Questions... How do I Book A Cruise? Once you have chosen a specific date and destination, call us on 0844 800 2624 and our trained dialysis co-ordinators will take care of all of your cruise and dialysis arrangements. We will take care of all of your booking arrangements including the cruise, flights, transfers and onboard dialysis treatments.

How Far In Advance should I Book my Cruise? 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 discounts shown in this brochure.

Where will my Dialysis Treatments take place ? 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, public transport and taxis are available.

We recommend taking the time to read about each ship within our brochure and also visit our website www.dialysisholidays.co.uk Also, please telephone us and we will be pleased to chat to you about our experiences onboard.

Are the Cruises Formal ? 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 guests may choose to wear something a little formal. However, it’s your holiday so it’s up to you.

Do you offer Travel Insurance ? Travel Insurance can be included with your Costa Cruise.

SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. HERE ARE JUST A FEW TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR SATISFIED CLIENTS “We found the cruise to be a wonderful experience, we went to the Iron Gate as it was the 11 day cruise. We had excellent help from Lisa of Dialysis Holidays, she arranged everything for us.” “Now we are at home again, after a wonderful cruise “Midnight Sun”. Everything was perfect. The ship was very, very good, the crew very polite and kind, the weather okay. So nothing to complain about.” “I just want to thank you for all you did for our holiday. It was brilliant honestly, the dialysis was first rate and could not be faulted.” “Just wanted to thank you again for all your help in sorting out our Danube cruise. It was a really good holiday and we made some good friends. Can I just say what a difference it made having Brian on board.” “Well, here we are back in Canada after our wonderful holiday on the Danube. We were so fortunate to have wonderful weather every day - even when it was chilly we had sun. My husband and I were both very enthused about the Mozart and the ease of getting around and off and on the ship in comparison to the huge cruise ships. Even the initial embarkation and debarking at cruise end was totally hassle free! Thank you so much for putting our trip together for us. You made it very easy to organize all the way from Canada.” “Thank you for your help throughout. You have been tremendous support and I appreciate this very much.” “We did enjoy our cruise very much. The dialysis went very well. Once again, thank you very much for all the help you have given us.” “Just wanted to thank you for the arrangements for the Harmony of the Danube cruise. We had a wonderful time, the dialysis went without a hitch and we’ll be looking for something similar next year.” “Back from our cruise and had a lovely time. The dialysis team were excellent. Thank you so much for all your help in booking the holiday and advice you gave us.” “We are back home after a very enjoyable and well arranged cruise and dialysis. Thank you once again for all your assistance in ensuring that all details were well taken care of which made the cruise truly memorable for us.” “We are back home, delighted and satisfied. The cruise was very beautiful, and we wish to thank you for your part in it. The dialysis was very well organised, the ship is nice, the crew is friendly and helpful, the food is excellent - and the fjords are magnificent.”

For the last 20 years, Gérard Pons Voyages has been organising cruises for people suffering from kidney disease. Holiday Dialysis International - a division of the Fresenius Medical Care Group - and MSC Cruises, leaders in their respective fields, are partners of Gérard Pons Voyages.

Travelling safely around the world

Service Charge : For all hotel services a service charge will be added each day to the guests’ account. The amount will be 7 € per day per adult, for all cruises lasting up to 8 nights and 6 € per day per adult for longer cruises. There is no service charge for children under the age of 14, whereas guests between the ages of 14 and 17 will be charged 50% of the above rates. The service charge is an integral part of the total price of the cruise and therefore the amount cannot be altered. Passport & Visa Valid passport or ID card. Note that formalities are different according to the passengers’ nationality and cruise itinerary, please ask for details. Payment: Please note: Our Currency conversions translate Euros into GB Pounds. Currencies fluctuate continuously, and these conversions are only approximate and are subject to change. All deposits and final payment must be made in Euros via credit or debit card.

Holiday Dialysis International is a corporate unit of Fresenius Medical Care, staffed with dedicated highly experienced personnel (each with over 10 years of experience in the service), which provides and coordinates a booking service for dialysis sessions on behalf of patients, of all nationalities, during their holidays or during the course of a temporary visit and / or stay in a place other than the regular domicile

Travel, magic, escape, relaxation… the pleasure of cruising with the most modern and luxurious fleet in the world. We pride ourselves on Italian style, exceptional comfort, warm hospitality and strong environmental credentials. The journey is the destination.

The proposed cruises are open to HD and PD dialysis patients, transplanted patients as well as their families and friends. The ships are fully equipped with a dialysis unit managed by a qualified nephrologist and specialised renal nurses. The dialysis machines are Fresenius Medical Care 4008S and can be used for single needle and standard bicarbonate dialysis. Only single use materials are used. The water treatment system is equipped with reverse osmosis units. As far as possible, dialysis sessions will be scheduled while the vessel is at sea in order to allow guests to go ashore and participate in excursions. The dialysis shifts will be organised in groups of 3/4 patients, and 3/4 groups will be scheduled on different shifts and days (you may indicate your preferred shift and your request will be taken into consideration according to availability). Travel is always subject to approval by medical staff and a minimum of 12 dialysing guests are required per cruise.
