Tips for Inclusive Travel

Taking a 16-night Princess Cruise through the United Kingdom and Iceland offered my family an incredible opportunity to explore accessible travel across a range of destinations. We started and ended our journey in London, allowing us to enjoy the city’s accessibility offerings before setting sail. We found a fantastic deal for the cruise, which made it possible for all five of us to join. And since our youngest daughter had a dream of seeing Iceland’s natural beauty, this cruise was the perfect choice.

Over the course of the cruise, we made stops in several unique locations, including Weymouth, Falmouth, Cork, Reykjavik, Akureyri, Kirkwall, Inverness, and Edinburgh. 

1. Booking an Accessible Cruise

When it comes to accessible cruises, not all ships are created equal. We chose Princess® Cruises for our journey. While our ship, the Caribbean Princess was a bit older, it had thoughtful accessibility features. Most areas were accessible, but we encountered occasional hiccups. For instance, we sometimes found ourselves at the end of a hallway with stairs. Fortunately, the crew was always available to help.
