jlrm Hi.

Look at the health considerations for this cruise Tauck specifically says they "cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters". The tour coaches aren't set up for this.

I believe some of the large cruise ships can accommodate scooters. Good luck!

Try Googling "European tours for people with mobility issues"

A poster on the Rick Steves website listed this one: (I know nothing about it) https://www.sagetraveling.com/ There were several other posts on Rick's site on this topic.

Here is an article on Conde Nast: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/tour-companies-dedicated-to-travelers-with-disabilities

You will likely find some companies that meet your needs, unfortunately, Tauck is not one of them.

I you look at the health considerations for this cruise Tauck specifically says they "cannot accommodate wheel chairs or motorized scooters". The tour coaches aren't set up for this. The ships do have elevators that go between the interior levels but can't go to the upper deck which is occasionally required to get on/off the ship. Getting on and off the ship is often a challenge. The gang plank is narrow and can be at steep angles and in some cases require steps to get to. I've seen all sorts of configurations. Often a challenge even for people with no walking issues.

I've been on cruises with people who had serious walking issues. They either spent most of the cruise on board or in one case the lady had 3 adults with her to help. The crew and TDs can't be expected to provide that sort of help. This is Europe which has completely different laws wrt disabilities. Many towns and tourist sights aren't built to accommodate them.

Not paranoid at all, MikeHenderson, but rightfully cautious and very astute. I do the same thing.
