This was by far very helpful! Thank you.

I just got back from 2 weeks in Argentina and I'm sure the old town areas of cobblestone would be very similar. I'm not bringing it and think I'll be fine. We are on newer Ship. This all seems appropriate and as expected. Really looking forward to it. I appreciate your feed back thanks so much.

I understand all this, but they allow collapsible wheelchairs which are more cumbersome. The scooter weighs less and is easier.

I can walk and am looking forward to this trip, however, it's more the attitude of resistance instead of accommodation in customer service that surprises me.

I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful experience and am looking forward to seeing their style. I'm not down grading it, I'm going with 7 friends, but as a person with a disability and a world traveler and MS activist it's my goal to alert others to situations and allow the company to be transparent and clear about it.

I find no such information on these gangways in their lit or online prescience.

Comments from this CC site have basically given me the most info. Now I will explore these comments when I travel.

And of course share it on CC. 😀

Vikings rules are antiquated. My scooter is easier than a portable wheel chair and the litilhium battery is way under airline standards. I will be taking notes on this cruise so that no other handicapped person has to go through the indignity or uncomfort that the whole meaning of a cruise is about. Again this is not for onboard use, I am not that handicapped, it is for excursions only and would be in my cabin.

A FULL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED HERE AFTER THIS VIKING RIVER CRUISE UP THE RHINE FROM AMSTERDAM TO BASEL.

I'm excited about my upcoming Viking river tour in September, it's the tour from Amsterdam to Basel up the Rhine, however I was a bit shocked that I can't bring on my portable scooter which I fly with often and travel with internationally.

I have MS and walk with a cane but the scooter really comes in handy when I need to cover long distances, like museum.

I'm surprised that since cruises such as river boats that appeal to older people (50+) wouldn't allow for such. I've called directly, been told that it was no problem and then, boom, "scooters are not allowed" is the policy.

Anyone have any experience with this??? It would be really helpful. Especially the excursions.
