Richard Thompson argues that while ocean cruises are increasingly accessible, river cruises still lack inclusivity for passengers with physical, sensory, or neurodivergent exceptionalities. He highlights the limited accessibility to sun decks and narrow steps on river vessels. Thompson suggests that Celebrity Cruises, with its commitment to inclusive design, has an opportunity to lead the way by creating the world’s first luxury river cruise ship built for all, overcoming challenges like low bridges and stacking.
