If you are looking for a relaxing, hassle-free vacation, cruising is one of the most accessible ways to travel. No other type of vacation allows you the convenience of visiting multiple cities and countries without having to change hotel rooms. Not only does a cruise save you the hassle of getting from place to place and having to pack and unpack, cruise ships themselves are part of the attraction. Whether you enjoy things like bingo, karaoke, trivia games, going to the casino, bidding at an art auction, dancing at a nightclub, Broadway style shows, comedians, or simply relaxing with a drink by the pool or at the piano bar, it is simply impossible to be bored on a cruise ship.

It has not been lost on the cruise industry that approximately 20% of Americans and 15% of Canadians have some form of disability. Many cruise lines have made significant strides in improving access for the disabled, and new ships are making cruises an easy vacation option for disabled travelers. Many ships offer barrier-free decks, accessible washrooms around the ship, accessible cabins with roll-in showers in a variety of categories, accessible shore excursions, and more. Even the ports are becoming more accessible. At many ports the ship has to anchor at sea and small boats called tenders are used to bring passengers ashore. While these tenders have long been inaccessible to passengers in wheelchairs, a couple cruise lines have now modified their tenders to accommodate wheelchairs and scooters.

Whether you are a wheelchair/scooter user, a slow walker, or a senior with special needs, we will help you or your group book a cruise that satisfies your interests and special requirements. Since some cruise lines and certain destinations are more accessible than others, we will ensure that you are booked on a cruise that is the most accessible for you and takes you where you want to go. For clients that book their cruise through us, World On Wheelz is able to arrange accessible shore excursions in many ports around the world where accessible shore excursions are not offered by the cruise line. If you require medical equipment on board the ship, we are able to arrange for a variety of rentals in ports across the globe, including wheelchairs, hoyer lifts, hospital beds, and more. All medical equipment can be delivered right into your cabin. We also make arrangements for oxygen users--just let us know your requirements.

World on Wheelz is happy to work with individuals and groups to plan a memorable cruise. We will ensure that you are booked on a cruise that best meets your needs. Our staff have traveled extensively and know which cruise lines offer the best access for you. We look forward to making your cruise plans a reality!
