Top 4 Accessible Cruises by Disney

barcelona-accessible-cruise-vacation-2 Each summer, Disney sends one cruise ship to Europe to conduct several Mediterranean sailings. The accessible Disney cruises start and finish in either Barcelona or Venice, and include 7 night itineraries, 9 night itineraries, and 12 night itineraries. The 7 night Western Mediterranean cruise is the most common itinerary.

These wheelchair accessible Disney cruises sail on the Disney Magic cruise ship which was built in 1998 and holds 2400 passengers. It has 17 wheelchair accessible cabins.

On the various itineraries, the Disney Magic visits 15 different ports but only offers accessible shore excursions in 6 of the ports. Don’t worry about that though….Sage Traveling offers a selection of accessible walking and driving shore excursions in all 15 ports.

In the Mediterranean, there is only one Disney ship and limited sailings so be sure to contact us far in advance so we can reserve a spot for you.
