Best prepaid travel card

After years of going to Spain twice a year, me and the other half have decided it's time to visit the world 
Is there a one stop card I can load up with my chosen currency before we depart with a majority of our spending money so we aren't travelling with lots of cash.
We currently use our Santander debit card in Spain (plus cash we take with us) but i'm aware that may not be the best way to do it.
We currently have Amsterdam and Las Vegas booked in so would need euros/dollars first off
Thanks

You don't need to 'load' any currency, losing on the exchange rate and again to change any leftover back again. Keep your money in pounds, converting at the best rates only when you use the card(s), such as Monzo, Loot, Revolut or Starling Bank. Don't rely on only one.Evolution, not revolution0
