Accessible getaways abroad: The world’s most accessible cruises

For our latest post we’re doing something a little different. Rather than a specific destination, we’re picking out just a few of our favourite accessible cruises.

The cruises we’ve chosen here give you lots of time to relax on board. But they also give you plenty of sights and stopovers to keep you entertained.

So, from spectacular Scandinavian fjords to some of the most fascinating cities in the world, here’s our pick of the world’s best accessible cruises.

Norwegian Cruise Lines: Explore Scandinavia, Russia & the Baltic

Norwegian Cruise Lines have done an excellent job of making their ships as accessible as possible. Their fleet features 27 wheelchair-accessible staterooms adapted bathrooms and easily accessible doors. They also make it easy to enjoy any on board entertainment too, with accessible spaces in their theatres.

Our pick of their cruises is the 9 day tour of Scandinavia, Russia & the Baltic that leaves from Copenhagen. This wonderful cruise includes stopovers in Tallinn, St Petersburg and Stockholm.

The team at Norwegian Cruise Line only ask that you give them plenty of notice about any mobility requirements you have. Let them know when you book – or at least 45 days before departure. There is more information about the accessibility of their various cruises here.

P&O: A Mediterranean adventure

We’ve also been very impressed by how accessible P&O cruises are. Of course, they’re one of the biggest names in the cruise business, and they have an excellent reputation. They currently have eight ships in their fleet and many of these have adapted cabins. These have wider doorways and plenty of room for your scooter.

There’s a useful overview of all of the on board facilities on their mobility page here. The team at P&O simply ask that you declare your scooter (and any mobility needs you might have) when you book. 

Out of their current cruises, we’ve chosen a 14 night cruise of the Mediterranean on the Britannia, which has 33 wheelchair accessible cabins. It stops off in a number of ports, including Barcelona, Cannes, Rome and Gibraltar.

Saga: An epic journey around Latin America

Saga are synonymous with holidays for older people, and so their teams are used to dealing with customers with different mobility needs. They only have three ships, the Saga Pearl II, the Saga Sapphire and the brand-new Spirit of Discovery. But they all have cabins that have been specially adapted for those of us who use a mobility scooter.

Our pick of their cruises has to be their remarkable 83 night journey around South America (including a trip around Cape Horn!). You’ll have the chance to cruise along the Amazon, visit Buenos Aires and even cross the Panama Canal. An unforgettable, once in a lifetime trip.

For a great overview of some of the best cruise lines for those of us with different mobility needs, check out this guide here. In general terms, all the cruise companies here ask that you give them plenty of notice of any needs you might have. Our advice is always to do this when you book.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that for health and safety reasons there are certain forms of assistance that cruise staff may not be able to give. For example, Saga won’t carry passengers up and down gangways in ports other than the ones where you embark and disembark from. So, it’s always worth checking the details early, before you’re at sea!

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Melbourne, Australia

Great weather, a fantastic standard of living and plenty of art and culture. It all adds up to making Melbourne one of the most desirable places to live in the world. It’s no surprise that the Australian city regularly ranks among the most ‘livable’ cities on the planet.

And while we’re not suggesting that you sell up and move there straightaway, it certainly makes for a great getaway. It is packed with plenty to keep you busy, from wonderful museums and art galleries to fantastic places to eat. And you never know, once you’re there you might never want to leave!

So, here is our guide to the most accessible sights in the wonderful city of Melbourne, Australia.

Enjoy some of the best food in the world

There are lots of cities that describe themselves as a ‘melting pot’, but Melbourne truly is the real deal. Generations of immigrants, plus Australia’s (relatively) close proximity to South East Asia make this country – and Melbourne in particular – a food-lover’s dream.

There is so much choice it is almost impossible to pick a favourite: whatever your tastes, you’re sure to find it in Melbourne. If you fancy Thai, head to Cookie. After a spicy, authentic curry? Check out Tonka. And finally, if you just want to sample some great Aussie food, we don’t think you can beat Cutler & Co..

Quingo Scooters Accessible Melbourne

Pick up a bargain at Camberwell Market

Melbourne does markets brilliantly. It’s home to the largest open-air market in the country (the wonderful Queen Victoria Market). But our pick is the excellent Camberwell Market. It is the perfect place to pick up antiques and curios.

Held every Sunday in a vast car part the market is easily accessible for those of us who use a mobility scooter. It’s not completely level but the stalls are wide enough apart to make it easy to get around.

The range of things you can find here is truly mind-boggling. From rare books to antique coal scuttles or vintage clothing, it’s the kind of place where you never quite know what you’re going to leave with. Happy browsing!

