Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruising has become something really special for Charlotte and we've been so touched by messages from people saying that watching her has inspired them to book a cruise with their own child or young person with additional needs.

One of the biggest reasons cruising works so well is how easy everything is. From arriving at the cruise terminal to boarding and then being on board, it's all very accessible.

I have a feeling that we'll be coming back to the Norwegian FS every year from now on.

Everything being in one place made it feel really safe and calm for Charlotte and it it really does make a big difference to her.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take your time and let everybody take their turns with the lifts.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Cruising with disabilities can feel dauntingโ€ฆ but for Charlotte, itโ€™s been an amazing experience. ๐Ÿ’™ In this video, we share why cruising on P&O Iona works so well for her โ€” and why it might work for you too. Charlotte is 18 and lives with cerebral palsy, learning difficulties and is profoundly deaf. Over the past year, cruising has become something really special for her โ€” giving her opportunities, experiences and moments that are sometimes harder to access at home. From accessibility on board, to entertainment, food and simply being able to enjoy time together as a familyโ€ฆ this is why cruising works so well for Charlotte. Weโ€™ve also been incredibly touched by messages from families who have said Charlotte has inspired them to book a cruise with their own child or young person with additional needs ๐Ÿ’™ If this video helps even one more family feel confident to give cruising a try, then that means everything to us.
