The data from finder.com.au shows more than 750,000 Aussies over 50 took luxury cruises to New Zealand, the Mediterranean, Asia, Northern Europe, Alaska and Antarctica last year, with couples spending an average of $1,467 for a nine-day trip.
“Retirees have every right to enjoy big expensive holidays with more older Australians than ever taking to the seas,” Finder.com.au’s insurance expert Bessie Hassan told news.com.au
“The older demographic prefer longer expeditions, sparing no expense on transatlantic and world cruises.”
