Ahoy and welcome aboard the world of Blind Cruisers! We are a site dedicated to sharing the fun, excitement and accessibility of cruising as visually impaired persons. Imagine a vacation destination that is actually many destinations as you navigate the world on a floating resort. While many of the new mega cruise ships can house more than 6,000 people, you’ll find that with a little research, thought and preparation, all activities, restaurants, shows and onboard activities are all within walking distance, easily located and for the vat majority are accessible. It is our goal to both help you with that preparation and to facilitate 1 or 2 group discounted cruises per year that are blind friendly. We are not travel agents, but a group of visually impaired enthusiasts that have fallen in love with cruising!
You can check our JOURNEY section to see the plans for our latest cruise.
