100% of the Ports of Call on this cruise have accessible shore excursion options, and the cruise visits 5 countries. What a great way for disabled travelers to explore Europe! Your 12-night wheelchair accessible Princess cruise starts in the modern city of Barcelona where you can dine on tasty tapas in the Gothic Quarter. The enormous Sagrada Familia basilica, which has been under construction for more than one hundred years, is one of the most impressive churches in all of Europe. Arrive a few days early and you can relax on a wheelchair accessible Mediterranean beach! Scenic drives through Provence and Tuscany are followed by visits to world-class attractions like the Colosseum, the Vatican, and Pompeii. Ancient Greek ruins in Athens, ancient Roman ruins in Ephesus, and ancient Byzantine ruins in Istanbul give you a taste of European history going back 2500 years. The windmills on Mykonos and the bridges & canals in Venice are some of the most iconic sights you’ll find anywhere in Europe.

Disney’s 7-Night Cruise from Barcelona is the most accessible Mediterranean cruise that Disney offers. All five of the ports on this cruise itinerary have accessible shore excursion options that will work great for families. In Nice, an old town walk or an accessible beach visit are a couple of your options. In Livorno, kids will enjoy exploring medieval fortresses. Pizza in Rome, a boat tour around the island of Capri, and visiting the crater rim of Mount Vesuvius will also keep kids entertained! While some other Disney cruises also visit accessible ports, this itinerary has multiple sailing dates which earned it a spot on our Top 12 list!

3) Top Accessible 3 Week Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona
Senior travelers looking for a longer cruise will love this 3 week Holland America wheelchair accessible Mediterranean cruise. With 1 day in Spain, 1 day in France, 1 day in Monaco, 7 days in Italy, 3 days in Turkey, 6 days in Greece, 1 day in Montenegro, and 1 day in Croatia, you’ll visit seven different countries during your vacation!
Multiple sailing dates are available for this 3-week accessible cruise, but be sure you avoid the summer heat and the Venice flooding season!
Holland America doesn’t list any accessible shore excursions on their website and has not responded to our requests. Consequently, we have been unable to confirm that they have any truly accessible excursions. Don’t worry though, we can arrange top-notch accessible excursions in 94% of the ports!

4) Top Accessible Western Mediterranean Cruise from Rome
Although this 7 night Royal Caribbean cruise can also be boarded in Barcelona, I gave this itinerary my nod for the Top Western Mediterranean Accessible Cruise. You can easily spend 3 or 4 days before or after your cruise visiting the ancient, Renaissance, and Vatican sights in Rome.
Since the cruise departs every Thursday, it is a good idea to arrive in Italy on Thursday to board the boat, and then spend the weekend after the cruise in Rome’s city center. the Sage Accessibility Guide for Rome is included in our trip planning services. Learn more
