It’s always the right time to plan a cruise! Modern cruise ships are more accessible than ever, with many lines making accessibility a top priority for their guests. By learning about the available services and facilities ahead of time, you can ensure your trip is smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.
To help you get the most out of your time at sea, we’ve put together the following helpful topics:
A cruise vacation can be one of the most comfortable and enjoyable ways to travel. Selecting the right ship ensures you’ll have the accessibility and freedom of movement you need throughout your journey. Consider accessibility features, cabin layouts, and onboard services when comparing ships to make sure your choice is the right fit.
“All ashore that’s going ashore!” Whether it’s a familiar announcement or modern beeps and signals, leaving the ship for an excursion is part of the adventure. If you use a mobility device, it’s important to know how disembarkation works and whether excursions are accessible. Planning ahead will help you enjoy every stop along your cruise itinerary.
Your cabin is your personal retreat at sea, so accessibility is essential. Even if you don’t spend much time in your room, it should still provide comfort and convenience.
Here are a few things to check before you book:
Doorways & Entrances: Ensure your mobility device will fit through all required entryways. (For reference: a standard scooter is about 24 inches wide, so doorways should be at least 2 feet across.)
Layout & Space: Confirm that the room has enough turning space for your scooter or wheelchair.
Bathroom Accessibility: Look for features such as roll-in showers, grab bars, and raised toilet seats.
