    Tanya

    Asked on February 5th, 2026

    Are fold up mobility scooters allowed?

    Tour Details
    • Scenic Luxury Cruises & ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Wheelchairs and mobility scooters, when folded, are able to be taken and stored on board in your suite, however, unfortunately are not permitted to be used when on board or on the gangway while boarding. Due to narrow gangways and historic laneways and cobbled stone streets of Europe some excursions are not suitable.
