Since 2010 we have been doing the various dialysis cruises, organised by Accessible Cruising, and we are so happy being able to enjoy this facility. We are pleased to have taken the MSC Splendida cruise around the Mediterranean from Marseille. The dialysis was wonderfully run, timings were set to suit the various ports of call. The Doctor and his team were really good and looked after us. They were quite happy to be accommodating where needed, and overall the planning was just right.Lisa and her team organized the sailings and dialysis, and everything went as expected. Overall a wonderful trip. Lisa thank you. Mr Philip, India

To discuss your land holiday please call us on 0844 800 2624
READ WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY... “We have just enjoyed our sixth cruise with Accessible Cruising. Our experience over a number of years has included dialysis on smaller ships to the latest cruise on the ”Independence of the Seas” (Royal Caribbean). Dialysis on each ship has been extremely reliable and the medical staff in every case have been competent and friendly. When on holiday the dialysis patient must fit the inevitable treatment into their travel itinerary but the staff make these treatments a time for restful quiet or fun conversation. On this accompanied trip we felt well cared for by Lisa who made a point of chatting with each patient at dinner or in clinic each day to address any concerns. This peace of mind contributed to a happy and memorable vacation.” Mr & Mrs Swales, Canada “We discovered Accessible Cruising via the internet. We telephoned Lisa to make inquiries. She explained everything in detail and was most helpful in everything, from the time we booked to the cruise date. She handled all the paper work between the cruise company and my husband’s renal unit. All we had to do was sit back and wait. On embarkation day we were invited to a meeting with the renal medical staff and had our minds put at rest. They were a lovely crowd and my husband was looked after superbly. We had such an amazing experience, it is just wonderful to know that our holidays are just beginning again. Once again we would like to thank everybody involved in Accessible cruising for all their help and assistance.” Mr & Mrs Dodd, UK “It was our first cruise, my new husband and I were on our honeymoon. We had a wonderful time, the staff were very helpful, there was always someone around, the food and the restaurant staff were excellent and best of all the medical staff were brilliant. Of course we mustn't forget you Lisa, you are at the end of the phone ready to answer any queries and helpful you are too. We enjoyed cruising so much we have booked another one.” Mr & Mrs Newins, UK “My husband and I are very grateful to you for organizing with such efficiency our river cruise and for taking care of all the dialysis arrangements. Dialysis was performed without the slightest hitch; in fact dialysis sessions were planned in such a way that patients could participate in excursions and dialyse when the ship was sailing. The doctor and the dialysis nurses were very competent and friendly.” Mr & Mrs Lajoie, Australia “Would just like you let you know what a great holiday we had and how smoothly everything went, a big, big thank you to you for all your help.” Mr & Mrs Fox, UK “My wife and I enjoyed our cruise on Independence of the Seas and the dialysis services provided were first class.” Mr & Mrs Abel, UK “Thank you for arranging yet another successful dialysis cruising holiday for us. We enjoyed our time on the Bellejour very much. I have recommended your company to several dialysis patients.” Mr & Mrs Dawoud, UK
