Holland America
Holland America has long been a popular senior cruise line for those looking for a classy and classic experience while on a cruise.
The line’s midsize cruise ships prioritize simpler diversions, like fine dining, live music, and shuffleboard, rather than excessive bling and over-the-top attractions.
Its Explorations Central department has onboard activities to familiarize travelers with the food, culture, and attractions of the regions they visit.
If Alaska happens to be on your bucket list, this cruise line has a very long history in the area and offers cruises on multiple ships every year.
Its tours feature their own Alaska Railroad cars and wilderness resorts, as well as routes into Canada’s Yukon territory, which you won’t find anywhere else. And while the pace onboard is more on the leisurely side, that doesn’t mean it’s boring.
Holland America is very well known for its trio of musical hotspots: Billboard Onboard: featuring pianists, B.B. King’s Blues Club: with Memphis-style R&B, and Lincoln Center Stage: which includes classical melodies.
Food lovers can attend cooking demos, blend their own wines, and book reservations at a few specialty dining areas and pop-up restaurants for a full evening of fine wine and gourmet food.
And seniors who want to keep up with the times can pick up a few computer-based tricks at the onboard Microsoft Studios workshops.
