Renting a wheelchair for your cruise couldn’t be easier. Customers can arrange cruise mobility rentals 24/7 by booking online or calling 1-888-441-7575.

What Kind of Manual Wheelchairs Does Scootaround Rent for Cruises?
Transport Chair
Our transport wheelchair is the ideal choice for use on cruises. Their smaller size and exceptional maneuverability make these wheelchairs perfect for the narrow doorways and spaces you often find on cruise ships. This wheelchair is lightweight and strong, making it easy to transport. The wheels are also lightweight, maintenance free, and provide a smooth ride over most surfaces.
Scootaround’s transport chair comes standard with mobility accessories including swing away footrests and padded armrests to provide additional comfort and rear wheel locks to ensure safety. The transport chair also easily folds for convenient storage and transportation. To collapse the chair, simply pull up on the flexible seat and press the armrests together.
Due to their smaller size, the maximum weight for these wheelchairs is up to 250 lbs.
Seat Width: 19″
Accessories Available: Gel Cushion and Elevating Legrests
Additional Information: Transport Wheelchair Guide
Standard Wheelchair
Standard manual wheelchairs are a simple and lightweight mobility solution that are ideal in many scenarios. They are highly maneuverable and easily transported.
They can also be folded down to fit into your trunk or the closet of your ship cabin. To collapse the chair, simply pull up on the flexible seat and press the arm rests together.
Manual wheelchairs are self-propelled, meaning they require human power in order to move. Depending on user preference and capability, the manual chair can be operated by the rider or by a companion. The outer rims of the large rear wheels are designed to be easily gripped with your hands. They also have adjustable foot rests, which provide a comfortable seating level for most riders. They can also be swiveled up to allow the rider to plant their feet firmly on the ground.
Scootaround offers these wheelchairs with weight capacities of up to 350 lbs.
Seat Width: 20″
Accessories Available: Gel Cushion and Elevating Legrests
HD Wheelchair
Our heavy-duty wheelchair has a wider seat and is designed to handle weights up to 400 lbs.

River and canal day trips
- Individual river and canal trips on the Blueberry boat – individual river and canal trips always leave the warmest memories, because they provide an opportunity to get to know the city in a chamber atmosphere and spend time alone with close ones.

- A walk along the canals of St. Petersburg “Northern Venice” – an excursion with the most popular route through the city center. A cozy single-deck motor ship will slowly pass along the Fontanka and Moika rivers and introduce you to the main panoramas of St. Petersburg on the Neva.
- Excursion along the Griboyedov Canal (Ekaterininsky Canal) — a walk along a unique route with a stop at the Griboyedov Canal, where you can enjoy the Savior on Spilled Blood, the Singer House and the Kazan Cathedral from the water.

On a boat with a restaurant
- Musical boat “Night Petersburg” — a romantic cruise on a two-deck restaurant boat. The program of the evening includes a welcome glass of champagne, a musical performance by a professional pianist and, of course, the main show of summer St. Petersburg – the lifting of the Palace, Trinity, Liteiny and Bolsheokhtinsky bridges.

- Yacht charter is a more luxurious option for family outings, incendiary parties and events.
- Renting a sailing yacht is an option for those who love sails and the vastness of the Gulf of Finland. A sailing yacht is great for a summer picnic in an unusual format, a sports trip with learning the basics of yachting and a unique event.
