Some of our port stops involve coach trips, so you will need to be able to board and leave the coach via stairs. Most of our inclusive tours are walking tours, which are at a gentle pace, but it is possible that the footing will be uneven due to the location – rough terrain or cobblestones; this is sometimes not suitable for guests with limited mobility. Talk to one of our friendly booking team who can chat through the excursions on your cruise with you. Often, an able-bodied companion who can help is all that is required.
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.
