Disabled Facilities

Disabled facilities on board Travelmarvel river ships are limited and this can include some accommodation also. It is important to note that the Travelmarvel Diamond and Jewel are not equipped with an elevator, so passengers must walk up and down stairs to manoeuvre between decks and in some instances to disembark or embark the vessel. River cruise vessels are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. Wheelchairs must be collapsible as hallways and doors on board may not be wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.

Additionally, coaches and minibuses used for transfers and shore excursions may not be equipped with wheelchair ramps. Any condition requiring special attention must be reported to Travelmarvel at the time of reservation.

Facilities and services for passengers with disabilities differ among destinations and, in some cases, may be limited or non-existent. Participants requiring special assistance must be accompanied by a person responsible for and physically able to provide all such assistance. They regret that they cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, getting on/off tour buses and other transportation vehicles, or other personal needs.
