Did you know that 4.4 million Australians live with a disability? In fact, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics that’s about 18.5% of the whole population of Australia.
Disabilities are not only physical, they can include intellectual, sensory, mental health issues and disorders.
Robert De Pasquale, owner and operator of Wheelie Good Cruises has been living with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus — and has been cruised for more than 25 years.
At Wheelie Good Cruises, we focus on the abilities of the individual, providing quality service to help make dreams come true. We also strongly believe in raising awareness about the significance of cruising for people who have a disability.
Our aim is simple: Hassle-free cruises for people with a disability.
Cruises are a fantastic way for people with a disability to have a wheelie good time on their holiday, discovering fascinating destinations with regular organised entertainment and top-quality accessible accommodation.
However many people living with a disability, don’t even consider the possibility of going on a cruise, believing them to be inaccessible. We’re here to change that! The team at Wheelie Good Cruises understand the emotional impact a disability can have on someone’s life, from treatments to moral support, that’s why it is important to take each individual’s needs into consideration when planning your trip.
Cruises offer a great way to get away for many disabled travellers, as modern cruise ships offer fantastic facilities onboard. The layout of most modern ships are also much more accessible and accommodating to passengers with a disability, and the well trained crew and medical staff are on hand to help where possible.
Put simply, having a disability is not a factor to not go on a cruise!
