**Medical facilities:** The medical facilities onboard are very limited and depending on the cruise location it will not be possible to get assistance from shore-based doctors. Dietary restrictions needing special food products may be a problem as well due to limited storage space on board and working space in the galley. As a consequence, certain medical conditions and/or allergies cannot be accommodated on board. If you have listed medical conditions or allergies that pose a problem you will be contacted to discuss the issues.
