Age or disability does not prevent you to enjoy cruising. Celebrity cruise ships are designed for mobility-impaired passengers, and staff is always ready to assist. Celebrity Cruises accommodates those who need dialysis or oxygen, and other medical services can be arranged if requested in advance. Emergency care is always available on board, saving you the trouble of finding a doctor who speaks your language in a foreign country.

• Dining

Dinner is a vital event in itself on a cruise ship, a tradition dating back to the late 1800’s when cruises were for royalty and the wealthy who expected elegant formal dinners. Again, in today’s lifestyle the elegant dinner is optional, and for those who like to dine casually, food is available around the clock . However, for those who like a ritzy event where they can show off their best attire and jewelry, there are optional formal dinners where ladies wear long formal gowns or evening dresses and gentlemen have on tuxedos.

• Cruise Destination and Land Activities

Beside getting informative lectures about your location, the most important activities of cruising is visiting different foreign cities as cruise destinations. Celebrity Cruises dock at a different port of call every day or two, depending upon distances and sailing time between points of interest. You can stay aboard the ship all day or disembark. You are free to explore every destination on your itinerary as long as you return to the ship before departure time.

Normally, Celebrity Cruises offers optional adventures geared toward the unique features of each destination with a small additional cost. For instance, Caribbean cruises offer snorkeling, diving or beach excursions while Alaskan cruises offer helicopter tours or sea kayak trips.

All you have to do is finding the correct spot onshore and an experienced tour guide who handles the rest of your tour.
