Virgin Cruises

Virgin Voyages offer a range of cruises across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Alaska, Mexico and New England.

Their website is packed with a lot of accessibility information and you can find out more on this link Accessibility. One of the biggest challanges disabled people have with cruises is the use of tenders to reach the shore. These are when the boat anchors in the water and a smaller boat comes alongside to take you to the shore. A helpful list of ports this applies to and what this means can be found on thier website as well (please note this might differ for other companies)-

There are lots of good videos on their Youtube to show life on board. I had looked at a virtual travel club meet up one month based on this but the vids are too long for a full session- Virgin Voyages - YouTube
