Active Retirees Winter 2025 Issue

Active Retirees
Winter 2025

In this issue, we explore the timeless charm of Venice, one of the world’s most romantic destinations, and set sail on a scenic North Island East Coast cruise, showcasing a relaxing way to experience New Zealand’s stunning coastline. We also highlight the importance of hydration for seniors and feature sustainably farmed New Zealand salmon, complete with delicious recipes and wine pairing suggestions.

In addition, we take a closer look at retirement village living, meet the winners of our Tasmania holiday competition, and launch our latest giveaway—a dream holiday for two in Rarotonga, including return airfares and seven nights’ accommodation.

Our regular features include travel news, lifestyle stories and updates of interest to active retirees.
