'Calm Room' Now On Wightlink Ferry - What else makes an autism friendly Isle of Wight holiday?

​This is just brief blog to mention that Wightlink has added a 'calm room' on St Clare.

It's for 'neurodivergent or overwhelmed customers who may find a busy ferry a little stressful and need a safe space'.

​It's got neutral colours, blinds and fidget boards.

If you want to use that ferry to visit the Isle of Wight then you will need to go on the Portsmouth crossing and look for St Clare when you get to the booking page.

We've not yet written any guides about neurodivergent holidays, but if anyone's got any Isle of Wight related tips then we'd be keen to hear them so we can bundle them into a new guide.

We've got guides to disabled-friendly holidays and disabled-friendly accommodation, but that's more focused on wheelchair access rather than things like autism.
