Age range on Amadeus

[Fressia]

I received an Amadeus cruise brochure yesterday and noticed that all the persons pictured were young. What are the ages of the majority of the passengers?

I haven't seen their brochure but perhaps the photo showed staff which are mostly under 30. We cruisers were mostly 55+.

I celebrated my 49th birthday on the Amadagio a couple of weeks ago. Other than another couple we traveled with and one or two others, everybody else could have been my parents (and several could have been my grandparents).

I am in my upper 30's. I sailed last year on Amadeus - there were 3 people younger then I and a lot of people in the 50's and 60's and then those older.

 

I had thought Amadeus was trying to appeal to younger people - not sure how that is working.

Friends just returned. The are in their mid 60's and said with exception of one 18 year old traveling with his grandparents they were by far the youngest.

I believe the brochure shows models not cruisers....

I traveled last year on Amadagio. I'm 55 and was the youngest, besides the staff. I would say 65 and older. But I had a great time talking and getting to know everyone. Don't let age discourage you. Someone's life experience can be quite interesting! If your looking for a young and partying crowd, river cruising is not what you want. I found it very relaxing (what I was looking for) but extremely interesting with not only the shipmates but ports.

 

Whatever you decided, enjoy life to it's fullest!

My mother and I are going the Heartland Cruise in late September. She is very healthy, but sometimes has trouble walking. I figured since the cruise seems to cater to older clientele, the tours shouldn't be too strenous, but I was thinking about getting her one of those fold up walkers with a seat and basket? Would it be worth the trouble. I imagine there will be a lot of cobblestone streets?

We were on an Amadeus ship in April and the age ranged from early 50's to mid-80's. The mid-80's couple didn't miss a beat and out danced everyone else on the ship - so don't let the age impact your decision as to which ship to choose. No matter which line you choose - it will never be the party boat some cruises seem to be (thank goodness!!!)
