Lisa Parnell and her team at Accessible Cruising look forward to hearing from you.
We just wanted to thank you for all the help and arrangements you made for our wonderful cruise down the Danube on the Mozart. The Mozart is a wonderful ship, food great and the staff so very helpful and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. The dialysis for my husband went very well and fitted in well with the ports of call.

Your
Onboard Dialysis The Dialysis Holidays difference The team at Accessible Cruising are not travel agents. Would you trust the organisation of your dialysis treatments to a travel agent ? Of course not. We are dialysis co-ordinators who put the importance of you and your dialysis first. As well as arranging your dialysis onboard we also take care of your cruise booking, your flights and transfers. We are always happy to answer your questions and to discuss the different types of cruise options with you. We have many clients who book with us year after year and we are proud of the service we offer, however don’t just take our word for it - read through the testimonials on our website to see what our clients have to say. Dialysis treatment times and cabin availability on all ships is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. We can accommodate approximately 12-16 patients per cruise therefore we recommend booking as early as possible. Also, if you book soon you can take advantage of the early booking promotions shown in this brochure.
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 that you can visit the local places of interest. Alternatively, if you wish to explore independently you can make your own way or public transport and taxis are available.

As your dialysis treatments are available onboard there is no travelling to the dialysis centre. So as soon as you have finished your dialysis session, you are back on holiday!

Lisa will be onboard for the April and September departures and Brian will accompany you during the August departure as shown below. We will be onboard for the duration of your cruise and will greet you every evening at dinner to see if your day has been a pleasant one or to address any concerns that you might have.

What to wear
During the day casual wear is ideal with comfortable shoes for exploring ashore. Although cruising isn’t as formal as it once was, some passengers still love to dress up in the evening. During every cruise there is usually a Captain’s Welcome Dinner and a Captain’s Farewell Gala. During these evenings you may choose to wear something a little more formal. However, it’s your holiday so it’s up to you !

Don’t just take our word for it. Here are just a few comments from our clients…
“I just wanted to let you know that my parents and I really enjoyed the cruise around the Norwegian Fjords last week 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.” “We just wanted to thank you for all the help and arrangements you made for our wonderful cruise down the Danube on the Mozart. The Mozart is a wonderful ship, food great and the staff so very helpful and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. The dialysis for my husband went very well and fitted in well with the ports of call. The weather was beautiful. Once again, many thanks.” “We particularly wanted a Southampton departure and the boarding procedures at the port ran like clockwork. The medical facilities and staff onboard were excellent, they arranged dialysis for my husband on sea days so that we would not miss out on the shore excursions, we were very impressed by the whole set up – so much so that this has given us the confidence to book another cruise for next year. We can thoroughly recommend ‘cruising with haemodialysis onboard’ and thank Lisa for helping us make this possible.” “Many thanks for arranging our dialysis holiday on the Mozart. We have had a wonderful experience. We were treated extremely well and felt to be very special. The cruise director Alex & his assistant Natalie couldn't do enough for us. The food was 5 star, the dialysis sessions were well planned so it didn't stop us going on the tours off ship. We hope to repeat the experience again. Thank you so much for your help.”
