Embark your medical career on a new international voyage of discovery. Our staff are passionate about providing quality healthcare to our guests and crew while they sail the world creating lasting memories.
CRUISE SHIP MEDICINE
Our ships provide a full spectrum of high quality, evidence-based medical care to guests and crew. This includes outpatient clinics and 24/7 emergency care with first response, inpatient care (including ICU care) and ongoing support for discharged patients, and patients that require referral and transfer of care via evacuation by sea or air.
