What type of vehicles are used for the Easy & Accessible shore excursions?

How can I trust that these tours are fully accessible?

Our Easy & Accessible shore experiences have been designed and vetted over many years by world-renowned accessibility experts and by travellers with disabilities. Routes are verified and tested consistently to meet the high standards set by MSC Cruises.

How big are the groups for the Easy & Accessible shore excursions?

To make these tours more enjoyable, group sizes are smaller than regular tours - these are not large motor coach groups. For most tours, small accessible vans are used.

How will the guide assist me with my mobility needs?

The tour guides conducting these accessible tours have several years of experience in touring with limited mobility guests and their families. They are patient, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Please note that guides are not permitted to push wheelchairs. Guests in wheelchairs must be able to self-propel or have a companion push them.

What can I expect from my Easy & Accessible shore excursions?

Accessible shore excursions are authentic experiences, designed to limit the amount of walking, without compromising on the experience. If you are asking yourself: "Will I get to leave the bus?”, the answer is “Yes!”. While other tours labelled as “accessible” only allow you to see the destination through a bus window, MSC Cruises offers wheelchair accessible shore excursions that include inside visits to castles, churches, museums, palaces, and historic ruins.

How do I make sure my mobility equipment isn't too big or too heavy for the excursion?

For each Easy & Accessible tour, the maximum combined weight allowed (equipment + mobility user) as well as maximum equipment dimension allowed (height, length, and width) are provided in their tour description notes. Please make sure to carefully check and verify that your equipment respects the dimensions allowed before booking the tour.

Currently, the Easy & Accessible shore excursion program is available throughout several Caribbean ports. You can see a complete list of destinations offering Easy & Accessible tours listed above.

When should I book my Easy & Accessible shore excursion?

We suggest you book your Easy & Accessible shore excursion at least 2months before your cruise in order to secure your space.

Can I cancel my booked Easy & Accessible shore excursion?

It is possible to cancel your booked Easy & Accessible tours up to 4 days prior to your cruise departure date.

Why is a minimum number of participants required?

The minimum number of participants is required to guarantee the tour to run at the individual price displayed on the website. In case the number of participants is not met, guests will be given the choice to book the tour for an additional cost, as a private tour. The individual price will then vary depending on the number of participants.
