About Us
We are the largest provider of dialysis services aboard cruise ships in the world.
Since 1977 we have helped thousands of individuals on dialysis and their families experience the pleasures of cruising and the excitement of taking their dream vacation. Travel with us in confidence as all of your shipboard medical needs are handled by trained medical professionals.
Experienced professionals
Each cruise is accompanied by a board eligible/certified nephrologist and one or more dialysis nurses, depending on the number of dialysis cruise patients. The medical staff is English speaking and recruited mostly from the U.S. and Canada. Twenty-four hours a day, patients can "beep" our shipboard dialysis staff, and if necessary, they can reach our stateside medical support personnel around the clock.
Medical equipment
We use the new generation Fresenius 2008K for your dialysis treatment. It provides maximum flexibility for your specific application with excellent performance and reliability. The simplicity and ease of use of the Fresenius 2008K are unsurpassed. All of our technicians are Fresenius 2008K factory Certified.
