Spirit welcomes Pregnant passengers on board, however we require they seek medical approval before joining one of our cruises. If this is not possible, we can provide a waiver for Pregnant passengers to sign, stating that they have not obtained medical approval and are aware of the risks. It is usually the first few months of pregnancy that made cruising out on the open ocean a little uncomfortable. However, every pregnancy is different, and we always recommend checking with a doctor first

The Spirit Vessel is wheelchair accessible; however, all guests MUST follow the below guidelines:
- Access to the Spirit Vessel is by a ramp, which is 80 centimetres wide. The steepness of the ramp will vary depending on the tide
- Please note that the Spirit crew cannot carry passengers from their wheelchairs. All guests who use a wheelchair must be able to move themselves, or bring assistance with them
The Spirit Vessel is equipped with standard marine toilets. These toilets are narrow and may require an assistant/carer to facilitate their usage.
