Returning to SWTOR after a couple of years - Level 55 class quests?

So I've just decided to see what's what. Last time I played was in February 2014, so yea... obviously a lot has changed ;-)
Now that's fine. But I'm not sure where to go from here. Some of my characters are level 55, the rest 50. I don't seem to have any class quest available, but the game allows me to start a fresh character as level 60 to get right into the new content - Rise of the Hutt Cartel I believe. I don't want to do that however.
What would be the "expected" or "normal" progression from here? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious; but the game can seem just a tad overwhelming when returning

Yes, you can skip it all, but the class missions.
