Ship Information:
In order to assist, we need to be aware of your needs. So, please let us know at least 2 working days before you travel by emailing us at [email protected].
Your booking will be flagged if you have informed us in advance that you have reduced mobility, and we will try to position your vehicle close to the passenger lift on-board, thereby making the transfer from the car deck to the upper passenger deck areas as easy as possible. If you are travelling as a wheelchair passenger, please make sure to add “Passenger with Wheelchair” to your booking. If you or someone you are travelling with has a hidden disability, you can request a Sunflower lanyard - click here for more information.
IRISH SEA ROUTES |
HSC Dublin Swift - There is one wheelchair access platform on board which is situated at the back of the ship.
- The lift goes up to the main passenger deck, entering at the back of the ship which is in the Café Lafayette area. It can accommodate wheelchairs up to 1.48 m long and 1.1 m wide.
- Wheelchair users can now access the Club Class lounge on the Dublin Swift.
- Due to space limitations, we can only provide vehicle placement close to the lift onboard for full time wheelchair dependent passengers with advance requests. We will do our best for all other special needs requests. If you are travelling with a mobility reduced passenger or children with special needs, we suggest that you consider travelling on one of the cruise ferries instead, as the car deck space is more generous and the embarkation and dis-embarkation pace is more leisurely.
- Due to the nature of the fast craft, medical oxygen cylinders for personal use are not allowed on board.
