    Asked on February 21st, 2026

    Just wondering about people with a disability traveling with the company. I use a walker for stability I can generally get myself on and off busses and wondering about the step up on the bus.

    Travel Support
    • CosmosOperatorWritten February 2026

      The Company do not provide personal services or individual assistants to trip participants. Our staff and the Service Providers are not required or trained to assist with personal tasks. This includes eating, dressing, toileting, lifting or pushing a wheelchair, walking, getting on or off transportation, or other personal needs. If you need such assistance, we strongly recommend you have a physically-able companion accompany you.

      You must be able to walk up/down steps and on ramps without a wheelchair or walker. Motorcoach entrances and gangways/ramps may not be wide enough or equipped to accommodate these items. Furthermore, side by side docking with other river cruise ships may require guests to climb and descend stairs to cross over other vessels to disembark and embark. The Company may allow collapsible wheelchairs that fit within the restrictions (1030mm/40.55″ length x 555mm/21.85″ width) when travel with a wheelchair is disclosed to The Company. You are responsible for storage (e.g. in your room) and maintenance of any permissible wheelchair.

    Asked on August 6th, 2025

    Was wondering if it was possible to do another activity outside of one of the pre-scheduled ones (Waterford crystal tour) on this tour? My 3 fellow travelers would do the scheduled one, and I would actually hit a golf course five miles away from Waterford (Dunmore East)? Then meet up with my group immediately after...is that doable?
