Seniors Travel Clubs

Travelling alone has its advantages. But, let’s face it, it can get lonely. If you are a solo traveller looking for a travel companion, there are lots of resources available for travellers who are young at heart but can’t convince anyone to come with them on the trip of a lifetime.

If this sounds like you, there are many solutions. You could find a small tour group, as lots of companies happily accept singles (although some do ask for a surcharge) or pair you up with another single in the group to cut costs. If tours are not your style, but you don’t want to travel alone, consider joining a travel club or look online for a travel buddy on a site like Thelma & Louis or Travbuddy. You can also search on the forums at Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor to find like-minded souls.

Make sure you’re clear about what kind of person you are looking for and want kind of trip you are embarking on to make sure you find a good fit.


Importance of travel insurance for seniors tours

Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure you've been waiting until retirement for or just your annual adventure, it's a good idea to make sure you've got the right seniors travel insurance cover should any part of your trip unintentionally stray off the beaten path.

What cover is available to you will depend on a few factors. Your age, overall health and the destination of your holiday will have an impact on the price and availability of travel insurance, but we've made seniors travel insurance easy to understand so you can find the policy that's best for your needs.
