Tell Deluxe Cruises about mobility, medical, dietary, communication, equipment, or accommodation needs at the time of booking. Requests should be documented early because accessible rooms and some services are limited.

• Hearing and communication: assistive-listening systems, closed captioning, and communication kits may be requested in advance.

• Personal care: anyone who needs help with eating, dressing, toileting, transfers, or other daily needs should travel with a capable companion because ship personnel do not provide personal care.
• Tender ports: boarding can require approximately 15 steps. Mobility devices cannot be lifted into tenders and must be foldable and carried by the guest’s traveling party. The captain makes the final safety decision.
• Medical equipment: bring and declare your own CPAP, oxygen concentrator, nebulizer, or oxygen supply. The ship does not provide oxygen therapy or refill tanks. Refrigerated medication may be stored securely in the medical facility with advance notice.
• Service animals: notify Crystal in writing at booking so documentation, entry rules, and port restrictions can be reviewed well before departure.

Important: accessibility varies by port, gangway, pier, tender operation, and shore transport. Deluxe Cruises can help document requests, but Crystal Serenity’s medical team and captain retain final operational and safety authority.
