Exploring the Ventura

With so many facilities to choose from and so much ship to explore, it can be difficult to know where to begin. But that's where your Limitless Group comes in. There is always a friendly face waiting for you, and people to dine, chat, sing, relax and maybe even dance with.
Whether it's knowing you have a team to join for the evening quiz, catching up over a morning coffee, or enjoying pre-theatre cocktails together, the Limitless Group makes a big ship feel small, and gives our guests the company and confidence needed to make the most of their cruise. Typically, we all meet in the morning to catch up over breakfast, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you, and there's never any pressure to join in. But whenever you want company, it’s good to know the Limitless Group is there for you.

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 and 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!

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.
