city break or a longer adventure overseas, they’re an excellent option for anyone looking for reliable luggage that should last for years.
First impressions
The first thing we noticed when the Voyageur cases arrived was just how smart they look. The clean lines, subtle branding and elegant Micro-Diamond finish give them a premium feel without being flashy. They look equally at home in an airport lounge, on a cruise ship or being wheeled into a family-friendly resort.
More importantly, though, they feel exceptionally well made. The hard shell is constructed from German-made Makrolon® polycarbonate, which gives the cases a reassuring balance of strength and lightness. They don’t feel bulky or cumbersome, yet they’re clearly designed to cope with the bumps, knocks and baggage handling that every suitcase inevitably experiences.
Plenty of space for family adventures
If you’re travelling as a couple you can often get away with packing fairly lightly. Travelling as a family is a completely different story.
For a typical summer holiday we’re packing clothes for different weather, swimwear, beach shoes, books, sun cream, electrical chargers, toiletries and often sports kit too. Space matters.
The LEVEL8 Voyageur cases offer plenty of it.
The two large packing compartments make organising everything straightforward, while the internal compression system keeps clothes neatly in place and helps maximise every available inch of space. One feature we particularly appreciated is the wider handle design. Many suitcases lose valuable packing space because of the internal handle housing, but LEVEL8 has cleverly designed the handle to create a much flatter interior, giving you noticeably more usable room.
For families, that extra capacity really adds up. It often means fitting in those last few outfits without sitting on the suitcase to close it.
Designed for organised packing
One feature we quickly came to appreciate was the thoughtful interior layout. Rather than simply offering one large empty compartment, the Voyageur includes practical dividers and a dedicated dry-wet separation pocket.
This proved particularly useful on holiday. Damp swimwear, gym kit or toiletries could be kept separate from clean clothes, helping everything stay organised throughout the trip. Instead of opening the suitcase and rummaging around every morning, everything had its own place.
It’s a simple idea, but one that makes family travel feel much less chaotic.
Smooth, quiet and easy to handle
Dragging heavy luggage through airports can easily become one of the least enjoyable parts of travelling, particularly when you’re also keeping an eye on children or carrying hand luggage.
Thankfully, this is where the Voyageur really excels.
The ultra-quiet 360-degree spinner wheels glide effortlessly across airport floors, hotel lobbies and pavements, even when the cases are fully packed. They change direction smoothly and require very little effort to manoeuvre, making them ideal for weaving through busy terminals.
The sturdy aluminium telescopic handle feels comfortable in the hand and extends smoothly without any wobble. Combined with the excellent wheels, the whole suitcase feels balanced and easy to control.
After several journeys, we appreciated just how much easier these cases made moving through airports compared with older luggage.
Built to last
Buying luggage is an investment, so durability matters.
The German-made Makrolon® polycarbonate shell feels reassuringly robust while remaining lightweight enough to avoid adding unnecessary weight before you’ve even started packing. The Micro-Diamond textured finish also helps disguise everyday scratches and marks, keeping the cases looking smart despite regular use.
Security has also been well considered. The puncture-resistant YKK zip feels exceptionally strong, while the integrated TSA-approved lock provides added reassurance for international travel, particularly when checking luggage into the hold.
Every component feels solid and thoughtfully engineered rather than simply designed to look attractive.
Packing cubes that make a difference
Alongside the luggage, we also tried the LEVEL8 six-piece Packing Cube Travel Set (available here), and it’s one of those travel accessories that quickly becomes something you wonder how you ever managed without.
Rather than everything being piled together inside the suitcase, each family member can have their own cubes, or you can organise by category such as tops in one, swimwear in another, underwear and socks in a third.
For a family holiday this makes a difference. Instead of unpacking your entire suitcase to find one item, you simply remove the relevant packing cube. Hotel wardrobes stay tidier, mornings become quicker and repacking at the end of the holiday is much easier.
The cubes themselves are well made from water-resistant fabric that helps protect clothing from damp items or accidental spills. They also hold their shape well, are lightweight and can simply be washed once you’re home ready for the next trip.
Perfect for family holidays
What impressed us most about the LEVEL8 Voyageur set is that every design choice feels practical rather than gimmicky.
The spacious interior makes packing easier. The compression system helps fit more inside. The spinner wheels make travelling less tiring. The durable shell offers confidence that your belongings will arrive safely. Even small details like the dry-wet pocket and improved handle layout make a noticeable difference during real-world family travel.
Whether you’re heading to Spain for a beach holiday, exploring the USA on a road trip, taking a European city break or embarking on a cruise, these are suitcases that feel ready for almost any adventure.
Finding the best family suitcase is about making travel easier from the moment you start packing until you arrive back home.
The LEVEL8 Voyageur 2 Piece Luggage Set succeeds on every level. It’s stylish without sacrificing practicality, spacious without feeling oversized and packed with thoughtful features that improve the travel experience. Add the excellent six-piece Packing Cube Travel Set and you have a luggage combination that keeps everything organised, protected and easy to find throughout your holiday.
If you’re looking to upgrade your family luggage before your next adventure, the LEVEL8 Voyageur set is an investment that should reward you for many years to come. For families who travel regularly, it’s difficult to find a better balance of quality, thoughtful design and everyday practicality.
