Senior Cruises

Why cruising suits the over-50s
A cruise removes the hassle from travel. There are no daily transfers or hotel changes, meals are taken care of and help is always nearby. Days can be as active or as gentle as you choose, from guided tours ashore to talks, classes and afternoon tea on board.

No-fly cruises from the UK
Sailing from Southampton, Dover or other UK ports means no airports or long transfers. Drive to the port, check in your luggage and your holiday starts there. Popular no-fly routes include the Norwegian fjords, the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and round-Britain cruises.

Cruise lines to consider
Ambassador Cruise Line sails from UK ports with a relaxed, adult-focused feel. Cunard offers classic voyages, ballroom dancing and Insights talks from guest speakers. P&O Cruises' Arcadia and Aurora are adult-only for most of the year, and Holland America Line is known for its mid-sized ships and live music. For longer adventures, many lines offer grand voyages and world cruises.

Comfort and accessibility on board
Most modern ships have lifts to every deck, accessible cabins and a medical centre on board. If you have specific needs, mention them when booking so the cruise line can help. Explore cruises for seniors below and book online whenever suits you.
