There are plenty of prepaid currency cards out there now - these can be a great option but make sure you research your destination. Some countries deal better with card payments than others. Even if you are only planning to use it to withdraw cash, you may want to check on the availability of ATMs and which cards that they accept.
Do check the rates when you are ordering currency online, some are better than others.
