Trip Types

Accessible Travel

There is a difference between a place saying it is accessible and it actually being so. We find out before you book.

Can you plan a trip that works for a wheelchair, sensory needs or medical equipment?

Yes, and the most important part is confirming the details before you book. We ask resorts, cruise lines and ground operators specific questions about rooms, distances, equipment and services, then get the answers in writing. When a destination genuinely cannot accommodate your family, we tell you honestly and find one that can.


Who it suits

Who it suits

Families and travelers who need the trip to work for a specific body, not an average one.

Families travelling with a child who has sensory needs, autism or a disability. Travellers who use a wheelchair, a walker or a scooter. Anyone travelling with oxygen, equipment or medical needs. And grandparents who want to come and are not sure they still can.

The answer is usually yes. It just takes knowing which version of the trip to book.


What we check

What we check that a website will not tell you

The details that decide whether a trip actually works.

Which resorts are genuinely quiet

Not the ones described as relaxing, the ones where a child who is overwhelmed has somewhere to go.

What an accessible room actually contains

A roll-in shower and a bath with a grab rail are both described the same way. They are not the same room.

How far the walk really is

From the room to the bus stop, from the bus stop to the gate, from the gate to the first ride. Distances that never appear in a description and decide the whole day.

How the parks' accessibility services actually work

What they do, what they do not, and what to have ready before you arrive.

Which sailings run dedicated support

Some cruises carry trained staff and structured programmes for families travelling with autism. Most do not.


What we handle

What we handle

The specifics that turn a maybe into a yes.

  • Accommodation confirmed rather than assumed, in writing, with the specifics
  • Park accessibility services, including what to prepare in advance
  • Equipment rental and delivery to the room or the ship
  • Oxygen approval, arranged ahead with the airline and the cruise line
  • Transfers with a vehicle that actually takes the equipment
  • Dining and dietary needs communicated before you arrive
  • Quiet spaces, rest days and a plan with room to leave early

THE DIFFERENCE

Why work with an advisor

Sometimes the honest answer is that it will not work. That is the most useful thing we can tell you.

We tell you before you book, not after

A client came to us wanting a river cruise. It would not have worked. River ships are small, many have no lift between decks, the cabin doors are often too narrow, and the gangway moves with the water level. It is marketed as the gentle way to see Europe and it is one of the hardest. So we found the version that did work. A transatlantic crossing out, a land tour through a region we knew could accommodate them, and a transatlantic back. They saw Europe. They just did not see it the way they first imagined.

We plan the day around the person

Rest built in, a quiet place to go, and no shame in leaving at two o'clock.

We confirm rather than assume

If a resort tells us a room is accessible, we ask what that means specifically and we get it in writing.

Some places genuinely cannot

When that is the answer we will say so, and then we will find you something your family will love that can.
