Also some excursions can be considered as strenuous as they’re on uneven terrains and lava formations, which requires a good physical state to perform.
Still, many Luxury and First class cruises are the preferred for senior travelers as they offer the kind of comfort and facilities required making their journey an enjoyable one and being able to meet other fellow travelers of similar age and interests with specialized and friendly guides.
