Travel Trends for Active Boomers

Travel after sixty is increasingly about comfort, pacing, and meaningful experiences. Many
boomers are choosing smaller group trips and deeper itineraries.
For solo travel for women, trusted options include Road Scholar, Overseas Adventure Travel,
Women Traveling Together, and Girls Guide to the World. These companies design trips with
safety, support, and friendly group structure.
For educational travel, Smithsonian Journeys, National Geographic Expeditions, and many
university alumni travel programs offer expert led experiences.
For culinary trips, look for cooking retreats and food focused tours such as Culinary
Backstreets. For multigenerational vacations, families often choose cruises, national park tours,
or a shared rental home through VRBO so everyone has space and flexibility.
