Taking a cruise trip during the holidays is a great way to travel and relax at the same time for many people. Modern cruise ships are basically luxury resort hotels that are on the water and can travel. You get to visit different places while enjoying all the entertainment, activities, amenities and dining all in one place… But, more often than not, it can get quite costly… So let’s explore some of the most affordable cruise lines that offer everything mentioned above — but WITHOUT breaking the bank! There are many different cruises to choose from, from a variety of companies, ships and destinations. One area seniors should look into is how “senior friendly” is the particular ship they’re considering. Many ships try to make special accommodations for seniors, including wheelchair access, easy access swimming pools, age appropriate activities and entertainment and even special diet requirements. The cruises listed below are with cruise lines that have been rated as senior friendly and offer a good value. Please note that additional price discounts might be available for seniors (usually meaning age 55 or over) – make sure to ask before you book your cruise.
