About this resource

About

ActiveMSers is a platform dedicated to keeping people with multiple sclerosis and related disabilities active and engaged with life. Its Cruising with a Disability guide was developed by founder Dave Bexfield from his extensive personal experience cruising with progressive MS, and is widely cited as one of the most thorough disability cruise resources available online.

What It Does

The guide covers every stage of a cruise trip: how to choose the right cruise line and ship for specific accessibility needs, booking the correct accessible cabin type, navigating embarkation with mobility equipment, selecting appropriate shore excursions, packing recommendations, and maximising independence during the voyage. The broader ActiveMSers travel section also includes a Travel Scooter Guide and general accessible travel advice for people with chronic conditions.

Who It Helps

People with MS, chronic illness, physical disabilities, or reduced mobility who want to explore cruising as an accessible holiday option. Also valuable for caregivers, family members, and travel agents advising disabled clients on which cruise lines and cabin configurations best meet their needs.
