Winners revealed!

The winners have been revealed at the Silver Travel Awards 2024.

In a glittering ceremony, hosted by television presenter Anthea Turner, 20 worthy winners were presented with their awards in categories across cruise, tours, activity and adventure and specialist operators.

Each winner has been chosen entirely by our engaged community of over 50s travellers, who remain active participants in shaping the conversation around travel.

In addition to the consumer-voted awards, our Silver Standout Awards—judged by a panel of industry experts—recognise travel companies that have excelled in key areas such as innovation, marketing, representation, support, and sustainability.

This year, we were especially excited to introduce the Silver Standout for Solos, honouring the travel brands that offer exceptional experiences tailored specifically for solo travellers.
