Guests with Disabilities

While Cruise strives to make its Shore Excursion programme available to all its guests, inherent tour venue limitations and/or tour operator limitations exist that are beyond Cruise control that limit the ability of guests with special needs to participate in certain Shore Excursions. We urge such guests to advise the Shore Excursion department of disabilities when requesting tours and to further meet with the Shore Excursion staff on board to discuss their disabilities as they relate to the unique characteristics of each Shore Excursion. We typically recommend independent transportation for the comfort and convenience of guests with disabilities.
