Imagine Cruising and their treatment of a disabled booking

We bought a N0 Fly Queen Anne Voyage, Lake Garda & All inclusive Venice Simplon Orient Express through the website Imagine Cruises and we had a bad experience with them..

One of us is disabled and after a number of initial questions from the Imagine Cruises Sales team they agreed that the package was suitable for a disabled person.

Despite the fact that Imagine Cruises knew that there was a disabled person they initially booked us in 2 separate carriages on the Eurostar, in non disabled areas & with no wheelchair assistance.

Prior to the holiday, I sent Imagine Cruises a number of queries relating to the disability and discovered the following:

After a lot of argument Imagine Cruises eventually amended the tickets so we were in the same carriage, but we were told that it was upto us to arrange assistance.

So to cover ourselves we bought 2 additional Eurostar tickets for the same train journey. Imagine Cruises have said that they would not refund us the cost of these tickets.

Eurostar also informed us that as it was a group booking the assistance had to booked through the travel agent.

Eventually after a number of emails Imagine Cruises changed the tickets to have us both in the same carriage with wheelchair space but still insisted they could not arrange assistance at both the start & finish of the train journey.

So again after a number of phonecalls & emails Imagine Cruises arranged the assistance.

However this is the important point I received a final email from Imagine saying that such a holiday ‘IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A DISABLED PERSON!!!’.

This comment offended us both & I would advise all disabled persons to be very careful when booking through Imagine Cruises as they will not be very helpful.

The holiday started with an 8 day cruise on the Cunard ship the Queen Anne. Although we were worried about how the disability would affect the voyage, we need not have worried.

The cruise was wonderful & the staff were very helpful. We saw a number of disabled people on board, with wheelchairs & mobility devices so we were reassured.

The holiday involved an 8 day cruise on the Cunard ship the Queen Anne & we next visited Florence, Pisa and Lake Garda & a trip on the Orient Express. The experience was very manageable for a disabled person.

The Imagine Cruises Travel Rep who met us in Rome & stayed with us to Paris was very helpful & we are very grateful to him for his assistance & patience.

I have also informed Cunard and have booked a cruise in 2026 but not through Imagine Cruises.
