Guests with disabilities are welcome aboard Cunard vessels. Due to the configuration of our ships, however, wheelchair users and individuals with sight impairments may experience some difficulties in accessing certain areas. Where such individuals would be unable to de safely and comfortably accommodated due to such barriers or other criteria, we may suggest that the guest be accompanied by a companion. For safety reasons, guests in wheelchairs cannot be carried on launches in ports where the ship is at anchor. Upon notification by a guests with a disability, Cunard Reservations will provide written specifications detailing cabin and doorway widths and other pertinent access limitations on board the vessels. Cunard is pleased to permit individuals to bring service animals on board.

In order to make appropriate arrangements, notice that a guest traveling with an animal must be provided at the time of booking. Local laws or customs may prevent animals from disemabrking at particular ports and countries. It is the guest's obligation to obtain all documents/health certificates that may be required. Consult local custom authorities for information and requirements.

Guests with conditions requiring ongoing medical assistance may be asked to have their physician provide a confidential certification form to ensure that they may travel safely. If guests have special dietary needs, Cunard muste be advised at time of booking, or, at the latest, six weeks before sailing. Every effort will be made to comply with such requests.
