Pre-Cruise Preparation: Setting Sail with Confidence

To ensure a smooth cruise experience, a little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how to get ready:

Research Your Cruise Line

While most reputable cruise lines prioritize accessibility, it’s wise to confirm their policies before booking. Check if the cruise line offers accessible cabins, ramps, lifts, and dedicated support for passengers with mobility needs. Contact their customer service team to discuss your requirements and ensure they can accommodate your mobility scooter. MOBILITY & MEDICAL provides more information for cruising with MSC cruises using your mobility scooter.

Notify the Cruise Line

When booking, inform the cruise line about your mobility scooter. This allows them to prepare for your needs, such as reserving an accessible cabin with wider doorways, extra space for maneuvering, and bathrooms equipped with grab bars for safety and convenience.

Choose a Travel-Friendly Mobility Scooter

Opt for a lightweight, foldable, or compact model from our range, designed for easy transport and storage. Ensure that it’s fully charged and in good working condition before you embark. Browse our collection of travel-friendly mobility scooters for models perfect for cruising.

Accessible Features

Once onboard, you’ll find that most ships are equipped with wide corridors, accessible public areas, and designated spaces for mobility devices. Accessible cabins provide ample room to store and charge your scooter, ensuring you’re ready to explore every deck.

Safety and Etiquette

While cruising, operate your mobility scooter at a safe speed (similar to a walking pace) to navigate crowded areas easily. Be mindful of your surroundings to ensure the safety of yourself and other passengers. Familiarize yourself with the ship’s safety protocols, including emergency procedures, to stay prepared.
