Some of our ‘standard’ Shore Experiences aren’t suitable for everybody due to their physical nature. However, some wheelchair users and guests with reduced mobility might feel confident they can join in certain experiences. We also offer a selection of accessible Shore Experiences which are specially designed for guests with reduced mobility.‘Standard’ shore experiencesWe give you an idea of the physicality and types of terrain you’ll encounter on each shore experience within its description. However, we don’t recommend particular ‘standard’ experiences for wheelchair users or guests with reduced mobility because we understand that everyone has different abilities.If your mobility is limited but you’re able to board a coach, the most suitable ‘standard’ shore experiences for you will likely be those with the 'low' activity symbol. These are often titled 'Panoramic', e.g. Panoramic Rome.Wheelchair and scooter users have the same options as all our other guests:<ul><li>Go on shore independently.</li><li>Take a taxi (the shore experiences team on board can help arrange this).</li><li>Join a shore experience. However, we recommend that you consider the amount and type of movement involved, which is indicated in each shore experience’s description.</li><li>Arrange a private, personalised experience (the shore experiences team on board can help arrange this).</li></ul>Transport on ‘standard’ shore experiencesThe mode of transport used for each experience is noted in the tour description on My Cunard.The experiences we offer involve a variety of transportation types (e.g. coach, minibus, boat etc.) which vary in size and age from port to port. Each has different accessibility and storage facilities.Generally, full-size coaches can accommodate a limited number of small, collapsible scooters or manual wheelchairs in the hold. Guests or their companions have the responsibility for collapsing wheelchairs/scooters and placing them on the coach. If this isn’t possible, the wheelchair/scooter would need to stay on the ship as there are no storage facilities at the quayside.Where minibuses/trolley trains are used to operate shore experiences, the storage space is too small to accommodate wheelchairs or scooters.Accessible shore experiences and vehiclesAn Accessible Shore Experience Guide is sent to guests who are full-time manual and electric wheelchair users and those guests who advise us they can’t board a coach. This guide has details of what experiences we can offer using an accessible vehicle, and it gives information about accessibility in the port if guests are keen to explore independently.Due to health and safety reasons, mobility scooters can’t be used on our accessible shore experiences as they can’t be safely secured inside the vehicles. If you’re a full-time scooter user or if you’d like an alternative option, we can arrange private shore experiences. To enquire about one of these, please contact <a title="Mail" href="mailto:accessibility@carnivalukgroup.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accessibility@carnivalukgroup.com&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;no later than two weeks prior to your holiday departure date.You can take an electric wheelchair on some accessible shore experiences. However we must ensure the combined weight of the wheelchair and user is less than 180kgs. It’s advisable, where possible, to take a manual wheelchair instead as they’re always suited to the accessible vehicles.Accessible shore experiences are charged to your on-board account. If you’re entitled to receive a loyalty discount, it will be applied.If you use a wheelchair or scooter part-time, we recommend you join a ‘standard’ shore experience and store your wheelchair/scooter in the hold of the coach or vehicle (providing it collapses). However, if you prefer, you can request for an Accessible Shore Experience Guide to be sent to you. Please call our Customer Contact Centre on 0344 338 8641 or email&nbsp;<a title="Mail" href="mailto: accessibility@carnivalukgroup.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accessibility@carnivalukgroup.com</a>&nbsp;to arrange this.Wheelchair accessible minibuses are only available in a few ports and can only accept full-time manual wheelchair users for safety reasons.All the accessible vehicles we use and tours that are arranged locally are sourced from reputable and competent operators. They’re fully insured, have safety management systems in place and comply with all prevailing local rules, regulations and standards. The health, safety and comfort of our guests is paramount. However please be mindful that local country standards may not reflect those at home.Written commentary for deaf/hard of hearing guestsIf you let us know prior to sailing that you’d like written commentary of a shore experience, we’ll work with the tour agent and do our best to provide this for you. Please call our Customer Contact Centre on&nbsp; 0344 338 8641 as soon as possible to request this.
