It is now possible for travelers who require supplemental oxygen to see the world via cruise ship. However, cruise ships do not provide guests with oxygen except in emergencies, and every traveler must take responsibility for handling his or her oxygen before, during and after the cruise. Travelers must decide whether to rent oxygen tanks or a concentrator or bring equipment from home. Cruise lines, airlines and oxygen supply companies will require a physician's letter stating that the traveler is fit to travel before confirming travel arrangements for anyone who requires supplemental oxygen. Here are additional issues to consider:
