We welcome guests with special needs. Guests who have any medical, physical or other special needs must contact their travel agent or Amadeus directly to obtain specific information. All vessels and coaches are equipped to European standards. Vessel operators will, under appropriate circumstances, permit passengers to use motorized scooters and wheelchairs that satisfy criteria confirmed by Amadeus. In all cases passengers must understand and accept that the vessels do not have lifts permitting easy access from deck to deck, and that some decks are multilevel and/or have significant thresholds. Accordingly physically disabled passengers may need the services of a responsible adult, and should be aware that crew availability to assist them is often severely limited.

We offer a variety of menus on board, with a vegetarian option available at every meal. If you have specific dietary request or food intolerance, we kindly ask that you inform your Travel Advisor or call us directly no later than 60 days prior to departure. We strive to accommodate a wide range of diets, including lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Please note, we may not be able to accommodate all dietary requests or may charge additional fees for their implementation.
Our chefs and restaurant staff do their utmost to ensure that dietary requests are fulfilled wherever possible. However, we cannot guarantee there will not be any cross-contamination therefore we are unable to cater for guests with celiac disease or prepare kosher dishes, as these diets have specific rules regarding food and its preparation.

Due to the nature of our cruise itineraries, AMADEUS vessels do not maintain facilities or services for children. On all cruises minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied and share a cabin with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21.

It is recommended that you bring duplicates of prescription eyewear, copies of prescriptions for any medications (generic equivalents are usually easier to obtain), copies of credit card information, and copies of your passport information pages.
An adapter/transformer may be necessary (the on-board power supply is 230V AC/50 Hz) if you bring any electronic devices with you. A travel alarm clock is helpful as is a currency converter if you want to purchase any souvenirs on excursions. If you want to send postcards, do not forget to note the addresses of the recipients.
Clothing:
Comfortable, casual clothing is appropriate both onshore and onboard and we suggest lightweight clothing that can be layered. Mix-and-match color schemes work best to help keep baggage light. You will find a significant amount of walking over uneven terrain during your time ashore. We recommend comfortable walking shoes with good ankle support. Sturdy sandals are another good option.
Don’t forget to pack a lightweight, waterproof jacket (preferably hooded) or even a heavier-weight wind-breaker for cooler temperatures. Also, keep in mind that the ship, motor coaches and other venues visited on our itinerary are air conditioned and may be quite cool. We recommend you that you pack a lightweight sweater or long sleeve shirts and carry them with you on excursions.
Our guests travelling on the AMADEUS Amara, Nova, Queen or Provence may want to bring a swimsuit to take advantage of the pool onboard.
