Mobility At Sea Feature In The Latest Spinal Injuries Association's Video

Follow Harry and Mark on the ware, hear Ian's story of cruising the Norwegian Fjords, and see our General Manager Alison explain how we support less-abled travellers with mobility equipment hire.

A spinal cord injury can introduce unique challenges when planning a cruise, but with the right preparation, equipment, and support, it’s absolutely possible to enjoy a fulfilling and accessible holiday at sea. Here's a breakdown of what to consider;

• Mobility Limitations: Navigating large ships, boarding tenders, and accessing excursions may be difficult without proper aids.
• Cabin Accessibility: Standard cabins may be too small or poorly laid out for wheelchair users or those needing transfer space.
• Medical Needs: Managing medications, catheters, or pressure relief equipment requires careful planning and onboard storage.
• Fatigue & Pain Management: Long distances and unfamiliar environments can increase physical strain.
• Excursion Restrictions: Some ports require tender boats or have uneven terrain, limiting access for those with mobility impairments.
