Traveling with a Disability? This Cruise is a Game-Changer
Cruising is already one of the most relaxing ways to travel—but when you're traveling with a disability, the right support can make it life-changing. That’s exactly why Wheel the World’s group-cruise options are setting a new standard. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a fully guided, thoughtfully designed, and genuinely accessible experience from the moment you step onboard until the final farewell.
Here's what makes this cruise a game-changer for accessible travel.
"This was actually my first cruise ever and now I’m completely spoiled. Virgin Voyages set the bar so high that I don’t think I could travel with any other cruise line. Everything about the experience felt intentional, inclusive, and elevated." - Anna Schmid
The ultimate accessible vacation
A Wheelchair-Friendly Cruise, Made for You
Unlike most cruise experiences, this one isn’t just "accessible by default." It’s accessible on purpose. Wheel the World’s team has carefully verified every aspect of this group trip—so travelers can explore, relax, and connect without worrying about barriers.
- Accessible Sea Terrace staterooms with roll-in showers, grab bars, and wide turning space.
- Fully wheelchair-friendly public spaces throughout the ship.
- All-access amenities like pool lifts, companion restrooms, and step-free entertainment venues.
Whether you're sipping a drink on the balcony or heading to a live show after dinner, the entire ship is set up for comfort and ease.
Shore Excursions That Don’t Leave You Behind
A huge pain point for many travelers with disabilities? Disembarking. But not here. This cruise includes a custom-designed accessible group shore excursion in Puerto Plata that brings the culture, flavors, and history of the Dominican Republic to life—without the stress of navigating inaccessible streets or attractions.
In Bimini, the experience continues at the Beach Club at Bimini, with beach wheelchairs, accessible restrooms, wooden pathways, and pool lifts for the ultimate tropical retreat.
Every stop is accessible—not just the ship.
"On beach day in Bimini, an accessible shuttle took us to the beach club, where I got to enjoy both the pool (thanks to a pool lift) and the ocean (with a beach wheelchair!). The entire beach club was thoughtfully designed with ramps, accessible changing areas, and just the most incredible energy." - Anna Schmid
Travel With a Tour Leader and Like-Minded Travelers
The cruise isn’t just accessible—it’s guided. Wheel the World provides a dedicated tour leader onboard to support travelers throughout the journey. If you've never been on an accessible group-trip, you need to try one! They are one of the more stress-free and enjoyable ways to travel. That's exactly what this cruise provides.
- Meet your fellow adventurers at a welcome dinner.
- Enjoy group activities, trivia nights, and casual gatherings.
- Take part in guided excursions designed to ensure access and inclusion.
Traveling with others who understand the experience of disability brings a sense of connection that solo cruising simply can’t offer.
"As someone who loves solo travel, I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed cruising with Wheel the World in a group setting. Traveling with this crew made everything more fun—from live shows and nightly dinners to the beach club, our Dominican Republic tour, and one absolutely hilarious karaoke night. I laughed so much on this trip." - Anna Schmid
Relaxation, Entertainment, and Luxury—Without the Guesswork
From high-end dining and cocktail bars to spa treatments and live entertainment, the ship is packed with options. And the best part? You don’t have to wonder if you’ll be able to access them. Everything has been verified.
- Dining options are step-free with ample room for mobility devices.
