Hello.
Was so disappointed to learn that we would not be able to enjoy Viking River Cruises due to limitations of the vessels if you are mobility-impaired. No scooters allowed and wheelchairs are useless since you have to go up and down stairs throughout the day (tours, meals, entertainment, etc.).
Decided to look up Viking Ocean Cruises and they have the same limitations! "Motorized scooters are not typically suitable for international cruises and cannot be accommodated." "Wheelchairs must not exceed 22" in width."
Viking calls itself "the thinking person's cruise," but they need to add 'able-bodied only need apply.' Always thought we would do a Viking cruise after retirement but looks like it won't happen.
Has anyone travelled with someone who needed a wheelchair onboard? If so, what was your experience? Thanks in advance for your reply.
