A couple enjoying the cruise ship

Let's face it - there's adult travel, and then there's grown-up travel. If you're reading this and over 40, you likely desire those grown-up trips. You don't want to go to the same overdone destinations; you need something off the beaten path, and you crave luxury, pampering, and stunning views.


Read on to discover destinations to consider if you're an over-40 wanderer.


1. Alaska Cruise

Alaska

Tired of Caribbean cruises? Opt for an Alaskan adventure instead. An Alaskan cruise offers all the amenities of a tropical voyage but with snow-capped mountains and moose! Enjoy whale watching, glacier tours, and so much more. It's a refreshing way to cruise.


2. Porto, Portugal

Portu, Portugal

Porto, Portugal, is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. This city offers stunning views of the Douro River, exquisite cuisine, and world-renowned port wine. Wander through the historic Ribeira district, take a river cruise, or indulge in gourmet dining overlooking the picturesque landscapes.


3. Santorini, Greece

Santorini, Greece

Forget Las Vegas! Santorini should be at the top of your list. With its iconic white-washed buildings, crystal-clear waters, and incredible wine, this Greek island offers a perfect adult getaway. Enjoy luxury accommodations, rejuvenate in thermal springs, or take in the breathtaking sunsets.


4. Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh is a city steeped in history and culture. Explore the majestic Edinburgh Castle, stroll down the Royal Mile, or take a leisurely hike up Arthur's Seat for panoramic views of the city. With its rich history, vibrant festivals, and elegant dining options, Edinburgh offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.


5. Croatia

Croatia

Croatia is truly an underrated gem. You can choose to relax or explore the breathtaking landscapes this Central European country offers. From river rafting to cave tours, boat rentals, and museum hopping, Croatia might just steal your heart. For a comprehensive experience, consider a Croatia river cruise.


6. Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany, Italy

Why settle for overcrowded national parks when you can wine and dine in the stunning landscapes of Tuscany? This Italian region is perfect for exploring picturesque vineyards, indulging in world-class cuisine, and soaking up medieval history. It's a grown-up paradise.


7. Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik, Croatia

While Croatia offers hundreds of islands, I feel it's necessary to introduce Dubrovnik. Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic," Dubrovnik offers an enchanting blend of history and luxury. Walk along the ancient city walls, explore the charming Old Town, or take a boat ride to nearby islands. With its stunning coastal views and rich heritage, Dubrovnik ensures an unforgettable experience.
