Top 6 Accessible Cruises from Barcelona

accessible-cruises-from-barcelona Choosing an accessible Barcelona cruise with accessible shore excursions can be extremely difficult. Just try calling the shore excursions department of any cruise line, and the first thing that will come out of their mouth is “Europe doesn’t have the Americans with Disabilities Act”!

Below we have listed several accessible Barcelona cruises where we can provide accessible excursions in the vast majority of the ports of call. This makes up for the fact that cruise lines do not offer accessible shore excursions in most Mediterranean ports.

One of the benefits of choosing a cruise that departs from Barcelona is that there are numerous accessible Barcelona tourist attractions to visit including the enormous Sagrada Familia church, the historic Barcelona Cathedral, the wheelchair-friendly underground Roman Ruins, the Picasso Museum, and a wheelchair accessible beach. An accessible Barcelona walking tour allows you to visit many of these attractions using step-free routes.

If you book your cruise through Sage Traveling, we provide our Barcelona accessible trip planning services for FREE, which includes recommendations for accessible Barcelona hotel rooms in wheelchair-friendly areas near Las Ramblas, near an accessible beach, or in the Gothic Quarter neighborhood. You also will receive the 52 page Barcelona Accessibility Guide for free.
