Enjoy a Wheelchair Caribbean
Vacation Cruise

If you want to get away and enjoy the sun and surf, consider a wheelchair Caribbean vacation by way of cruise ship. Cruising continues to increase in popularity because the all-inclusive benefits and activities make vacationing easy and pleasurable. And the Caribbean is a popular cruising destination among young and old alike because of the area’s beauty, shopping, and entertainment.

A travel agent who is an expert in disabled mobility travel can help you find the best wheelchair Caribbean vacation cruise line to accommodate your needs and leisure interests. Working with a travel professional is especially helpful because not all cruise ships are built to handle wheelchairs. Narrow halls, tight cabins and access to different levels of the ship may make it difficult to make your way around the ship with ease. Yet, there are many major cruise lines that cater to wheelchair passengers and their specific mobility requirements. Specifically, the ships are equipped with the following:
  • Larger cabins that enable you to easily move around
  • Wider doorways and halls to navigate
  • Larger bathrooms that feature assistive equipment.
  • Light switches and closets that are easily reached by mobility chair users
  • Ample elevators and wheelchair access to all parts of the cruise ship
    • Other Travel Tips
  • To fully enjoy the Caribbean islands and soak up the sun, ask your travel agent to see if an all terrain beach wheelchair will be available for rent during island excursions.
  • If you plan to take a cruise vacation and have a powered chair, remember to bring your own battery charger that is adaptable to a 110 volt electrical outlet.
  • No matter where you travel, always carry a list of emergency contacts and medications you are taking.
  • It is always advisable to travel with a companion in case there are special circumstances on board your ship or during an island excursion where you need additional help.
