31-July-2025

Why cruising is the perfect holiday for people with disabilities

Ready to set sail in 2025 or 2026? Whether you’re dreaming of spotting dolphins in Tangalooma, dancing your way through a rock music cruise, soaking up the coastal views between Melbourne and Sydney, or experiencing the breathtaking landscapes of our ever-popular Ultimate New Zealand Cruise – there’s a Leisure Options cruise that’s perfect for you.

We believe everyone deserves a break that’s exciting, fun, and unforgettable. Here are 10 reasons why cruising might just be your next favourite way to travel.

1. Everything is in one place

Cruise ships are like floating resorts. Accommodation, dining, entertainment, and activities are all onboard. So there’s no packing and unpacking or rushing between destinations.

2. It’s an accessible travel dream

Modern cruise ships are built with accessibility in mind. With ramps, elevators, accessible rooms and spacious layouts. Cruising is one of the most comfortable ways to travel for people with disabilities.

3. Unpack once, explore many places

Cruising makes it easy to explore new places – without packing and unpacking at every stop. Many cruises visit multiple destinations, so you can enjoy the adventure of travel with fewer logistics and more relaxation.

4. Delicious dining with plenty of choice

From casual cafes to fancy restaurants, cruise ships offer a wide range of delicious meals. At Leisure Options, we cater to all dietary needs and preferences – and yes, dessert is always on the menu!

5. Onboard fun, every day

From relaxing in the spa to playing a round of bingo, there’s always something to enjoy on board. Most evenings you’ll find us catching a live show together – something our travellers always rave about! Cruises strike the perfect balance between relaxation and entertainment, so you can do as much (or as little) as you like.

6. Travel with friends - old and new

Cruises are a fantastic way to travel with friends or meet new ones. Our group holidays are designed to build connections and create lifelong memories.

7. Peace of mind with 24/7 support

When you cruise with Leisure Options, our experienced tour leaders are with you every step of the way. You’ll feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey.

8. Great value for money

Cruises offer incredible value. Most of your travel, accommodation, meals, and entertainment are included in the one price – making it easy to budget and plan.

9. Something for everyone

Whether you’re into sightseeing, relaxing, sampling new food, or soaking up the sea breeze, there’s a cruise for you. With a wide range of itineraries and destinations, you can choose a holiday that captures your interests – and we do our best to match you with a group that shares similar interests and support needs.

10. Your trip is guaranteed to go ahead

Thanks to our Holiday Guarantee, if you’re booked, you’re going – no matter how many others are in the group. Even if you booked a 1:3 support ratio and you’re the only traveller, your trip is still happening at the original price. That’s the Leisure Options difference.
