Viking
Viking’s 930-passenger ocean ships are among our favorite senior cruises because they’re designed specifically for the older adult crowd. No person under the age of 18 is allowed on board, and all programs are created with travelers aged 50-plus in mind.
We recommend these cruises for academic-minded seniors. The chairman for Viking says that this is “the thinking person’s cruise,” and lectures and other destination-specific programs are the primary form of entertainment you’ll find on board.
But don’t worry: That doesn’t mean this senior cruise is boring. Passengers will enjoy the crowd-pleasing ABBA tribute show in the theater!
And itineraries are focused on getting retirees to important attractions around the world, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with a shore tour each day included in the cruise fare.
Complimentary dining includes the Chef’s Table, with its rotating tasting menus based on international cuisines, and a specialty Italian restaurant.
Viking also offers river ships in Europe, Vietnam, and Egypt, among its destinations. And the cruise line offers all-inclusive pricing.
