Cruising At The Speed Of 55
The Old Man and the Sea - 21st Century Remake
At the age of 55, people can no longer be considered old - in fact, this is nowadays regarded as middle age. It's a time to enjoy life to the full, and cruising is one vacation option you might consider. Not just for the well-known attractions, but also because, at this age, you can enjoy some tempting senior discounts. Your kids are old enough to take care of themselves, so you should start thinking of your own fun again.
Don't start suspecting a hidden catch: even at a discount, the price for the cruise includes everything you'll need during the vacation, except such things as drinks at the bar, tips for the waiters, and off-deck excursions. The rest - food, accommodation, socializing activities, and entertainment programmes, are all covered by the sum you have paid for the trip, which makes it a lot easier to budget your holiday.
The key words are comfort and convenience. You're boarding a voyaging hotel that will enable you to see many exotic corners of the world, including some seaports, while lodging in the same place. Between two land excursions, you can relax at the pool, enjoy the company of newly found friends, or let yourself absorbed by some captivating book as waves splash against the hull and the breeze hums songs of the ocean.
All worries are left behind - you're on vacation, comfortable and safe. Health concerns are addressed before they arise, as the ship's infirmary is equipped to handle any emergency that might occur.
That shouldn't make you feel old, it's just one option that you have - one option any traveller of any age has, actually. But you can also make it an active holiday, with exercise classes and dancing lessons. You can try your hand at newly learned crafts or test your luck at games. Learn to cook - though if you haven't already, you probably had good reasons - and broaden your knowledge of wine sorts. Keep up with the younger generation by learning how to surf... not the waves, but the Internet. Enrich your cultural awareness through the art or history classes referring to the ports you are about to visit, or improve your conversational skills in some foreign language.
Among virtues, philanthropy is most rewarded on a cruise. You can cruise as a volunteer for assisting travelling doctors with medical care missions; you can help humanitarian aid missions distribute food and clothing to people in poor regions or reconstruct houses after some calamity. Teaching English to local village children is another task you might want to undertake. You will not only earn people's respect and gratitude, but you'll have interesting tales to tell at the end of this exotic adventure.
Try it once, and when the next holiday season approaches, you'll definitely put the TV guide aside and start looking for a new cruise and a new adventure. Bon voyage!
