Cruises

                   Resorts

Buses & Trains

Cruising is the perfect way to enjoy the best times of your life. Seniors can enjoy lounging 
by the pool on a deck chair with a good book, or a game of cards. Or they can be as 
active as their hearts desire with exercise classes, dancing lessons, wine tasting, singles 
parties, and more.

When it comes to dining, guests can opt for a low-calorie lunch, pasta prepared at your 
table in the dining room or a cheeseburger and fries at the pool buffet. Dinners are five to 
seven course meals and often feature international specialties. Depending on the ship 
selected, passengers can dress formally or dine as casual as they want to be.

Deciding what features are important to you is a priority: perhaps you 
are single and female and would like to dance before or after dinner; t
Hosts are men over 50 who dance with the unescorted ladies. You may
 also be assigned to dining room tables with other single men & women
 traveling alone, and attend a variety of social functions aboard.       

Cruise lines that offer Gentleman Hosts are:

• Crystal Cruises
• Cunard Seabourn Line
• Holland America Line
• Orient Lines

  Renewal of Vows If you would like to renew your vows on a cruise ship, you can do so for $400. Your vows can be renewed in the wedding chapel (if there is one) or in a designated spot on board. This cost includes the ceremony, ceremony music, bouquet for the bride, boutonniere for the groom, keepsake certificate, wedding cake for four, photograph, and champagne. Cruise Lines offer senior discounts to passengers 55 years of age or older. Only 1 passenger per stateroom is required to be at least 55 years of age, and the other passengers in the same stateroom are entitled to the same low price. In addition, if you require air transportation as part of your cruise package, you may qualify for a senior discount on your air ticket also. Be sure to ask one of our cruise consultants about our senior discounts for airfare add ons.

Despite Fewer Senior Discount Programs, Mature Travelers 
         Find Ways to Save

Over the past couple of years, many airlines have eliminated senior discount programs that once offered mature travelers savings of 10 percent or more on most airfare. While there are a few notable exceptions, and it still pays to ask whether a discount is available for your particular flight, there are many other ways for seniors to save on airfare.
Budget Airlines
Even at their peak, senior discount programs often failed to deliver savings that could compete with the any-person fares available through budget airlines. Carriers such as JetBlue, Frontier and Southwest consistently offer attractive low-cost travel options, and the Internet has helped to make budget carriers even more competitive with the major airlines. That’s one reason many of the big airlines have started their own discount subsidiaries, such as United’s Ted and Delta’s Song  

HEALTH TIPS FOR 
SENIOR TRAVELERS                                   

• Medical assistance. . . If you should fall ill or have an accident while traveling abroad, the U.S. government will not pay for emergency transportation back to your home or local hospital. The Social Security Medicare program will not reimburse you for hospital or medical services obtained outside the United States. Certain Medicare supplement plans do cover medical care in a foreign country (up to a point) if the treatments would have been eligible under Medicare. Note, however, that you must pay for the services first, get receipts, and submit them to Medicare for reimbursement.  

• Review your health insurance policy. Read your health insurance policy before you travel to find out what is and is not covered outside the U.S. Remember that medical and hospital costs in other countries can be higher than at home. If your Medicare supplement or your private health insurance does not include coverage while you are abroad, you should probably purchase a short-term health insurance policy specifically for travelers.    

• Your travel agent can probably advise you about reputable travel insurance company.

• Leave at home all unnecessary credit cards, expensive jewelry, or irreplaceable family objects. Don't pack too much or your bag will be too heavy to manage. Read the Travel Health articles posted on this website, for what to take for your health needs.
  
• Make photocopies of your airline ticket, passport identification page, driver's license, and the credit cards you take with you. Leave one set at home and keep another with you in a place separate from these valuables. Leave a copy of the serial numbers of your traveler's checks at home; take another with you, separate from the checks themselves and, as you cash in the checks, keep a tally of which ones remain unredeemed.
  
• Have your affairs at home in order: Leave an up-to-date will, insurance documents, and a power of attorney with your family, so you can feel secure about traveling and are prepared for any emergency that may occur while you are away. Before departing, provide your family or friends with a copy of your proposed itinerary and keep them informed of your travel plans should they change or in case they need to contact you in an emergency.
  
• Carry with you appropriate photo identification and the name of a family member or friend to contact in case of an emergency.
  
• Find out whether you own insurance which will cover you for loss or theft abroad in case of accident or illness.
  
  LUGGAGE
  Limit your baggage and make sure it is lightweight as there may be times when you might have to carry it yourself. Be sure your baggage is clearly labeled. Remove old destination labels and paste your name, address, and tour group (if appropriate) in a prominent place on the outside and inside of each piece of luggage. The outside tag should show only your name and tour group; print your address on the reverse (concealed) side. Enclose a copy of your itinerary in each bag. Keep your luggage locked even when left empty in your room. Someone could use your luggage to cart off your belongings.

PASSPORTS
Make sure your passport is current. Some countries will not permit you to enter or give you a visa if your passport's remaining validity is less than 6 months. If you don't have a passport, get one way earlier than your departure date. You'll need proof of U.S. citizenship (a birth certificate), proof of identity (a driver's license), two recent two-inch by two-inch photographs of a good likeness, and a completed official passport form. Although fees have gone up, passports are now valid for 10 years. If your town doesn't have a State Department Passport Agency, get your passport application from the federal or state courthouse or from the post office. Allow at least two to four weeks for processing. After you receive your passport be sure to sign it and fill in the personal notification data page. Your previous passport will be returned to you with your new passport.

If your passport is lost or stolen, report the loss immediately to the nearest embassy or consulate and to local police. If you can provide a photocopy to the consular officer it will help in issuance of a new passport. Your passport is a valuable document and should be carefully safeguarded.
