EASY & ACCESSIBLE EXCURSIONS

These easy tours are available for all guests and are wheelchair accessible. This program is designed to provide memorable, enjoyable experiences for limited-mobility guests, seniors, and anyone who enjoys a slower pace, as well as their families.

Easy & Accessible excursions are unique in that they offer:

• Completely step-free tour routes
• Wheelchair Accessible vehicles
• Shorter distances
• Slower pace
• Accessible restrooms with wide doors along the route
• Professional and compassionate tour guides experienced in working with senior and limited mobility clients

Easy & Accessible shore excursions use accessible vehicles equipped with either a ramp or lift for easy wheelchair access.

Our Easy & Accessible shore experiences have been designed and vetted over many years by world-renowned accessibility experts at Accessible Travel Solutions and by travellers with disabilities. Routes are verified and tested consistently to meet the high standards set by MSC Cruises.

To make these tours more enjoyable, group sizes are smaller than regular tours – these are not large motor coach groups. For most tours, small accessible vans are used.

The tour guides conducting these accessible tours have several years of experience in touring with limited mobility guests and their families. They are patient, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Please note that guides are not permitted to push wheelchairs. Guests in wheelchairs must be able to self-propel or have a companion push them.

Accessible shore excursions are authentic experiences, designed to limit the amount of walking, without compromising on the experience. If you are asking yourself: “Will I get to leave the bus?”, the answer is “Yes!”.
While other tours labelled as “accessible” only allow you to see the destination through a bus window, MSC Cruises has partnered with Accessible Travel Solutions to offer wheelchair accessible shore excursions that include inside visits to castles, churches, museums, palaces, and historic ruins.

For each Easy & Accessible tour, the maximum combined weight allowed (equipment + mobility user) as well as maximum equipment dimension allowed (height, length, and width) are provided in their tour description notes. Please make sure to carefully check and verify that your equipment respects the dimensions allowed before booking the tour.
