Are Marella Cruise excursions suitable for less-mobile passengers and wheelchair users?
Unless you’re able to manage the steps on and off a bus unassisted, it’s not normally possible to participate in organised shore excursions. If you can take the steps, but need to take a wheelchair or a scooter, these must be collapsible. Please bear in mind that on some excursions, minibuses are used. In these cases, it may not always be possible to take a wheelchair or a scooter. However we can look into alternative options for you. To discuss these please call our dedicated team on 0800 145 6920 who will be happy to assist.
All of our shore excursions are available to book on the Marella Cruise Control website once you’ve booked your cruise holiday. To help you choose the shore excursions most suitable for you, we’ve sorted them into the following four categories:
ENERGETIC includes sport or physical activity
ACTIVE includes a considerable amount of walking, either over long distances, over difficult terrain, or up and down numerous steps
MODERATE includes some walking on more difficult terrain, or walking over longer distances on easy terrain
EASY includes a limited amount of walking, on flat terrain and with few steps
We also include useful hints and tips in the just so you know section, which often tell you if there is a lot of walking involved, or if the excursion is not accessible for wheelchair users.
