Lisa Parnell and her team at Accessible Cruising look forward to hearing from you.
I have just returned from two weeks' holiday onboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. I am a dialysis patient and the care and treatment I received was excellent. I didn't know about dialysing at sea until earlier this year and I had thought my cruising days were over. It was just wonderful to know that I could cruise again and receive first-class treatment at the same time. Thank you

Our in-depth knowledge of cruising ensures we are well equipped to discuss all cruise, dialysis and accessibility options with you and we are always happy to answer any questions you may have. After all it’s your holiday!
Your Dialysis treatments Your dialysis treatments will take place in the dedicated Dialysis Suite onboard each ship. You will be looked after from the beginning to the end of your cruise by a qualified Nephrologist and nurses who are onboard for the duration of your cruise. The dialysis team can be contacted 24 hours a day. Wherever possible your dialysis treatments will be arranged around the ports of call ensuring you can make the most of your cruise. Shore excursions are usually offered so you can visit the local places of interest.

Read what our clients have to say... “My dad had a wonderful cruise onboard Explorer of the Seas from the start. There was a welcome meeting so that the dialysis patients and staff could meet each other and be shown round the dialysis area. Dr and nurses were very friendly and helpful couldn't have asked for better. Dad enjoyed it so much he wants to go again”.
land Holidays As an alternative to a cruise you may wish to consider a land holiday. We can arrange your flights, transfers, hotel and dialysis at a nearby dialysis centre. We can also arrange transport to and from the local dialysis centre so everything is taken care of and you can focus on enjoying your holiday. We have land holiday locations all over the world with a range of hotels to suit your individual taste, from traditional grand hotels in Europe to chic resorts in exotic locations. With a land dialysis holiday, you can choose the destination, flights and duration to suit you and your budget. Dialysis is available in destinations all over the world, including locations where the EHIC (previously E111) is accepted for dialysis treatments during your stay. To discuss your land holiday please call us on 0844 800 2624
“Nothing like having your hotel room and hospital facility travelling with you while you visit places. 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”. "Thank you for arranging our cruise on board Independence of the Seas. The added bonus of this cruise was the fact that it sailed from Southampton, which made the whole experience so much better. My husband was well looked after by the staff during his dialysis sessions on board. We can thoroughly recommend 'cruising with haemodialysis on board' and it was also a pleasure to meet Lisa on this cruise". “Our river cruise exceeded all that I dreamt of, staff, food, ambience, everything was super. We also had a beautiful room and thoroughly enjoyed going at same pace as ship. We really enjoyed all care from everyone on board. The dialysis team were excellent. Thank you for all your help”. “I have just returned from two weeks' holiday onboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. I am a dialysis patient and the care and treatment I received was excellent. I didn't know about dialysing at sea until earlier this year and I had thought my cruising days were over. It was just wonderful to know that I could cruise again and receive first-class treatment at the same time. Thank you”.

“
I just wanted to let you know that my parents and I really enjoyed the cruise around the Norwegian Fjords and to thank you for all your help in arranging the trip. The medical team on board was excellent and looked after my father extremely well. As you can imagine we were a little apprehensive with this being our first trip away since my father has needed dialysis but everything went smoothly and we were kept fully updated as to how each session went. The MSC cruise staff were also very helpful, ensuring my father had everything he needed. We would not hesitate to recommend this cruise to others.
