Passengers are welcome to bring their own equipment too such as hoists.

Modified are for guests who use a wheelchair or mobility aid – Accessible are ideal for wheelchair users and include ample turning space, clear routes throughout the cabin, lifts include buttons within reach of wheelchair bound passengers and audible signals for the sight impaired.

If you are wanting to take extra equipment on board or you do not own your own wheelchair you are able to hire most equipment needed for your cruise from Mobility At Sea  they have a huge range of equipment for hire and are well worth getting in touch with,

As always anything else you need let me know.
