The Top 14 Accessible Princess Cruises in the Mediterranean
contain a mix of sailings on the new Regal Princess ship and the
older, smaller Ocean Princess ship.
• The Regal Princess ship is brand new in 2014 and has the latest
features in onboard accessibility.
• The Ocean Princess only has 680 passengers and has short distances to
walk/roll between venues. Because it is a smaller ship, it can
sometimes dock closer to the various city centers.

The strength of Princess Cruise itineraries are the Grand
Mediterranean cruises between Barcelona and Venice.
Other itineraries can have significant changes to the ports of call
depending on the sailing date, and disabled cruisers should be aware of
how that might affect their ability to sightsee while in port.

Princess only offers 7 accessible shore excursions in the
Mediterranean.
• That’s not a reason to avoid Princess cruises though, because Sage
Traveling offers 200+ accessible shore excursions across 62
Mediterranean cruise ports.
• We will be able to provide you with a fully accessible cruise vacation!

In 2014, there are essentially 3 types of accessible Princess cruise
itineraries in the Mediterranean:
1) Grand Mediterranean sailings on the Regal Princess – After June 2014,
the Regal Princess will sail 12 night Grand Mediterranean cruises
between Barcelona and Venice. These sailings are the most common and
most accessible Princess cruise itineraries. The Regal Princess is a Royal
Class ship that is brand new and will be launched in 2014.
2) Special sailings on the Regal Princess – A few special cruises between
Venice, Rome, and Athens occur before July 2014. These are unique and
include a great 20 day cruise itinerary.
3) Eastern Mediterranean & Holy Land sailings on the Ocean Princess – This
R Class cruise ship was built in 2002. It is a fairly small ship with only 680
passengers. For any Ocean Princess cruises, you will have to book FAR in
advance to get an accessible cabin. It sails various 7 to 21 night
itineraries from Athens, Rome, and Venice.

Cruisers interested in Princess may also want to check out the
accessible Celebrity cruises. Celebrity has 3 new, large cruise ships
with many sailing dates.

Cruises from Athens
Princess is one of the few cruise lines that have sailings that depart from
Athens. Each of the three accessible Athens cruises mentioned here sail
on the small, intimate Ocean Princess ship and have a high number of
accessible ports on the itinerary.

This accessible Celebrity cruise is similar to the one above in that it visits
both East and West, however this itinerary starts and finishes in
Barcelona. Eight of the eight ports visited by this Solstice class ship have
accessible cruise excursion options.
• While most Adriatic cruises start and finish in Venice, this accessible
Princess cruise starts and finishes in different cities allowing you to spend
additional time visiting these world-class cities.
• In Athens, you can visit the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of
Olympian Zeus, and other accessible Greek ruins. In Venice, you can spend
additional time visiting lesser known islands like Murano and Burano.

Princess’s Grand Mediterranean cruise is one of the most popular in the
Mediterranean. It sails on the brand-new Regal Princess ship and has
accessible shore excursions available in every port. Consequently, it
made our Top 12 Accessible Mediterranean Cruises list and our Top 50
Accessible European Vacations list.
During this wheelchair accessible Princess cruise from Barcelona, you
will visit two Greek ports, a Croatian port, a Turkish port, four Italian
ports, one French port, and one Spanish port. What a great sampling of
European countries!

Princess’s Grand Mediterranean cruise runs back and forth between
Barcelona and Venice. Because it’s on a brand-new cruise ship and has
multiple sailing dates, I named it to my Top 12 Accessible Mediterranean
Cruises list.
Cruises from Venice
• Your Princess accessible cruise vacation starts by being picked up at the
Venice airport by a wheelchair accessible boat or van.
• You can choose to either spend a night or two in an accessible Venice
hotel or head straight to the cruise ship.
• In each port on this cruise, you will be able to choose a half day or full
day accessible shore excursion.
• At the end of your trip, you can visit an accessible Barcelona beach or
explore the city using the Sage Accessibility Guide for Barcelona.

On May 20th, 2014, the new Regal Princess departs Venice for the first
time. All 5 of the ports on this 7 night cruise are wheelchair
accessible. You’ll be able to see the famous windmills in Mykonos, the
enormous Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the towering Acropolis in Athens,
and much more.

This Grand Mediterranean Cruise is 5 days longer than most of
Princess’s Grand Mediterranean cruises. It also has accessible shore
excursion options in every port, so it’s a great way to see Europe!
Cruises from Venice
• This accessible Princess cruise starts and finishes in Venice, and we can
provide you with the wheelchair accessible routes to avoid all the
bridges and canals.
• In large destinations like Rome, you can book an accessible driving tour
to quickly bring you between the tourist attractions.
• In other destinations like Naples and Mykonos, you may be able to
walk/roll right into town!

This cruise has two stops in Rome and we recommend spending one day
at the ancient Rome sites and one day at the Vatican & Renaissance
sites. It also has two stops in Toulon, so you can spend one day at
wineries and the beach and spend the other day visiting historical towns
like Avignon and Arles.
