I understand that river cruises can be problematic for anyone with Accessible needs, as the ships are narrow and some have no lifts or accessible cabins. However, on the newer larger vessels this is not the case and cabin size is great, the newer ships have accessible cabins and everything is on fewer floors, especially in the evening when the bar, restaurant and entertainment is usually in the same area.
If you fancy that romantic dream of cruising along watching the scenery go by, then contact me at [email protected] and I will try and find the ideal cruise for you.

Schengen Countries, Passport Validity Rules, EES & ETIAS Q&A

WHAT DOES VISITING THE SCHENGEN AREA CURRENTLY MEAN FOR A BRITISH PASSPORT HOLDER?
Currently you only need to present a valid passport to visit a Schengen country – this will be stamped on arrival.

*From 10th November EES will come into effect – see below for further information.
ALL ABOUT EES
The Entry Exit System (EES) is a new electronic system that replaces passport stamping when you enter an EU or Schengen Zone country. From 10th November 2024 all entry and exit movements will be registered electronically onto a database.
Before you travel, there’s nothing different you need to do—the Advanced Passenger Information (API) form you already complete will be used by the airline to send your details.
Upon arrival at your destination, the first time you use it might mean it takes a bit longer to pass through border control as your biometric data (face image and four fingerprints) will be added. Currently, the fingerprints of children below 12 years old are not scanned.
In case there are any delays, you may wish to take along extra water.
You can find out more by visiting EU EES website

WILL I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I TRAVEL?
After the launch, EES checks will be required every time you travel into and exit the Schengen area.
You’ll have to re-register if three years or more have passed since your last exit from a country in the Schengen area.
If British, or non-Schengen passport holders, decide to visit a country in the Schengen area within a three-year period, the process will be streamlined with only one biometric check.

WILL I BE DELAYED AT PASSPORT CONTROL?
While the checks will only take a few minutes for each person to do, they may lead to longer queue times at the border upon arrival for people travelling to countries in the Schengen area. These are likely to vary from location to location and will depend on passenger volumes and processing capacity at the point of which EES processing is carried out. In case there are any delays, you may wish to take along extra water.

WHAT ABOUT BABIES AND SMALL CHILDREN, WILL THEY ALSO BE REGISTERED?
Currently, the fingerprints of children below 12 years old are not scanned.

ALL ABOUT ETIAS
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System or ETIAS is planned to be introduced from April 2025 at the earliest. This will be a bit like an ESTA that you’d apply for when travelling to the USA. It’s not a visa, but if you’re visiting an EU or Schengen zone country for a short stay*, you’ll need to register your details before you travel via a quick and easy online form – it’ll cost just €7 and will be valid for three years.
The form isn’t yet available, so if you’re travelling after April 2025, check the EU ETIAS website closer to your departure date.
*A short stay is classed as no more than 90 days in a 180-day period.
You can find out more by visiting EU ETIAS website
WHEN WILL I NEED TO APPLY FOR ETIAS?

The actual implementation date is not yet confirmed but is expected to be from April 25 at the earliest- but don’t worry, if you have a holiday booked with us, we’ll let you know all the details as soon as they are confirmed.

I know I am meant to be bringing you news on cruises, and I will, but today I feel the need to rant!
I set up Avandra to make the World accessible to all, and it should be, if we are not restricted by our disabilities, then the world should not place restrictions upon us. Once again this morning I hear of the horrendous way Tanni Grey-Thompson had to vacate her train last night, and her story is not alone. The app for reserving your train does not always work and not all rail companies use it, there are not enough staff trained to use the ramp, even though the trains should now line up with platforms, and we are being told it will be 100 years before this happens. LNER the train company involved have announced a new fleet, but yet again the platform and doors do not line up.
So, I am sorry for the rant, but as we all know the fight goes on.

To start cruise week, we look at the larger cruise ships, with Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises leading the way.
These ships may feel daunting when you first see the vast size of them, but with onboard interactive maps and helpful staff you quickly find your sea legs.
These ships have amenities that include water parks, climbing walls, IMAX Cinemas, Sparkling shows like Cirque D'Soleil and the Blue Man Group. The atrium also includes amazing features and shopping malls with the best designer brands. For the children there are large activity spaces and onboard activities, whilst the parents can take some time out in the spa or in one of the themed restaurants.
In the summer these ships can come over from their US bases to travel the Mediterranean from ports like Southampton. The ships that stay in US waters visit the Caribbean with many having their own private islands.
These ships also have accommodation to suit every taste and budget, with many facilities for accessible travel with cabins that have wide spaces for wheelchairs and roll in bathrooms, although they may be to overwhelming for the Neurodiverse, or those that find the size of the ship and so many facilities and activities to much to take in. These ships are great for accessible facilities with the theatres having spaces for wheelchairs and plenty of lifts. Being more modern they have really thought of how they can create wheelchair accessible spaces. For those that require some quiet time, many of the ships will offer a sanctuary space, libraries and the quieter restaurants.

Next week is the start of Cruise Week and I feel for accessible travel cruises have this already in the bag. Most modern cruise ships have accessible cabins with wide doorways, space around the beds and accessible bathrooms. You can even join many cruises here in the UK. For those needing a quieter cruise, i can confirm there are cruise lines that are also suitable with quiet spaces and understanding crew members. If you have any concerns then speak to us and we can get answers for you before you book, and I would always suggest getting to know the guest concierge manager, as they re there to help you have the best cruise experience.
Speak to the team if you have any questions [email protected], message us of comment below and we are here to assist.

How easy is it to holiday in the UK, when you have accessibility issues? I have found that although well meaning some establishments hide behind it's an historic building to avoid making themselves accessible, mainly cost I would assume. I am going away next month to Norwich and called the hotel before arrival to advise them that I struggle with stairs and would need a disabled parking space, to be told we are on the first floor, no mention of moving us and that they have no disabled parking spaces and that they are a historic building. I am at a lost how being a historic building prevents them from making a couple of spaces disabled, but as you can see the fight is real. What are your experiences of holidaying in England?
