Autism

Autism is one of the fastest growing diagnoses for developmental disorders in the world. Cruise lines understand it is important to cater to these special needs so that everyone in the family has a memorable vacation.

The cruise lines that have taken an initiative to become Autism friendly offer services such as:

• Priority check-in
• Early embarkation and disembarkation
• Flexible age grouping for kid’s programs
• Pagers or phones for parents with children participating in the kid’s programs
• Autism Friendly Films (lights will be left on and people are encouraged to talk and walk around)
• Special considerations during the Muster Drill

*Services may vary from ship to ship and should be verified at the time of booking with your special needs agent.
