The best cruises for seniors over 60 are those with adult-focused activities with exotic destinations ashore. While no two retirees want the same things when travelling, most seniors want longer vacation itineraries. Most people have saved most of their money to enjoy it once they retire but are also happy to find a great cruise deal or a promotion that offers increased value upon booking.

We have chosen the top cruises for seniors on this list. We have prioritized cruise lines that tend to target adults rather than families. These cruise ships have grown-up entertainment options, fine dining and many opportunities for adults to socialize. The cruise lines have destinations offering immersive cultural opportunities, long sailing lengths and bucket-list itineraries.

Here is a list of the top cruises that should be on your bucket list:

H2: Viking Cruise Line

Viking cruise ships can only have 930 passengers onboard at a time. This makes them top our list for seniors because it is carefully designed for the adult crowd. The line does not allow anyone under 18 years onboard, and all the activities are curated for passengers over 59.

These cruises are great for academic-minded seniors. They have been dubbed ‘the thinking person’s cruise’ thanks to the destination-specific programming and the lectures onboard. However, this does not mean that the Viking Cruises are boring; there are many performances, including in the theatre, for seniors to enjoy.

The ships are comfortable and homey, especially if your home has a sophisticated Scandinavian décor. Viking itinerary includes key senior attractions around the globe, including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Windstar Cruises

Winstar cruise line sails small ships and motorized yachts with 148 to 342 passengers. While the line allows kids aged eight years and up to board the ship, it is highly unlikely to see many of them onboard.

Most cruisers on the Winstar cruise line are active seniors who come as couples, solo travellers or pairs of friends. If you want a destination-rich experience, you shouldn’t pass up this cruise line. The cruise line has two classes of ships. If you are an older couple looking to celebrate a milestone such as an anniversary, you should choose a ship with a vast open deck for the picturesque sails to set the mood for romance. If you want more personal space, choose the 312-passenger motorized yacht with all-suite accommodation.

 Azamara Cruises

Azamara cruise line has nearly four identical ships with less than 700 passengers. The line has carved a niche for itself, catering to the well-travelled seniors who want to travel to clubby surroundings. It is also an idea for seniors who do not want to spend on fancy luxury products but want an upscale ambience, amenities and services. While the line doesn’t explicitly ban kids, they discourage passengers under 18 on their website.

Passengers on the Azamara appreciate hotel-like décor, including faux fireplaces and very impressive libraries. The cruise line is destination focused with itineraries in Europe and spends more time in the ports than the average ships allowing you to spend a little more time in critical destinations. It is the ideal line for the passengers who want to explore more.

 Holland America

Holland America is also one of the best cruise lines for seniors. Its ships are mid-sized with a capacity of 2,668 passengers and offer some of the amenities found in big ships, but they lack the over-the-top water slides and thrill interactions. It is an excellent choice for older seniors and baby boomers who want to enjoy casinos, alternative dining options, and entertainment.

The older crowd is not boring at all. The cruise line has live music for the passengers where they can dance the night away. The line also has programs to educate its passengers on the destination they visit.
