Information on Cunard's accessibility policy

Accessible cabins

All ships within the fleet can cater for the needs of those who are dependent on a wheelchair or scooter for mobility issues, including specially adapted staterooms with wide access doors and lower-placed sinks, units and hand rails.

Wheelchair-accessible staterooms have a roll-in shower to make them user-friendly for all wheelchair users. There are a limited number of wheelchair-accessible staterooms on each ship, so to maximise the availability for all wheelchair users, these are fitted with roll-in showers only.

For guests requiring the use of a wheelchair or scooter, it is not a condition that you travel with a companion; however, although the crew are very helpful, they are unable to assist you in moving around the vessel or in any personal day-to-day tasks.

Mobility aids on request:

  • Queen Mary 2 – shower stools, raised toilet seats and commodes.
  • Queen Elizabeth – raised toilet seats, commodes and bath chairs.
  • Queen Victoria – shower stools, raised toilet seats and commodes.

(All items are limited and must be pre-booked in advance of sailing.)

Due to the extreme tidal nature and the gangway configurations required to cope with large varying height differences between the quay and the gun-port doors, there is a strong chance that full-time and/or part-time wheelchair users may not be able to go ashore in ports including, but not limited to, Hamburg, Zeebrugge, the Canary Islands, and French and Spanish Atlantic ports (not an exhaustive list). This is in the interest of the guest’s safety.

Cunard cruise ship at port

Visual impairments

Assistance dogs are welcome on all vessels; however, due to current DEFRA requirements, dogs are unable to disembark at any port of call. Cunard Line has a DEFRA license on Southampton-to-Southampton cruises and transatlantic crossings on Queen Mary 2. A minimum of three months’ notice is required.

Braille is available in the following areas:

  • Queen Mary 2 – underneath the stateroom number on the door, underneath each deck number inside the elevators and at each stairway under the deck letter for the stairway.
  • Queen Elizabeth – outside and inside the elevators, outside public toilets and underneath the stateroom number on the door.
  • Queen Victoria – underneath the stateroom number on the door, underneath each deck number inside the elevators and at each stairway under the deck letter for the stairway.

Hearing impairments

On all ships there are complimentary assistive listening devices for guests with impaired hearing. These are available upon request for use in the Royal Court Theatre and Queens Room. On Queen Mary 2 there are a limited number of Ameriphone systems available, which include a TDD (text) telephone, a pillow vibrator and a flashing light signal to alert guests if the phone is ringing or someone is at the door. Should you require one of these systems, these must be booked in advance.

All the television programming onboard the vessel can be set to show captions.
