There’s nothing better than having a nice holiday to look forward to! If you’re not sure what type of holiday you fancy – whether it be it a staycation, a beach holiday or a cruise – Quingo Scooters have been sharing some holiday ideas!

This week we have a bit of modern luxury to share with you, another cruise courtesy of Celebrity Cruises.  Consistently voted one of the top cruise lines in the world, you’re guaranteed to feel like a celebrity with accessible accommodation, award-winning gourmet dining and an impressive choice of destinations.

QUINGO ACCESSIBLE HOLIDAYS: CELEBRITY CRUISES 2

Cruises

There are a number of different cruise ships and destinations, with many departing from the UK. You can travel to the historic Mediterranean, the picturesque Norwegian Fjords or the relaxing beaches of the Canary Islands. Whatever kind of destination and holiday you’re after, there’s definitely something to suit you.

Aboard the cruise ships you’ll be treated to first-class accommodation, live entertainment and most importantly a warm customer experience. All Solstice Class ships feature a real grass lawn, where you can enjoy picnics, open air concerts or simply relax with a drink.

In terms of food, the Lawn Club Grill (on Celebrity Silhouette and Celebrity Reflection) serves a great range of meats, as well as baking their own speciality breads. However there is much choice, with up to 12 eateries and cafes on each ship. There’s something to cater for whatever you’re fancying – from Tuscan Grille with their Italian flavours to modern French cuisine at Murano. There’s plenty to do at night aboard the ship with the ice-frosted Martini Bar, the casino and some chic nightclubs.

Quingo Accessible Holidays: Flora Apartments, Majorca

At this time of year everyone’s off on their holidays, whether it’s at home or abroad! Quingo Scooters are always browsing for new places to visit, and we understand just how important is to find somewhere fully accessible where you can be completely comfortable.

We’ve been sharing some accessible holidays with you over the last couple of months, helping you find the perfect location for your summer getaway. Today we’re heading to the Mediterranean to the beautiful Balearic island of Majora, Puerto Pollensa to be exact.

Puerto Pollensa

Located in northern Majorca, Spain, Puerto Pollensa is situated about 6km east of the town of Pollenca and two kilometres southeast of Cala Sant Vicenç. The most northerly town in Majorca, Pollença is split into several main areas: Pine walk, Boquer, Central, Siller, Pinaret, Llenaire and Gotmar.

The town has also historically been a place of interest for the famous. In the early 20th century, Agatha Christie visited Pollensa and stayed at a hotel in the Pine Walk area. She then went on to describe the town in her book, ‘Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories’.

The 4 star Aparthotel Flora is a great destination for all groups of holidaymakers – families, couples or singles.  The apartments offer fully equipped and newly renovated apartments and a very big pool area.

Located directly in Puerto Pollensa, you are only 200 metres away from the sandy golden beach. You have everything on your doorstep with Flora Apartments, whether you want to visit local attractions or simply have a relaxing day on the beach – there’s definitely something for everyone.

If you don’t fancy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen of your apartment, you can treat yourself to a meal out in the spacious restaurant located in the complex.