Get your art fix at the National Gallery

Melbourne isn’t all about food and shopping: it also has rich cultural life too. The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is a must-see. It is completely accessible and has over 75,000 works of art to enjoy.

As you’d expect there are plenty of wonderful examples of Australian art here, from the arrival of the Europeans to 1980. But there is also a fascinating collection of indigenous pieces that includes beautiful examples of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

There’s so much to see here that we recommend a guided tour if you’re pressed for time and just want the highlights. These run daily and are on the hour from 11am to 2pm.

It’s free to enter, and you can find out more about accessing the collections on your scooter here.

Explore the great outdoors

Wilson’s Promontory National Park (known as ‘the Prom’) is stunning. It’s the ideal place to experience some of the spectacular natural wonders of this part of the world. Parks Victoria have done an excellent job of making as much of this beautiful area as accessible to all as possible.

You’ll see everything from wombats to kangaroos here, but for us it is coastline itself that is the real star.

While not all of the trails here are accessible, the Loo-Errn Track has been adapted so that scooter users can access it easily. There are also TrailRider all-terrain beach wheelchairs available if you want to head out onto the sand.

Did you know?

Melbourne was very nearly called Batmania after John Batman, one of the founders of the city!

Getting to Melbourne

Qantas are the only airline to fly direct to Melbourne from the UK, and they have regular flights from London Heathrow. As always, we strongly suggest that you let the airline know of any particular mobility requirements you have when you book.

Other options include flying to Brisbane or Sydney and then taking an internal flight to Melbourne.

Once you’re in Melbourne airport itself, there are travelators and lifts to help you to get through the terminal. There is a full breakdown of all of the facilities available in their online accessibility guide. It also includes helpful maps of the airport.

The handy SkyBus shuttle is also fully accessible, and represents the quickest and easiest way to get to the city centre. It leaves every 10 minutes and costs $19.75 one-way.

For general information about getting about in and around Melbourne, head to the city’s official tourism site. It’s packed with lots of useful information, including a mobility map of the centre and help on using public transport. There are lifts at all of the metropolitan train stations and many of the trams also have low floors for access. Most of the buses are also accessible too.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Portland, Oregon

The state of Oregon is a wonderful place to explore. It’s full of wild trails and stunning scenery. But we think the highly accessible city of Portland is a real jewel in the state’s crown.

The ‘City of Roses’ is a varied place, full of friendly people and rich experiences for the visitor. From beautiful gardens to delicious street food, this diverse city makes for a great getaway. So, here is Quingo Scooter’s guide to the very best of Portland, Oregon.

Browse the largest bookstore in the world

No, it’s not Amazon. Rather, this is the real thing – a proper bricks and mortar book shop like you’ve never seen before. Powell’s City of Books in Portland is absolutely huge, covering an entire block. It bills itself as the largest new and used bookstore in the world. And with over a million books under one roof it’s hard to argue.

Clearly, if you love books then you will love Powell’s. But even if you’re not a bibliophile this is a real Portland institution and well worth a visit. Like so many places in Portland it has a true community feel, and there are always regular events on in store.

There is accessible parking nearby on Couch and Burnside streets. The store is vast, but easy to get around and fully accessible to all, with ramps and lifts to all floors.

Explore the great outdoors

Portland (and Oregon as a whole) is defined by the Great Outdoors. If you visit at the right time (we recommend summer or autumn), then there are a host of accessible trails to explore in and around the city. Hitting a trail is also a great way to get a lay of the land, as many of them offer spectacular views of the city.

Our pick is the accessible Fanno Creek trail, which is a couple of miles long and paved throughout. There is also a very helpful collection of accessible trails here.

Mount Tabor Park is also easily accessible with paved trails, accessible picnic spots and great views from the top of the hill. It’s an old volcano, and a beautiful place to watch the sun come up if you get there early enough!

Enjoy some great street food

Portland has a well-earned reputation among foodies. There are street food carts all over the city, and there are a number of so-called cart pods (groups of food carts) to choose from. One of our favourites is the excellent Prost Marketplace which is packed with carts. Fancy trying some traditional Persian food? Head to the wonderful Caspian Kabob cart – their ‘Kubideh Kabob’ is unmissable.

There is also great overview of some of the best of Portland’s street carts and a handy map of some of the best locations, here.

Escape the hustle and bustle in a Chinese garden

With regular events that include live cello performances, flower arranging and ‘tea and poetry’ gatherings, Lan Su is the place to escape from it all. To be honest, Portland isn’t a particularly overwhelming city. But even so, this wonderful walled Chinese garden can be a welcome haven in downtown.

Of course, the plants and flowers that grow here are a huge attraction. But it we also love the accessible teahouse too. Enjoy sipping a cup of green tea while you soak up the atmosphere.

