Mobility and assistance You must tell us about all physical or mental health conditions, disabilities, or mobility restrictions (as detailed in section 22). This will allow us to be able to advise on the suitability of our holidays and, wherever possible, put in place arrangements to accommodate your needs. This could include securing assistance at airports and securing accessible hotel rooms but does NOT include our staff (including Tour Managers), our supplier%u2019s staff or other customers providing any kind of personal care (such as dressing, eating or toileting), pushing wheelchairs, assisting with embarking, or disembarking coaches or trains, or porter luggage when this service is not included as part of your travel arrangements. If you require any of these services, you must travel with a fully able-bodied fare paying travelling companion who must take responsibility for any personal assistance required. Please note that some of our holidays include off-the beaten track destinations where even the most basic facilities for disabled customers may be lacking.

We reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any person if carrying such a passenger would breach any applicable safety requirement or law. We also reserve the right to refuse carriage if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment would make carriage unsafe or not operationally feasible. We reserve the right to require that a disabled passenger or a person of reduced mobility is accompanied by another fare paying person capable of providing assistance to ensure compliance with any applicable safety requirement or law or if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment means that a disabled passenger or person of reduced mobility cannot be carried in a safe or operationally feasible manner without the assistance of another person. Please note that personal daily care cannot be provided by any member of the ship%u2019s staff. Please advise us at the time of booking if you or any member of your party has reduced mobility, requires a specially adapted cabin, or would require assistance in an emergency, or as soon as possible (and, in any event, at least 48 hours) before departure should there be a change in circumstances. This is essential for travel by sea or inland waterways, as a risk assessment may need to be carried out prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such a condition, we will not be liable if an airline or cruise line refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a%u00a0passenger. Travel by air: Under the law, if you are disabled or have difficulty moving around, you can receive assistance when you fly. This free service is available to anyone with mobility problems, for example, because of your disability, age, or a temporary injury.
