While a Celebrity ship
is a destination in
itself, a big part of a
cruise vacation is the
opportunity to explore
our many ports of call
with one of the many
shore excursions we
offer. While not every
port of call may be
conducive to wheelchair
transportation,
Celebrity will make
every effort to
accommodate our guests
wherever and whenever
possible. Our
experienced staff can
help you choose tours
that are best suited to
your particular needs.
Onboard Casino
Join us in Celebrity's
accessible casino where
you can try your hand at
a variety of games
including Blackjack,
Electronic Slot
Machines, Craps and
Roulette.
Onboard Medical
Services
Every Celebrity ship
offers limited
professional medical
services - for a
reasonable fee - through
independently
contracted, licensed
(international or
domestic) physicians and
nurses.
Airport
Transportation
If requested in advance,
Celebrity can arrange
for lift-equipped buses
to transfer guests
between the airport and
the pier. This service
is offered at no extra
charge to our air/sea
guests or those who have
purchased cruise-only
transfers. See a travel
agent for details.
Extra Assistance at
the Pier
Celebrity Cruises offers
boarding and departure
assistance to guests
with mobility
impairments. Please
request special
assistance once you
arrive at the pier or
contact us prior to your
cruise.
Special Equipment
Celebrity Cruises has a
variety of equipment
available onboard, such
as shower stools, bed
extensions, raised
toilet seats and
transfer benches. Please
contact us prior to
boarding if interested.
Traveling from Ship
to Shore
Occasionally, port
facilities, congestion
and weather make it
impossible to berth our
ships at a particular
port of call, at which
point our ship will be
anchored offshore and
small boats (tenders)
are used to travel back
and forth. Celebrity
will make every attempt
to accommodate each
guest at every port.
However, at some
tendered ports, guests
may find some difficulty
in transferring from the
ship to the tender. The
safety of our guests and
crew is always foremost
in our mind and the
decision to tender any
guest is made by
Celebrity in each case.
Tender status of all
ports is subject to
change without notice.
Celebrity has begun the
installation of lifts
that will make the
tendering process for
guests with mobility
impairments smooth and
stress-free. Please
check with us for
specific vessel
information.

Guests requiring

Celebrity Cruises does

Please contact us for
more information on

All types of oxygen are

cylinders in the
stateroom.

Celebrity Cruises cannot
accept guests who will
have entered their third
trimester of pregnancy
(27th week) at the

us if you have already
booked your cruise and
