BASSETERRE NON-FOLDING MOBILITY EQUIPMENT
Take in the key sights of Basseterre and the beautiful Romney Manor Gardens on a barrier-free, coach-based outing that is ideal for guests using a wheelchair or whose mobility is limited.
After boarding your coach at the pier, you’ll be taken on a sightseeing drive around the island’s lovely old capital, which boasts a very well preserved 17th-century cityscape, making it the oldest in the Eastern Caribbean. Your guide will provide information on the city’s history and point out places of interest such as the Berkley Memorial, Independence Square, St. George’s Anglican Church and the Catholic Co-Cathedral. Leaving the colonial ambience of the capital behind, you’ll then head for Romney Manor Gardens to visit the Caribelle Batik Factory. You’ll have time to explore the beautiful, barrier-free gardens, see how the colourful batik designs come to life and browse the gift shop for a memento before the coach returns you to the ship.
Please note: the barrier-free tour is designed to be universally accessible, avoiding steps/stairs throughout. Wheelchair-accessible toilet facilities are available at Romney Manor. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp will be used for transportation. Guides are not permitted to push wheelchairs. The order in which sites are visited or viewed may vary. The price of the tour includes transportation, tour guide and admission fees; it excludes the cost of lunch/snacks. As the number of wheelchair-accessible vehicles is extremely limited in many ports, guests are encouraged to make reservations for barrier-free shore excursions as early as possible.
