The yacht’s small, basic medical facility, staffed by a Doctor, is located on Deck 5. 

 

This facility is equipped to provide limited medical care for illness or accidents that may arise during the sailing. It is not intended to provide ongoing medical treatment for pre-existing conditions. 

 

If you anticipate a need for medical services aboard the yacht, your special requirements must be cleared in writing with SeaDream Yacht Club.  Since we are either at sea or in ports where availability of medical facilities and pharmaceutical products may be limited, we suggest you bring adequate supplies of prescription medications and other health related items.

 

If guests use injectable medication during the voyage, please ask their stewardess for assistance with special containers for disposal of needles or other related articles. 

 

Charges for medical assistance will be billed to your shipboard account. Please click here for office hours and consultation fees.
