"To travel is to live."- Hans Christian Andersen
Travel options for all
Dream big. Dream amazing. Make your travel dreams a reality.
Children, adult dependents and seniors may not fit in cookie cutter solutions. As you age, your needs may have changed. Perhaps you need oxygen, a scooter, lift devices, or dialysis. You need respite care or reduced sensory overload.
Whether they are 4 or 94, you love them no less. You want to experience the world and show it to your loved ones too.
Travel seems complicated. Vacation has seemed out of the question as it is more work for you, stressing you and your family to the max. You need a break, but your normal resources are tapped out. You may simply want a date night, to eat breakfast without interruption, to vacation as a family, to show them and yourself some fun.
For parents of children on the autism spectrum, Downs syndrome or similar exceptional needs, there are no magic answers, but there are options to have a vacation that offers you qualified respite care. Autism on the Seas (AotS)
There are options on land as some resorts and more tour companies are adding ASL guides.
Accessible Travel
Let's break down the barriers of yesterday. Travel is NOT out of reach. The world can still be fun. There are travel options to enhance or even make possible your travel dreams from adaptive golf to companion services.
There are cruise lines equipped with special lifts on tenders to enable you to enjoy the 7 continents to see, and take part in excursions.* There are ships and options for peritoneal dialysis patients and self-administered hemodialysis. Braille menus or assistive listening devices for use in your room or in the show lounge can be arranged. Respite care during a cruise is possible.
There are many more assistive devices we can arrange through rental partners devoted to making travel accessible - delivered to your hotel or stateroom on a cruise ship.
While the ADA is specifically "American" legislation, over 140 countries have laws/acts to protect the rights of individuals.
