Planning travel is about people, not just places. We’re thrilled to share that Denise has completed the Certified Accessible Travel Advocate® program with Special Needs Group / Special Needs at Sea. This training equips our team to better serve travelers who use mobility devices, oxygen, or other specialty equipment - on cruises and at hotels and resorts worldwide.

What this certification means for you
Proactive, personalized planning. We’ll ask the right questions early - mobility needs, equipment preferences, sensory considerations, dining and room access; so your trip is designed for comfort and ease. Equipment coordination made simple. From wheelchairs and scooters to oxygen and other specialty items, we can arrange reliable rentals delivered directly to your ship, hotel, or resort. Cruise & land expertise. We understand how accessibility works across ships, stateroom categories, ports, transfers, and resorts; so your itinerary fits your needs, not the other way around. Dignity at the center. We use people-first, preference-driven planning to reduce friction, protect privacy, and create a trip that feels welcoming for everyone in your party.
Who can benefit?
Travelers who use wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, or other mobility aids
Guests who require oxygen or other medical equipment
Neurodivergent travelers seeking sensory-aware planning
Multigenerational families looking to accommodate different comfort levels and energy needs
How the process works
Share your goals & needs. We’ll do a brief, judgment-free accessibility check-in (what would make the trip feel comfortable and joyful?).
Right-fit recommendations. We’ll match ships, staterooms, resorts, rooms, and routes to your preferences.
Coordinate equipment & details. We’ll handle rental logistics and deliveries, then confirm timing with your cruise line or hotel.
Travel with confidence. You’ll receive clear instructions, contacts, and day-of tips—plus a real human to call if you need a hand.
Why we chose Special Needs Group / Special Needs at Sea
Special Needs Group is a leading global provider of mobility and medical equipment rentals for travelers and is recommended by major cruise lines for service and value. Their network serves cruise ports, hotels, resorts, theme parks, and convention centers, making seamless delivery and pickup possible.