Talking of soaking – it rains a lot in Portland, especially in the springtime. But the Lan Su garden is one of the best places to visit when it rains. You can see over seventy per cent of it via the covered walkways. Also, much of the garden has been designed to create calming effects when it rains.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Portland Lan Su Chinese garden

Did you know?

The name of the city was decided by its two founders on a coin toss. If things had gone the other way, it would now be known as Boston!

Getting to Portland

There are regular flights to Portland from the London airports, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

As usual, we recommend that you let your airline know of any mobility requirements you might have when you book. Portland’s airport team will also help you to get to your onward transport. Check out their accessibility page here, and look out for their helpful assistants too. They wear royal blue and can be found throughout the terminal if you need help.

To get into Portland itself, we recommend taking an accessible shuttle. There is contact information for all of the providers here. There are also the Trimet Max/Light Rail accessible trains into town every 15 minutes. You’ll need to take the Red line – find the platform at the south end of the ticket area (it’s just past the Starbucks!).

Getting around Portland itself is also straightforward. The kerbs are generally low and ‘rollable’. There are also plenty of accessible cabs – we recommend the excellent Broadway – just call them on +1 503-333-3333. The buses are also completely accessible, and you can plan any journeys online, here.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Venice

Venice is uniquely beautiful. This magical city is famous the world over for its canals and historic bridges. And yet these attractions are also what put many people off visiting with their mobility scooter. To many visitors with mobility issues, Venice might seem like too much of a challenge.

We think that is a real shame, as you are missing out on one of the world’s most fascinating getaways. Despite what you might think, Venice is surprisingly accessible. Over half the city is accessible without having to cross any of the bridges.

The even better news is that Venice also has no cobbles at all. The streets are paved, and of course, they are almost all completely pedestrianized. And many of the key sights are accessible to all.

So, with that in mind, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to an accessible getaway in this wonderful city.

Gaze in awe at St. Mark’s Basilica

You will have no problem spotting St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice. It’s the big, beautiful building with the long queue outside it, snaking onto St. Mark’s Square. But don’t let that put you off. As a mobility scooter user, you can skip the queue. There is a specially adapted accessible entrance on the left side of the church.

And you’ll certainly be glad you made the effort to see this architectural wonder. St. Mark’s is popular, and with good reason. The Basilica is stunning: full of exotic treasures and breathtakingly colourful mosaics. The Basilica itself is fully accessible inside, as is the Treasury via the ramped Porta dei Fiori. You can also access the Museum using either the lift or the stair lifts.

Visit the Doge’s Palace

The second most popular attraction in Venice, the Doge’s Palace is a must-see. It’s right next to the Basilica on St. Mark’s Square. You can access this impressive building by using the ‘exit’ close to the Basilica. And again, using this accessible entrance also means you get to dodge the long queues!

So, who was the Doge, and why did they have such a stunning palace? Well, back when Venice was a republic, the Doge (meaning ‘Duke’) was the ruler of this powerful nation. The palace acted as the administrative centre of the republic.

And as the nation grew richer, so did the building itself. Today, it’s one of Venice’s most famous buildings, and it is largely accessible. There are lifts to the upper floors, and ramps throughout.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Venice Doges Palace

Take to the water!

You can’t go to Venice without exploring some of the city’s many canals. When you see this unique city from the water, everything falls into place. The main way that most people get around Venice is by the vaporetto.

These water buses are the perfect way to get to different neighbourhoods. They are also generally accessible, with ramped access. The main lines down the Grand Canal do get busy however, so try to time your journey accordingly.

Of course, the truly classic Venetian experience is to take a trip on a gondola. And while many of these traditional boats aren’t accessible to those of us with mobility issues, the picture is improving.

Head down to the accessible pier close to the Piazzale Roma and you will find the excellent Gondolas4all. There is a lift from the pier and a fully accessible gondola, so that you can enjoy seeing the city in style! Find out more about them and book online here.

Explore the Campo Santa Margherita

This gorgeous square near to the San Basilio station is well worth exploring. There are plenty of things to do in this neighbourhood. Browse in the souvenir shops or pick up some local arts and crafts on Calle delle Botteghe.

The square and the surrounding area are all paved and level, and easily accessible on your mobility scooter. There are also plenty of street cafes and restaurants here where you can sit and watch the world go by. Our recommendation is the lovely Caffe Rosso, which has been around since the 1800s. Their pastries (and of course their coffee) are perfect.

Did you know?

The alder wood piles that support the city’s buildings don’t actually come from Italy. The wood originally grew in forests in Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro.

Getting to Venice

There are regular daily flights to Venice from the London airports, Birmingham, Manchester and Bristol.

