We are delighted to have received over 140,000 votes from you, the general public, who voted for those companies, cruise lines and destinations that you feel offer a fabulous service to mature travellers, and are happy to go the extra mile, or two, when needed. You’ve chosen companies both big and small: the vital thing is that they’ve given you the very best service on your trip. The shortlists for the twenty one categories, from best luxury cruise line to best rail holiday provider, through the various escorted touring operators, activities holidays and best destination for the over 50s, will be announced at the end of May – so watch this page for the updates! We know you’ll want to see if your favourites are in with a chance of winning.

The Awards will be presented to the winners at a sparkling evening reception, hosted by the remarkable Dame Esther Rantzen on 26 June at BAFTA, Piccadilly, London, before an audience of senior travel industry staff, and around 30 Silver Travellers – free tickets are available by ballot, email your interest to [email protected].     

We are delighted that so many of you took the time to vote – we await the announcement of the winners on 26 June with bated breath.
