Important Notes
Not all cabins are accessible and purpose-built accessible cabins are in limited supply on every ship. TTY phones, vibrating alarm clocks and the other items noted in the Special Needs section for each ship are also in limited supply and must be confirmed at the time of booking.
The rates on our site represent starting rates for the least expensive categories of inside, oceanview, balcony and suite cabins currently available. While cruise lines cannot charge more for wheelchair-accessible cabins than for non-accessible cabins in the same category, wheelchair-accessible cabins are generally not available in all categories and may not be available in the categories shown on our site. You must verify availability with a Vacations To Go cruise counselor at the time of booking.
Each cruise line requires passengers with special needs to submit a Special Needs Form (supplied by Vacations To Go) prior to sailing.
* The Special Needs information shown for each ship was provided by the cruise line. Vacations To Go is not responsible for any errors or omissions of information. Special Needs information is not available for all cruise ships and is subject to change. For information on a ship not mentioned above, please ask one of our cruise counselors (800-998-6902) to inquire directly with the cruise line on your behalf.
