Adventures in Lifelong
Learning
We are a not-for-profit organization that provides
exceptional learning adventures to nearly 160,000
older adults each year. Elderhostel offers nearly
8,000 programs a year in more than 90 countries.
We believe learning is a lifelong pursuit that
opens minds and enriches lives. We believe sharing
new ideas, challenges and experiences is rewarding
in every season of life. Our participants come from
every walk of life to learn together, to exchange
ideas, and to explore the world.
A Superior Value
Unlike tourist travel or commercial tours,
Elderhostel programs are all inclusive. There are no
hidden expenses. In addition to accommodations, we
include most meals, lectures, field trips, cultural
excursions, gratuities, and a travel assistance and
insurance plan. We provide high quality experiences
with a high level of service at an extraordinary
value.
We Take Care of the
Details So You Don't Have To
Whether it be simplifying registration; offering
comfortable accommodations in hotels, inns, retreat
centers and select campuses (nearly all with private
baths); offering single rooms on almost 90 percent
of U.S. and Canada programs; preparing meals infused
with local flavor; or having caring staff, we take
care of the details so you can enjoy your program.
A love of learning, with exceptional people in
engaging environments, creates extraordinary
experiences, which is what Elderhostel has been
providing for more than a quarter-century.
