Although Norwegian is not as accessible as other cruise lines, we
were still able to pick the Top 11 Accessible Cruises by Norwegian
in the Mediterranean.
When evaluating accessibility on Norwegian Cruise Line using the
top criteria for selecting an accessible cruise, NCL’s main problem
is that it has few accessible shore excursion options in the
Mediterranean.

That’s not a showstopper for you though, because Sage Traveling
offers 200+ accessible shore excursions across 62 Mediterranean
cruise ports.
In contrast, NCL only offers accessible cruise excursions in 4
Mediterranean cruise ports.

In the Mediterranean, Norwegian Cruise Lines has 3 cruise ships:
Norwegian Jade – Part of the Jewel Class and built in 2006, this
accessible Norwegian cruise ship sails Eastern Mediterranean &
Western Mediterranean itineraries from Rome & Venice.
1. Norwegian Epic – This Epic Class cruise ship is the newest NCL
ship that sails in the Mediterranean. Built in 2010, it sails 7 day
itineraries that start from Barcelona or Rome.
2.
Norwegian Spirit – Built in 2004 and part of the Leo Class, the
Norwegian Spirit sails Grand Mediterranean itineraries between
Barcelona and Venice.

• Norwegian’s newest ship in the Mediterranean, the Norwegian Epic,
runs 7 day cruises in the Western Mediterranean.
• Built in 2010 and part of Norwegian’s Epic ship class, this ship has
more luxurious amenities and better accessibility features than
previous ships.
Cruises from Barcelona
Norwegian’s 7-Night Western Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Epic

• While there are numerous 7 day accessible Barcelona cruises, Spanish
speakers and island lovers will love that this accessible Norwegian
cruise itinerary visits the Spanish island of Palma de Mallorca instead of
a second port of call in France.
• Those disabled and senior cruisers looking for two stops in France
should opt for our top pick for accessible Western Mediterranean 7
night cruises.

• 7 Nights, Round-trip Barcelona
• 2014 Sailing Dates: Departs every Sunday between May 11 and Oct 19

Like several other cruise lines, Norwegian offers a 12-night Grand
Mediterranean cruise that visits destinations in both the eastern and
western ends of the Mediterranean. Sage Traveling can arrange in all 10
of the 10 ports on this itinerary.
While this is certainly an attractive itinerary, because the Norwegian
Spirit is a Leo Class ship built in 2004, I usually recommend other
accessible 12-night Grand Mediterranean cruises.

This 7-night wheelchair accessible Norwegian cruise can also be begun
in Barcelona, however starting in Rome has some benefits.
• Since this cruise starts and ends every Wednesday, you can easily
spend 4 days before or after exploring Italy.
• Four days in Rome allows you to see most of the main tourist
attraction.
• Alternatively, you could shorten your stay in Rome and spend a couple
of days in Florence or Naples.

Many of the cruise ships relocate to the Caribbean during the winter
months, however the Norwegian Jade stays in Europe year-round. This
itinerary sails from November to April and has accessible excursion
options in all 6 of the Ports of Call. Because sailings on the major cruise
lines are so rare this time of year, we named this to our Top 50
Accessible European Vacations list.
Cruises from Rome
Celebrity’s 10-Night Eastern Med Cruise on Celebrity Reflection
This accessible cruise from Rome sails on the Norwegian Jade. It is part
of the Jewel Class which is newer than the Leo Class (Norwegian Spirit)
and older than the Epic Class (Norwegian Epic).

• This Norwegian cruise only has one sailing date so I thought about
leaving it off the list, however it has a unique characteristic that made
me change my mind.
• It is Norwegian’s only cruise that starts in Rome and finishes in Venice.
• This allows Italy lovers to spend additional time visiting Rome, Venice,
and even places like Naples and Florence.

From May to October, the Norwegian Jade sails alternating 7 night
itineraries out of Venice. Of the two this 7 night Greek Isles cruise is my
favorite and I put it on my Top 12 Accessible Mediterranean Cruises list
and my Top 50 Accessible European Vacations list.
Cruises from Venice
Norwegian’s 7-Night Greek Isles Cruise on Norwegian Jade

This wheelchair accessible Norwegian cruise has four Greek ports of
call. The village of Corfu is the first stop on your way through the
Adriatic Sea. The steep cliffs of Santorini are followed by the colorful
village on Mykonos. Some of the top ancient ruins in the world can by
visited by disabled travelers at the historical site of Olympia.
Cruises from Venice
Norwegian’s 7-Night Greek Isles Cruise on Norwegian Jade
• The Norwegian Jade is part of the Jewel Class and was built in 2006.

like Papa’s Italian Kitchen, Dinner at Cagney’s Steakhouse, Jasmine
Garden, Teppanyaki, and Moderno Churrascaria.

Norwegian Jade’s other 7 night accessible Venice cruise spends less time
visiting Greece while adding two stops in Croatia and one stop in
Turkey. It also visits Athens where you’ll have the opportunity to visit the
Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and/or the Temple of Poseidon.

Norwegian’s 7-Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Jade

Norwegian’s 12 night Grand Mediterranean cruise runs back and forth
between Venice and Barcelona, and you can board in either location.
Accessible shore excursions are possible in all 10 of the ports on this
itinerary. Because the Norwegian Spirit is an older ship, I usually
recommend a different accessible Grand Mediterranean cruise for most
people.
