Accessible Cruising

Expertise You Can Count On

Cruising is one of the most mobility-friendly ways to explore the world, but only when it’s planned correctly. From booking the right cabin to selecting accessible excursions, every detail matters.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare and first-hand knowledge of mobility challenges, I bring both professional training and personal insight to accessible cruise planning.

Certified with All Major Cruise Lines

I’m certified and trained with all the major cruise lines, including:

  • Standard Cruise Lines (e.g. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, MSC)

  • Premium & Luxury Lines (e.g. Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, Oceania, Viking, Regent Seven Seas)

  • Expedition & Small Ship Cruising (e.g. Hurtigruten, Silversea Expeditions, Lindblad/National Geographic, Ponant)

Each cruise line has unique accessibility offerings—and I know how to navigate them to fit your specific needs.

Why Booking Early Matters

Accessible (ADA-compliant) staterooms are very limited and book out quickly, often 12–18 months in advance. If you're considering a cruise and need:

  • A roll-in shower

  • Wider doorways for wheelchairs/scooters

  • Lowered counters or accessible balconies

  • Proximity to elevators

  • Oxygen delivery or other medical equipment onboard

    It is essential to book as early as possible. I’ll help ensure we get the right accommodations from the start.

Shore Excursions & Transfers – Tailored to Your Ability

Whether you’re looking for accessible city tours, wildlife safaris, or beach landings from an expedition ship, I can arrange excursions that work for:

  • Wheelchair or scooter users

  • Travelers with walking aids

  • Hidden disabilities or chronic illness

  • Medical support needs

For expedition cruising, we’ll carefully assess tender access, landing sites, and transfer requirements, so you know exactly what to expect.

Medical & Mobility Support Onboard

From oxygen delivery and refrigeration for medications to arranging equipment rentals (like scooters, hoyer lifts, or shower chairs), I can make sure your medical needs are supported seamlessly while you sail.
