NYE Festivities In The Dutch Capital

With Belgium as your first port of call, Limitless Travellers have the opportunity to join a Cunard excursion into medieval Bruges. From there, two days of Limitless-organised adventure in Amsterdam will see you cruise the city’s canals on an accessible boat tour before heading off to visit the iconic Rijksmuseum or kick back in a cool local cafe. With unforgettable onboard celebrations lined up for NYE, don’t forget your gladrags - we’ll be welcoming in the new year in style!

Intimate Cruising on the Queen Victoria

The smallest and most intimate ship in Cunard’s iconic fleet, the Queen Victoria features classically elegant interiors and an attention to detail that Limitless Travellers love. However, it still manages to pack an enormous amount in and boasts all the world-class entertainment, dining and leisure facilities you would expect of a modern cruise ship.

From big stage spectaculars to intimate musical performances, there’s something for everyone aboard the Queen Victoria.

The Queens Room is an elegant homage to a bygone era, where guests can dance the night away to a live orchestra, and the Commodore Club offers excellent cocktails and even better piano performances. Fancy a little karaoke? The Yacht Club has you covered.

It’s New Year’s Eve in the Netherlands, and you’ve arrived at the country’s capital to explore its iconic waterways before the celebrations begin back on the Ventura in the evening. With the cruise terminal just a short distance from the heart of the city, you'll be picked up by the coach and head off on an included excursion - an accessible boat trip through the Amsterdam canals. This picturesque trip allows you to get into the heart of Amsterdam and see it at its best. 

In the evening, we’ll bring in the New Year in style while docked in Amsterdam port. Put on your glad rags and prepare to sing, party and enjoy a fantastic evening with your fellow passengers. With special NYE entertainment, this will be a night to remember.

FAQs

What’s included in a Cunard accessible cabin?

Accessible cabins are available on request. However, they are limited and places sell out quickly. Accessible Outside, Balcony & Mini-Suite Cabins may also be available, though prices will vary. Every accessible cabin features:

  • Wide access doors

  • Space for mobility scooters to be stored

  • Showers with wide door access, pull-down chairs and grip handles

How does Limitless assist with check in and boarding?

Having met the Limitless Team at the port, we'll accompany you to the special assistance check-in. As it's separate from regular check-in, there are no crowds or lengthy queues.

You'll then be given a boarding time. Usually, we board as a group. However, if this isn't possible and you would like the assistance, we ensure a carer accompanies you onto the ship.

We board via the accessible gangway. This ramp connects the ship to the port. If you require support or assistance, both the Limitless Team and the ship's crew will be on hand to help. There are also manual wheelchairs available to make this transfer easier.

On some ships, the accessible gangway can be a little steep. In these instances, two crew members will provide support - one in front and one behind. You'll never be rushed and your safety and comfort are always the priorities.

Remember, you don't need to pre-book any special assistance at the port! We provide this assistance as standard with all Limitless cruises.

What is Limitless Group Support & Holiday Assistance?

Group Support & Holiday Assistance is included as standard with all Limitless holidays. It's what sets us apart from every other UK holiday provider!

This level of support is suitable for those who do not require physical support, but may need a helping hand to make the most of their holiday experience. We provide this assistance in a group setting, so you must be able to support yourself if you intend to leave the group at any point.

What does Group Support & Holiday Assistance include?

✓ Pre-holiday assistance from your Personal Travel Advisor, who will answer any questions you have and provide support with hiring any limited mobility equipment you require.

✓ During your holiday, the Limitless Team will assist you with making the holiday accessible day-to-day, including:

✓ Help with checking into your hotel

✓ Assistance with luggage

✓ Help with accessing excursions

For more details, speak with a member of the Limitless team on [PHONE_NUMBER].

What can Limitless do if I require additional care and support?

At Limitless, we offer a range of additional care packages if your require a little more assistance. This allows us to tailor care to individual Limitless Travellers and ensure your needs are met while on holiday.

They range from our Morning, Evening & Occasional Daytime Care package for travellers who require intermittent assistance with personal care to our One-to-One Care With Hoisting package for travellers who would benefit from comprehensive, all-day care.

We always recommend getting touch with your Personal Travel Advisor to discuss care packages. They are always on hand to answer questions, provide information, and make recommendations about the package they think is most suitable for you. You can contact Limitless on [PHONE_NUMBER].

In addition to this, our care team will also reach out to you three months before your holiday to confirm you have everything you need to travel with complete confidence.

What are anchor ports and is Limitless responsible for port changes?

At Limitless Travel, we carefully select cruise itineraries with minimal anchor ports. Anchor ports are those destinations where port logistics mean a small boat or ‘tender’ transport is required to ferry guests to shore. In the vast majority of cases, these tenders are not accessible and some Limitless Travellers will not be able to leave the ship.

Unfortunately, port changes can happen due to any number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel cannot be held accountable for any such port changes.
