💙 Why Travel with a Companion on a Cruise?

Cruising is one of the easiest ways to travel when you have additional needs - but having a companion or caregiver can make it even more enjoyable! Here’s why:

🚢 Stress-Free Travel – From embarkation to excursions, having an extra set of hands ensures everything runs smoothly.
🛏️ Comfort & Safety – Need assistance moving around the ship, navigating buffets, or getting to activities? A travel companion provides support whenever you need it.
💃 More Freedom – With the right care in place, you can relax and enjoy the trip on your own terms, whether that’s dancing at a sail-away party or exploring new destinations.
🌍 Accessible Excursions – Your companion can help make shore days easier, whether it’s assisting with transfers, handling equipment, or ensuring a stress-free adventure.

We offer companion services to provide the support you need - so you can focus on enjoying your holiday! Want to learn more? Send us a message today! 💙

Travel Tip Tuesday 💙

Setting sail soon? Don’t let slow Wi-Fi put a damper on your holiday!

Before you board, download your favourite playlists, films and books - then pop your phone on aeroplane mode to avoid those pesky roaming charges.

Your future (offline) self will thank you!

"Special diets and medical needs can't be accommodated on a cruise" 💙

Let’s bust that myth right now!

Most cruise lines are ready to accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, diabetic-friendly, or allergy-sensitive meals - and they do it well!

Just give them a heads-up before you sail.
Plus, there are onboard medical teams if you need extra peace of mind.

Tag someone who needs to hear this! 💙

Myth: Cruises aren’t accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility challenges.

Truth: Most modern cruise ships are incredibly accessible - with adapted cabins, elevators, wide corridors and staff ready to help. Don’t let outdated info stop you from setting sail!

⚓ Cruise Cabin Comfort Tips! ⚓

Did you know that not all accessible cruise cabins are created equal? Whether you’re traveling with a mobility aid or just need a bit of extra space, here are 3 cabin tips that can make your trip smoother:

1. Request a roll-in shower – Not all accessible cabins have them by default!
2. Check door width – Some older ships still have narrow entryways, which can be tricky for wider chairs or scooters.
3. Ask for a shower chair – Most cruise lines can provide one if requested in advance (we’ll handle that for you!).

At Cruising Carers & Companions, we make sure your cabin is just right - so you can kick back, relax and focus on the view, not the logistics.

Let’s make sure your floating home away from home works for you!

“You have to sacrifice independence if you travel with a carer.”

FALSE!

Travelling with a carer doesn’t take away your independence - it enhances it!

With the right support, you can do more, see more and enjoy every moment without the stress of managing everything alone. On a cruise, that means exploring new destinations, enjoying the onboard fun and relaxing with peace of mind.

Our carers are there to empower, not limit. Your holiday, your way - with just the right level of support 💙

Independence and care can go hand-in-hand. Ready to cruise on your terms?
