Are the elderly the eternal travelers? Well it seems that according to the data shuffled by the shipping companies it could be that yes. Only that we have already forgotten that image of them without getting off the boat and sunbathing, or playing petanque on the side, They now go on excursions, participate in activities and some are even the kings of the track.
The truth is that the so-called third age is one of the segments that has grown the most in tourism, To begin with, they have all the time in the world to travel, they do not have the constraints of work and they can plan several itineraries a year.
With the Advantage of being able to choose the time you want to travel they get very good prices and promotions, not to mention that most shipping companies have Special prices for seniors, which are actually considered from 60 and in some those over 55 already have discounts. But for me the main advantage is not the price, but that you do not find as much crowding as in high season and you can enjoy more of the landscapes and excursions.
On any cruise you choose you will be pampered. At the time of booking the ticket they will ask you if you need any type of special food, without salt, without gluten or without sugar, for example, You can make your own menu yourself, since light foods are usually indicated in the buffets, for people who do not tolerate fats well, or suitable for hypertensive and diabetics.
One of the biggest advantages I find for seniors on a cruise is the opportunity to make friends, and who knows what else. Activities are organized, the tables in the dining rooms have age criteria, the excursions in the ports ... in short, it is like a social club only in a big way and visiting wonderful places.
