New Orleans, Louisiana

Accessible Travel and Cruise Support in New Orleans

New Orleans is a city of soul — where music flows through the streets, history lives in the architecture, and every corner offers something to taste, hear, or celebrate. Whether you’re here for Mardi Gras, a cruise, or a stroll through the French Quarter, Special Needs at Sea is here to support you with wheelchair and scooter rentals delivered to your hotel, ship, or accommodation. Let The Big Easy feel easy — from day one.

Experience the French Quarter with Ease

If you only have one day in New Orleans, the French Quarter is the place to start. With a mobility scooter or wheelchair rental, you can explore Jackson Square, where artists, musicians, and performers bring the city to life. Nearby landmarks like St. Louis Cathedral, the Cabildo, and the Presbytere are all wheelchair accessible and rich in history.

Take a scenic roll along the Moon Walk, the accessible promenade that follows the Mississippi River — a perfect spot to watch riverboats, cruise ships, and the timeless rhythm of New Orleans float by.

Accessible Dining in the Big Easy

New Orleans is as much about food as it is about music. Luckily, many of the city’s most iconic restaurants are wheelchair accessible. For fine French-Creole cuisine, you can’t go wrong with Antoine’s, Galatoire’s, Brennan’s, Broussard’s, or Arnaud’s. For something casual, try gumbo or jambalaya at Acme Oyster House, or grab an original beignet at the famous Café Du Monde.

History, Reflection & Shopping

Beyond the party, New Orleans invites reflection. The National WWII Museum is fully accessible and incredibly moving. Or explore the Hurricane Katrina Tour, which takes visitors through affected neighborhoods and shares the story of the city’s resilience. For accessible transportation on the Katrina tour, be sure to book at least 72 hours in advance.

Looking for retail therapy? Head to Riverwalk Marketplace, a wheelchair-friendly shopping mall with over 140 stores and restaurants. Nearby, you’ll find the colorful Spanish Plaza Fountain, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, and an IMAX theatre, all accessible and within walking/rolling distance.

Interesting Fact

Louisiana is the only U.S. state that doesn’t have counties — instead, it’s divided into “parishes,” a nod to its French and Spanish colonial heritage.
