The present invention relates to lavatories on-board a vehicle, and relates in particular to a lavatory unit for use by persons with reduced mobility on-board a vehicle. In order to provide a lavatory unit on-board a vehicle that considers space-saving requirements, while nevertheless allowing the use by a person, for example, sitting in a wheelchair, a lavatory unit (10) for use by persons with reduced mobility on-board a vehicle is provided, comprising a lavatory housing structure (12) enclosing a lavatory interior space (14), a door opening (16) in the lavatory housing structure, a toilet assembly (18) inside the lavatory interior space, and a transition seating support (20) for a user. The transition seating support provides a first transfer position (26) and a second transfer position (30). In the first transfer position, in an open door state the transition seating support is directly accessible for a person sitting in a wheelchair that is located at least partly outside the lavatory unit such that the person can transfer to the transition seating support and vice versa, and in the second transfer position, a person sitting on the transition seating support can transfer to the toilet assembly and vice versa.
