Gentle Walkers
We welcome guests with limited mobility, but want all guests to understand that challenges will exist both on board and during shore excursions. There are stairs between decks and our ships have an elevator. In addition, there are split-level decks and/or significant thresholds that can make movement difficult. Shore excursions are a mix of activities that require movement over uneven ground, with boat launches to and from our vessel. Therefore, a physically challenged guest will require the services of a responsible adult as crew members are not available or allowed to assist. Motorized scooters are typically not suited and cannot be used on-board.
Security: The safety of our passengers is something we take very seriously, and we consider it our most important responsibility. Our policy is to be in constant contact with local municipalities as to our arrival and departure at our various locations.
