Tours & Holidays for Seniors

Whether it's a paired down, spontaneous backpacking trip through Southeast Asia before you hit your twenties or taking the kids down to the South Coast in the summer, there’s no doubt that across a lifetime, we develop a variety of different tastes for travel.

At Newmarket Holidays, we are proud to offer unforgettable tours for seniors and elderly people. Because sometimes, getting older doesn’t mean slowing down, it means expanding our horizons and developing a deeper, established curiosity about the expansive world around us.

Many of our customers are older travellers, specifically those who are over 50 and over 60. After nearly four decades in the travel industry, we can certainly say that we offer a degree of care and thoughtfulness that can sometimes be hard to find. Travelling with Newmarket Holidays means you will be well looked after and will be able to experience peace of mind, no matter where you go in the world - whether it’s Ho Chi Minh City’s vibrant Old French Quarter, Northern Spain’s gorgeous wine-producing regions of La Rioja, or even the biodiversity haven of Madagascar. For many elderly adventurers, a trip closer to home might be on the cards, historic and atmospheric Belfast is great for a short getaway, and Scotland’s fairytale capital Edinburgh is great for a city break, as well as the goosebump-inducing Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Older travellers not only love our variety of destinations, but the holiday touches that provide that extra something. This means expert-led itineraries, insightful tour managers, stunning scenery at every turn, and carefully chosen attractions.
