Windermere Jetty (Museum) can only be accessed by our smaller modern launches that are not suitable for wheelchair access. If you are travelling by wheelchair we would recommend other cruises that use our larger ships called 'steamers' (marked in black on our timetables and on Red & Yellow routes) or visiting Windermere Jetty by car.
If a disabled adult in your group needs a carer, then the carer travels free. For more information about this scheme and to see all the terms and conditions, please read our company policy for disabled passengers.
Please visit our Accessibility section for more information.
Wheelchair users are strongly advised to call us to confirm which vessel is operating on which service, particularly in poor weather conditions. As on rare occasions, the vessels operating each route can change.
