Celebrity Cruises offers boarding and departure assistance to guests with mobility disabilities. Request assistance once you arrive at the pier or contact us prior to your cruise so that we may prioritize your needs during boarding. During peak times there may be a wait for assistance. Many ports provide easy access for wheelchairs and scooters, however due to various conditions: steepness of the gangway, tendering, weather, tidal and sea conditions, and shore-side facilities, guests using assistive devices may be precluded from getting on or off the ship. We will make reasonable efforts to assist our guests, but for safety reasons, our staff is not permitted to lift guests or equipment. Assistance with manual wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc. will be provided.
We provide reasonable mobility assistance to guests in accessing areas of the ship that are not accessible.
The following are examples of ports that require tender service to reach land and do not provide a direct ship to shore connection.
Guests may be required to walk a few steps down to the tendering platform in order to access the tender boats. The accessibility of the tender boats is subject to change.
