And the winners are…

We’re delighted to share the winners of the Silver Travel Awards 2022.

At the glittering ceremony, held at The Wallace Collection in London, 22 travel companies were rewarded for going the extra mile and providing exceptional service for mature travellers. Our host for the evening was television presenter, radio presenter, newsreader and journalist Penny Smith, who, along with our sponsors, announced the winners. What a wonderful evening of celebration and a toast to travel’s finest.

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for your favourite brands from cruise lines, touring providers, activity and adventure suppliers and specialist holiday operators. Your votes alone decided the winners in 19 categories which were voted for exclusively by our community of silver travellers. While three categories were judged by a panel of industry experts.

Congratulations to all our winners.
