If you are a traveller with limited mobility, cruising is a fantastic option for you – we recently chatted with wheelchair user and cruising enthusiast Rod Russ who shared some of his tips and experiences.
Onboard, there are amenities such as wheelchair accessible cabins (you will need to book ahead) and lifts that allow wheelchair access to most parts of the ships, but we also do our best to offer accessible experiences on land with a range of limited-mobility tours.
From glamorous limousine rides to Vanuatuan villages, here are just a few great activities that are available:
