Relax and cruise with the ultimate peace of mind. Emerald Cruises is a member of both ATOL (Number 9294) and ABTA (Number Y6328).
Emerald Cruises prides itself on welcoming passengers with medical conditions or limited mobility. However, sometimes, the ship’s design may limit access; some Star-Ships do not have elevators to all decks. Shore excursions may require you to board a coach, so you must be able to manage the stairs. In the majority of cases, a travel companion should be able to provide enough assistance, but if you have any concerns, then our friendly booking team will be happy to advise you.
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.
