WHEELCHAIRS AND LESS ABLE PASSENGERS
Due to increased safety requirements we regret we
can no longer accept parties who share wheelchairs
for transport purposes. We can only accept manual
wheelchairs with a maximum width of 27" (690 mm).
Crew will assist in the boarding of wheelchairs
and for this reason there is a maximum weight limit.
Electric wheelchairs and scooters cannot be accepted
under any circumstances. We are restricted to a
very limited number of wheelchairs on board and
prior notice of these must be given in writing.
A risk assessment has highlighted the need for a
higher proportion of able-bodied carers for some
parties, and this must be discussed with the Booking
Office at the time of making any reservation.
