Honeyboom is a late life second honeymoon or vacation taken by couples with older children to help them remember why they fell in love.

History

Honeyboomers leave the kids at home while they take a break to work on their relationship and to simply have fun again with their partner. Coined by Carnival Cruise Line in 2017 to describe the growing trend of 45+ year old couples travelling child-free. The term has been picked up by media outlets referencing psychologist and relationship expert John Aiken to describe parents holidaying to reignite the love through fun, adventure and shared experiences^[1]. They are usually parents to teenage children and possess a carefree, young at heart attitude towards life. They are open to trying new things and enjoying new experiences together.^[2].

Etymology

The portmanteau of "honeymoon" and "baby boomer" has only been around since 2017 when Carnival Cruise Line starting using the term as a marketing term to describe a growing trend for couples holidaying on their cruise ships ^[3].
