YOUR RESULTS 

Mostly A’s: You’ve got Alaska

This place is good if you’re seeking an adventure at an easy pace.

Not too far away from home, Alaska is a perfect destination to check off items on your travel bucket list. You don’t have to be a wilderness explorer in peak physical condition to view the huge glaciers, whales and grizzlies that are all part of the state’s highlights. There are Alaskan cruises which provide accessible accommodation for all ages. Flightseeing and helicopter shore excursions provide a breathtaking view of mountains, forests and wild waterways. You can also ride aboard the Aurora Winter Train, which chugs between Anchorage and Fairbanks from fall through spring, which is the primetime for seeing the Northern lights. 

Mostly B’s: You’ve got Central Europe’s Rivers

This place is good for participating in low to high activity at an easy pace.

Journey through scenic strips of Germany, Austria, and Hungary on iconic European waterways, such as the Danube and the Rhine. A cruise is a great way for seniors to have an intimate experience and see more places. The river cruise itineraries generally include close-up view of vineyards, villages, bankside castles and beautiful cities like Budapest and Vienna. Despite an array of sights, the pace on deck is slow and easy. You can opt for excursions involving wine tastings, opera performances and bike tours.

Mostly C’s: You’ve got Thailand

This place is great for budget travelers looking forward to new experiences.

Bangkok, Thailand is an excellent choice for seniors who crave variety, culture and a little relaxation. Explore its beaches, Buddhist temples and floating markets at your own pace. Currently, with the U.S. dollar stretching a long way in Southeast Asia, you can splurge on upscale restaurants, spas, and four-star hotels without putting a dent on your retirement savings.
