Cruise Vacations | Life Aboard | Activities for seniors

Sail through your silver years in a more serene cruising environment.

Senior travellers who don't want to be stuck with rowdy college kids or screaming children can take solace in the fact that several cruise lines take great satisfaction in offering a quiet, hassle-free atmosphere.

Cruise lines catering to older cruisers give them the opportunity to appreciate a slower-paced cruise that places an emphasis on hospitality and leisure.

These cruise lines include Cunard Line, Holland America Line and Swan Hellenic Cruises. Swan Hellenic even offers child free cruises.

Activities aboard these ships include:

• Dancing at socials
• Embarking on shore excursions
• Playing cards
• Attending cocktail parties
• Interacting with hosts
• Taking fitness classes
• Reading books
• Relaxing in spas
• Listening to lectures and presentations

Seniors with medical needs will appreciate the accessibility of the ship and the standard medical facilities that cater to their needs.

Dining rooms even accommodate low-calorie, low-salt and low-cholesterol diets.
