These generational travel innovations range from cruise ship Broadway performances to elderly photo-sharing apps. While Norwegian Cruise Line's on-board entertainment lineup includes iconic performances like Rock of Ages, Burn the Floor, and After Midnight, apps like The Silver Post encourage a mature generation to be more social media savvy -- thanks to easy-to-use and comprehensible features.
Additional examples include vlogger Natasha Bailie's 'Mum SOS' tutorial which shares tips on making family trips more organized, and stress-free. The founder of YouTube's Channel Mum, Baille dives into a variety of parent-requested topics, and answers viewer's questions throughout the clip.
Other generational travel innovations to note include kid-specific hotel suites, personalized cruise wearables, and familial bike tours that encourage families of all ages to share moments together.
