The choice is yours -- of destinations, of ships that offer everything you have always wanted in luxury travel, and more...
There are many reasons for taking a retirement cruise or traveling to a resort destination.
Here is a guide to help you choose which is right for you along with some useful tips on how to make the most of your vacation and making it more affordable through valuable discount programs.
If you are 55 or older, let one of our Luxury cruises consultant know and we will be happy to find you the lowest rate possible.
Everything You Need To Know Before You Go
You've booked your cruise. Now make it all that you want it to be. Don't wait until you've set sail to sign-up for your Shore Excursions, Wellness, Spa treatments, and all the other onboard services that require reservations. Instead, make your pre-reservations online from the comfort of your home.
You need the following for maximum pleasure:
The right itinerary, the right ship, the right shore excursions, people with similar interests and in the same approximate age group. Programs like art classes, guest lecturers, seminars, bridge, etc., discounted fares and good weather.
Boomers and older Americans are often interested in cruises that cater to their own age group. Some are concerned that shore excursions might be too strenuous and others feel it is important to have a physician on board with proper medical facilities.
Weather and friendly people with some of the same interests and the right amenities are important at a resort, but you are not trapped in this location as you would be on a cruise ship so you are able to explore other areas more easily.
We offer discounts to seniors and this information is included in cruise offerings.
Rates are generally lower during the "off season" when there is less demand and Luxury Cruise are not escaping the winter weather.
Always tell your Vacations Luxury Cruise counselor if any member of your party is 55+, so that he or she can compare any age-related discounts that are available to other discounts and find the lowest possible rate. Only one passenger per cabin must be at least 55 in order to gain the discount for everyone in the room.
