What Are the Top Cruise Destinations for Women Over 50?

3. The Portuguese Azores

Some travelers call the Azores one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets, and they’d like to keep it that way. But for women looking for a unique subtropical destination experience, this nine-island archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean is the perfect spot. Natural hot springs, mountain peaks, and sweeping volcanic landscapes create the perfect backdrop for spa retreats, food and wine tours, yachting, and year-round whale watching experiences. For those seeking a not-so-balmy climate, the Azores offer comfortable temperatures in the mid-70s in the summer.
