- Ask your travel agent if there are any special requirements when travelling with oxygen. Most cruise lines specify each passenger must make his or her own oxygen arrangements. Your oxygen supplier should be able to help you with coordinating oxygen for your trip or direct you to an organization that specializes in travel oxygen. Passengers must provide a letter from their doctor prior to travel indicating they are fit to travel, travel plans and oxygen prescription (hours of use and oxygen flowrate).
- When coordinating your oxygen needs for your cruise you will need to provide the following information:
- Name of Cruise line and vessel
- Departure city and date
- Return date
- Oxygen flow rate and hours of use
- Equipment needs will be determined based on the information you provide so be as accurate as possible
- Once oxygen has been arranged it will be delivered to the vessel on the day of your departure.
- Ships do not refill oxygen tanks.
- Oxygen arrangements should be made 30-45 days prior to travel.
- Costs for oxygen on cruise lines may not be covered by government programs, private insurance carriers or other payors.
