Disabled Accessible Travel
Disabled Accessible Travel addresses the issues faced by you, the disabled traveller, when enjoying cruises, or holidays within the Mediterranean.
If you enjoy some mobility and can climb the stairs into a non-adapted coach along with able bodied passengers you will have the opportunity to enjoy a Cruise Ship Shore Excursion with guide as offered by your cruise operator.
Without such mobility you are unlikely to be presented with alternative accessible shore excursion or accessible transport by your cruise operator for the purpose of enjoying a shore excursion with guide.. For that reason our company was created by disabled people FOR disabled people who wish to explore a city with a knowledgeable guide who is able to accompany you to see sights of interest via the most wheelchair accessible routes possible.

D.A.T. history
The Managing Director of D.A.T. has had multiple sclerosis since 2000. D.A.T. was born out of his observation that there seemed to be a lack of provision for the disabled who wished to travel by cruiseship and enjoy shore excursions. In depth research revealed a serious lack of acknowledgement of the right of a disabled traveller to enjoy a cruise and all that it offers, including shoreside activities such as City shore excursions, on an equal basis to the abled bodied.
The Euopean Union has calculated that there are 266 million adults registered disabled within the Community and that there is a severe lack of accessible facilities within the tourist industry in general.
Our aim is to provide an accessible service that offers accessible travel to our fellow disabled travellers.
