What details do I need to make a booking for my client? In order to make a booking you will need your client’s full name and billing address. We also suggest you have their mobility equipment type and specifications ready to enter if possible, and the phone number they will be using while traveling.

We encourage you to purchase travel insurance to cover you in the case of trip cancellation.
Will my clients risk missing their ship if I don't book their tours or transfers directly with the cruise line? Absolutely not. Our accessible tour and transfer providers have several years of experience touring with cruise passengers and are well aware of the time needed to get your client back to the pier in time.
What if my client's ship is redirected or cannot dock as planned? One of the great things about booking your accessible travel services through ATS is that we offer accessible services in destinations all throughout Europe and the Caribbean.
