Why Choose a Cruise?

Cruises offer a unique blend of comfort, convenience and adventure. With everything in one place — dining, entertainment, accommodation and activities — they’re ideal for travellers who want a smooth, stress‑free holiday with plenty of choice.  A cruise has everything you have at a hotel and more with more choices in restaurants, bars, swimming pools, theatres, cinemas, sun decks and most cruise lines have various other activities on board that keep the children entertained also.

We work closely with cruise lines to ensure you have clear, accurate information about accessibility on board, ashore and throughout your itinerary.

We are partners with and work with Mobility at Sea to ensure that the Cruise Line are fully aware of your needs and requirements and any specialist equipment that you require is accessible to you throughout the holiday making it totally stress-free and more enjoyable.

Wheelchair‑Accessible Cabins

Accessible cabins vary by ship and category, so we guide you through the options to ensure the right fit. Features may include:

  • Wider doorways and step‑free access

  • Roll‑in or wet‑room style bathrooms

  • Grab rails and adapted fixtures

  • Lowered wardrobes, switches and storage

  • Ample turning space for wheelchairs or mobility aids

Before you book, we’ll explain exactly what each cabin offers so you can choose with confidence.

  • Step‑free routes to key areas

  • Accessible dining rooms and lounges

  • Theatre and entertainment seating with wheelchair spaces

Shore Excursions & Port Accessibility

Not all ports are equally accessible, and tender ports can be challenging for wheelchair users. We provide clear guidance on:

  • Which itineraries offer the best accessibility

  • Ports with smooth roll‑on/roll‑off gangways

  • Destinations offering adapted excursions

  • Local transport options, including wheelchair‑accessible vehicles

  • Any limitations you should be aware of before booking

Our goal is to ensure you know exactly what to expect at every stop.

Flights, Transfers & Equipment Hire

If your cruise includes flights, we can help with:

  • Suitable flight options

  • Airport assistance

  • Adapted transfers, including wheelchair‑accessible vehicles

  • Mobility equipment hire (such as hoists, profiling beds or scooters), where available

Availability varies by destination and supplier, so early booking is recommended if you need specific equipment or transport.

24/7 Support from Enquiry to Homecoming

Unlike traditional travel companies, we’re here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From your first enquiry to the moment you return home, you’ll have access to ongoing support and guidance.  If your needs change after completing your accessibility form, just let us know, we’ll review your arrangements, check suitability with suppliers and talk you through the available options. We will check with suppliers of alternative options before talking with you so we are prepared to make the changes without having to delay and possibly miss the alternate available option.

Book Early for the Best Choice

Accessible cabins and adapted transport are limited and can sell out quickly. Booking early gives you the widest choice and ensures we can secure the support you need plus gives us more time to ensure that we get all the right equipment, support in place for you.
