This program will have two different Activity Levels: Keep the Pace:I like to spend most of the day exploring. Whether walking historic neighborhoods at a moderate pace or out and about on a coach, I want my days full. Stairs don’t bother me, and I love to keep up with the group On Your Feet: Some walking is OK during the day. I can get on and off a coach, and I’m ready to stroll through cities and to stand for a few hours when we’re learning in museums. All participants need to be comfortable getting in & out of zodiacs, feel comfortable navigating around the ship and handle stairs while onboard. PLEASE NOTE: The ship is not suitable for Wheelchair/Electric Scooter use.
