If you’re looking for the top five romantic adventure vacations for seniors you can stop right here. We understand the appeal of adventure vacations for everyone, including seniors. Found on the DailyMail.com, I was transported in my imagination to each and every one of these top five romantic adventure vacations for seniors and I assure you I had a wonderful time and you will too!

1. ALASKA CRUISE

“Get on a cruise ship in Seattle or Vancouver and some of the world’s most extraordinary sights will be brought straight to your stateroom window. The ship will take you into the heart of the ‘action’ – so close to glaciers you feel you might be able to touch them – and excursions offer thrilling opportunities to spot bears or take helicopter rides over spectacular scenery. And this all from the attractive ‘base’ offered by a modern cruise ship where, as well as the comfort of a well-appointed cabin, you can enjoy good food and top-class entertainment.”

“l Holland America Line (0845 351 0557, www.hollandamerica.co.uk) offers a nine-night Glacier Bay Inside Passage Fly / Cruise to Alaska on MS Volendam. Departing September 11, it costs from £1,549pp. This includes return flights to Vancouver from London, pre-cruise hotel night, transfers and seven-night cruise full-board.”

2. ROCKY MOUNTAINEER

“Great rail journeys have become the terrestrial equivalent of the cruise. And the rail trip to match an Alaskan cruise is arguably the Rocky Mountaineer train that runs through the Canadian Rocky Mountains between Vancouver and Calgary. The scenery is never less than spectacular – but the key ingredient to its success is the cruise-ship standard organisation – good food, friendly staff and slickly arranged overnight stays. Another attraction is that the train ride is relatively brief, leaving plenty of time for your own independent exploration.”

“l Titan Travel (0800 988 5823, www.titantravel.co.uk) offers an 11-day Rocky Mountain Railtour from £2,395pp in April. The cost includes return flights into Vancouver and out of Calgary, nine nights’ accommodation, two days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, all transfers, excursions, some meals, the services of a tour manager and the VIP home Departure Service.”

3. THE ORIENT-EXPRESS

“Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the re-birth of the world’s most romantic train ride. When the original Orient- Express ended in 1977 there was good reason to suppose that a grand chapter in international travel had come to an end. But thanks to James Sherwood, who painstakingly acquired the necessary rolling stock, the renamed Venice Simplon-Orient-Express rode again. There may be longer and grander trips but nothing can compare with the delight of arriving in Venice on board the most famous train in history. If you’ve pushed the boat out this far, push it further by staying at the Hotel Cipriani.”

Prices start from £2,710pp including B&B accommodation at Hotel Cipriani (0845 077 2222, www.vsoe.com).”
