Holidays with a difference

In the holidays with a difference section, we bring you some holidays and holiday options that are very different from the traditional holidays available and that we think will particularly appeal to an over 50 audience.

Group travel can be a very interesting option especially if you are single or your partner doesn't share the same interest in travel.

Voyages Jules Verne for example provides trips by air, sea, river and rail to more unusual destinations - from Athens to Zanzibar, to the treasures of China, the natural wonders of the Galapagos, the River Nile, the cities and rivers of Europe and the railways and oceans of the world. Jules Verne also negotiate removal of single room occupancy supplements on selected departure dates for the single traveller.
