Accessible Cruising with Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises is renowned for delivering a premium, modern luxury experience that spans the globe. With a commitment to inclusivity, Celebrity ensures that all guests, regardless of physical disabilities or special needs, can embark on an unforgettable and relaxing vacation. From the innovative Edge® Series to their beautifully modernized classic fleets, Celebrity Cruises has designed its ships to be welcoming, accessible, and easily navigable for everyone.

Accessible Staterooms and Onboard Mobility

To accommodate guests with mobility challenges, Celebrity Cruises offers carefully designed accessible staterooms across its entire fleet. These staterooms provide ample turning space for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and feature:

  • Wider entrance and bathroom doors
  • No threshold or ramped entryways
  • Roll-in showers with grab bars and fold-down benches
  • Lowered sink and vanity areas
  • Lowered closet rods and safe accessibility

Beyond the staterooms, Celebrity’s ships are built for easy navigation. Guests will find spacious corridors, accessible public restrooms, and designated accessible seating in main dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and theaters. Pool lifts are also available on most ships to help guests safely enjoy the swimming areas.

Visual and Hearing Accommodations

Celebrity Cruises provides a wide array of services to ensure guests with visual and hearing impairments can fully engage in the cruise experience.

For guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, the cruise line provides portable room kits that include visual and tactile alerts for door knocks, telephone rings, and smoke detectors. Closed-captioned televisions are available in staterooms, and assistive listening systems are equipped in the main theaters. Sign language interpreting services can also be arranged on sailings to and from the U.S. and Canada (advance notice is required).

For guests who are blind or have low vision, ships are equipped with Braille and tactile signage in public spaces, elevators, and stateroom hallways. Menus and daily itineraries can be provided in large print upon request, and qualified service dogs are warmly welcomed onboard.

Autism-Friendly Cruise Line

Recognized as an Autism Friendly Cruise Line, Celebrity has implemented comprehensive initiatives for families living with autism and developmental disabilities. Their youth program staff receives specialized training, and ships offer autism-friendly toys, sensory-friendly films, and priority boarding options to ensure a smooth, stress-free environment for families.
