I have seen people on my cruises who use oxygen. However, since covid many cruise lines have changed their rules. The best thing yo do is to speak to the cruise line you want to go with. I hope that you do go on a cruise. A lovely way for you to have a holiday

Good morning

Sorry to here you have been now put on oxygen

I’ve been on oxygen for over 12 years now , I’m on 4 litres pm 24/7

Irregular go away to visit family even go on holidays

All you need to do is ring your oxygen supplier and they will sort everything out for have your oxygen delivered ready for when you arrive , normally when it’s a first time having oxygen at the place you are staying if a family or friends home they like to do a safety inspection

I have a portable oxygen machine on wheels which runs of a rechargeable batterie which is amazing gives me so much freedom

It’s called the eclipse 5

I still and have always continued doing everything I did before I drive , go out all the time , go on holiday stay with family & friends

I wish you well and hope this helps

Hi I am on 4 litres 14 hours pd. I have cruised prior to this but would recommend you go with someone like Hurtigruten who are excellent at arranging this. Smaller boats a bit more expensive, but excellent service

You aren’t allowed to take NHS equipment out of the UK, so you may need to see if you can hire equipment from the cruise line. If you holiday within the UK, your oxygen company will arrange delivery of equipment to your holiday destination.

I recently had a week cruise with royal Caribbean to which oxygen wasn’t a problem for me. I took my 12 hr Inogen and a small 3 hr one which I used plugged in all night. I only need 1 ltr so only popped back to cabin for a recharge once a day. I did see somebody boarding with a concentrator but that’s not going to help round the ship. I don’t know you use your oxygen but speaking to the cruise operator should answer your questions. I also had my mobility scooter if I were to do it again I’d make sure it was an adults only one lol

hi. I remember people have oxygen with them in years gone by but the cruise companies have changed their policies. It will be best to research the cruise lines and see which ones will accept you. I read P&O changes but as I don’t use oxygen I don’t remember what it said sorry can’t help you more xx
