The Spirit of the Danube has at least one trained first aider for guests with health concerns or problems during their holiday. If you take medication regularly, Saga recommends keeping a written record of your medicines and dosage in your cabin. This is useful if a first aider needs to refer to them during your holiday.
At Saga, shore tours are graded based on their activity level, so you’ll always know the amount of activity required on any excursion. Walking tours graded 4 or higher always have a Gentle Walker group option. Gentle Walker groups take a slower pace and follow a more leisurely route, avoiding steps, stairs, and steep inclines. Guests can join a Gentle Walker group at any time.
We need to know if you have a physical disability (temporary or permanent), are living with a mental health condition such as dementia, or have learning difficulties. Please also tell us if you have a long-term illness or a hearing, sight, or speech impairment. It’s also helpful to know if English is not your first language. You can email your information or speak to one of our friendly representatives in confidence on the phone.
Our mission at crui.se is to help you and your loved one’s book and experience the best cruise holiday imaginable. We’re different in that, our customers come first, not our suppliers or profit margins. Get in touch and let us help you set sail.
