Can I use this to show I am fit for expedition cruises to the Arctic or Antarctica?

Specialist cruise companies such as Hurtigruten, Antarctica Cruises, Silversea, Oceanside, Norwegian Cruise Line all require a fitness to cruise assessment and certificate before travelling to these remote locations.

If you are due to travel on an expedition cruise ship to Antarctica or the Arctic – our team of Doctors can provide a same day assessment.

As part of this assessment, our Doctors will require to see a summary of your healthcare record which must include your regular medications, any current or past significant health conditions.

Can I use this certificate to cancel or reschedule my cruise if I am unwell?

Depending on the refund or cancellation policy of your cruise providers, you may be able to supply evidence that you are unfit to cruise so you can alter your travel date or cancel entirely.

ZoomDoc’s online doctors can determine whether you are fit to travel on a cruise ship, and can also provide certificates that explain if you are no longer medically fit for a cruise.

Are you able to sign any additional forms that my cruise ship company requires?

If you require any additional forms to be completed after we have confirmed your fitness to cruise, this can be undertaken for an additional payment of £25.

Once you have sent us your pre-filled additional forms, our doctors can review, sign and stamp them prior to sending them back to you.

How long is this medical certificate valid?

Our fit-to-cruise medical certificate is valid for 90 days (3 months) from the date it is issued.

What happens if you cannot validate my medical evidence?

Our doctors thoroughly review your medical evidence and may call you if they have any questions.

If for any reason, we are unable to validate your evidence or are unable to supply you with you a certificate you will be notified and given a full refund.

Do I need a medical to work on a cruise ship?

Any crew working on a cruise ship will; be subject to medical, physical, and mental health examinations to determine their ability to keep a ship or seafaring vessel running safely and efficiently. All crew members on a ship have a vital role to play in the safety of the vessel’s passengers. As such, maritime authorities require all staff to satisfy certain examination conditions to ensure they can safely perform their duties, and are fit to undertake emergency procedures should they be required.

Contact us once you’ve found out what documents you need and we’ll be sure to help.
