FEATURED SENIORS HOLIDAYS

HOME EXCHANGE: House swapping holidays for seniors

House keys Holiday house exchange specifically for senior travellers and aimed at people over 50 years of age.

House swapping and exchange can be a great way to travel the world at a reasonable cost and often suits retired seniors who have flexibility with their time. House swaps can take place anywhere, so you might swap your country cottage for a city apartment, a property by the golf course or a luxury beach-side villa. Properties are available all over the world; the most popular destinations on the site include the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, New Zealand and the USA.

A house swap happens by the exchange of a main residence or a holiday home with another home owner for a pre-agreed holiday period, allowing both to enjoying an inexpensive holiday. As well as the house itself, cars, boats, motorhomes, bikes and other sporting gear can often be included in the exchange if agreed; sometimes even pets and pet care can be exchanged!

Seniors cut the cost of ski holidays

Ski lift It's not as common as it used to be and the age barrier keeps rising, but many ski resorts still offer lift ticket discounts for senior skiers; there are even still a few resorts offering totally free lift passes to their oldest participants (although we're generally talking 70+ or 75+ for these!). There are no standards for this and discounts vary between resorts, as do the age barriers and grades (and some resorts don't offer seniors discounts at all), so if you want to save, check out the specific resort before you book. And when you get there always remember to carry proof of your age when buying the lift ticket.

CATEGORY DEFINITION FOR TOUR OPERATORS WISHING TO BE LISTED:

The travel-quest seniors/silver surfers section is intended for listing specialist holidays, vacations and tours for older people. This includes over 50's travel packages, over 60's holidays, senior escorted tours, pensioner holidays, seniors coach holidays and cruises. These holidays will either be tours specifically designed for older people (including activity and adventure travel for older people as well as dedicated travel for the less fit and/or infirm) or general tours where special deals and arrangements are made for older travellers. We need to see evidence on the website concerned of the deals available for older people (e.g. reduced prices for pensioners, over 50's reductions, free grandparent places on family holidays, etc.) and/or what special arrangements are made for older people (e.g. dedicated age related travel insurance, no single supplements, assistance for the infirm, etc.). The Travel-Quest directory is set up to promote all businesses offering travel and holidays to the mature market, aiming to promote smaller businesses along with the obvious the big names that otherwise tend to hog the lime-light. We aim to provide visitors with a list that they can use to make comparisons and compare packages and deals as well as discover providers they might have a hard job finding on their own.