We always recommend that you let your airline know of any mobility requirements you might have when you book. At Venice’s Marco Polo airport itself, there is an excellent special assistance service available. Just let the team there know and they will guide you through the airport and onto the next stage of your journey. Get in touch with them here.

There are several options for getting to the city itself from the airport – including water taxi! To find out more, head to the dedicated page here. One of the easiest ways to get into the city is to use one of the accessible Alilaguna boats – find out more here.

For a great overview of the accessibility of different areas of the city, take a look at the city council’s handy official map.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Moscow

Moscow feels like a city built for giants. The scale of the place is incredible. The roads are wide. The buildings are monumental and the parks are vast. And then, there is also the great weight of history in this ancient city.

Surely there are few other places (Berlin perhaps?) where so many momentous events have taken place. You can feel it in every brick and stone, red star and golden dome.

But then this can also be a surprisingly accessible city too. Full of historic and artistic wonders, it is actually a wonderful place to visit for a few days. It makes for the perfect getaway for those of us who use a mobility scooter.

With that in mind, here is our pick of the must-see sights for your next trip to Moscow.

Visit the Bolshoi Ballet

The Russian capital is synonymous with ballet, and the Bolshoi is its spiritual home. This wonderful building is wheelchair accessible and is the perfect place to see some of the world’s greatest performers.


Founded in 1776, the Bolshoi is one of Moscow’s most important institutions. Incredibly, the building itself has been burned down numerous times, but this remarkable theatre lives on. It was renovated most recently in 2011.

Today it is home to both a world-class ballet company and an opera company. Both hold daily performances, although tickets sell out fast – as you would expect. To book one of the accessible spaces for a performance, head to their official site, here.

Enjoy some of the world’s greatest art

Moscow is a true cultural centre and a wonderful place to see some of the greatest art ever made. One of the best places to get a taste of this is the magnificent Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. It is huge, and packed with works from the Impressionists to Botticelli, Rembrandt to Degas.

It’s a fascinating place to explore. And while there is plenty of incredible original art, some of the most interesting rooms are actually the ones full of reproductions. The Greek and Italian courtyards are beautiful. They are one of the few places where you can see marble copies of the statues from the Parthenon alongside Michelangelo’s David!

The Pushkin is not completely accessible, but large parts of it are. You can find out more about how to explore it using your mobility scooter here.

We also recommend that you contact the museum team directly before your visit to discuss your specific arrangements. Call them on 7(985)863-39-84 or email them at [email protected]

Get some retail therapy in GUM

You should visit the huge GUM department store on Red Square, if only for its wonderful position. With views of the Kremlin and St Basil’s Cathedral, the setting couldn’t be better.

But it is also a great place to indulge in a little retail therapy too. GUM is a real Soviet-era relic. Under the Soviets, GUM was known as the State Department Store.

Where GUM now stands has long been an important commercial centre for Muscovites. A building on the site was originally commissioned by Empress Catherine the Great.

Today, this magnificent building is well worth a visit. Its spectacular vaulted roof is an architectural marvel, and the whole place is fully accessible too. So whether you want to buy some traditional amber jewellery, some valenki felted boots or even a fur hat, GUM is the place to go.

Roam through Gorky Park

Moscow’s most famous park is great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Named after the great Russian writer Maxim Gorky, the park has also played a role in plenty of spy dramas too! The park today is somewhere where Muscovites love to go to exercise and relax.

The park has been redeveloped and revamped relatively recently, and is a clean, safe, communal green space to spend time in. Gorky Park is full of things to do – from boat hire to ping pong, it is a place where people like to meet and unwind.

We loved the atmosphere here, and it provides a welcome break from the more touristy parts of the city. And with flat level paths throughout it is also fully accessible to all.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Moscow Gorky Park

Did you know?

There are more billionaires living in Moscow than in any other city in the world!

Getting to Moscow

Getting to Moscow from the UK is straightforward. There are regular daily flights from the London airports, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.

As usual, make sure your airline knows of any special requirements you might have when you book. Once you’ve arrived in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, there is also an excellent special assistance service. You can find out more details here. Or, you can give the team a call on +7 (495) 578-65-65 to make arrangements.

Sheremetyevo’s Aeroexpress train is the quickest and easiest way to get into the city centre. This accessible shuttle runs every half an hour or so. It is also possible to get a personal assistant for the journey. Just head to the Aeroexpress site here to book.

Sadly, Moscow’s beautiful subway system is completely inaccessible to those of us with mobility scooters. Until things change, the newer city buses and trams are a good option for getting around. For more details, take a look at the Moscow Mayor’s official site, here.

There is also an excellent private taxi service, Invaxi, which has plenty of specially adapted vehicles. Get in touch with them directly, here.

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane.
