WE ARE USUALLY ASKED ABOUT

What is ARGO MARITME DIALYSIS CRUISES and how does it work?

ARGO MARITME DIALYSIS provides yachting holidays onboard luxury yachts. The dialysis treatments take place in private dialysis clinics at land (see DIALYSIS TREATMENT section) while your stay on specific ports, based on the cruise you select.

How do I book a cruise?

Once you have chosen a specific date and a selected cruise (departure Athens or Rhodes island), just send us an email: and our personnel will be able to take care of all your cruise travel needs including your dialysis treatments and contact you back. Your personal medical data will be handled directly from our dialysis clinics partners medical team.

Will insurance pay for my dialysis treatments?

The dialysis treatment cost is billed separately. The dialysis patients must pay their dialysis treatments  bill,  prior to the cruise directly to our partners dialysis clinics . Once you return from your cruise, our partners dialysis clinics team will provide you with an itemized statement of your dialysis treatments so you can file a claim for reimbursement. We do not deal directly with insurance companies and therefore are not aware of which companies and individual policies will reimburse for the dialysis.

How far in advance should I book my cruise?

Pending on the cruise package and the yacht we take from 6 up to twelve (11) patients / clients (night stay) on a cruise, therefore we suggest booking as early as possible, to avoid disappointment.

Do you offer travel insurance?

We offer travel insurance which covers pre-existing conditions through our partner Travel Insurance agent. The price is based on the total cost of the cruise and the age of the travelers.

Can I cancel my cruise reservation?

ARGO MARITIME DIALYSIS will assess a 33% cancellation fee on any cancellation received prior to departure.

Can you arrange my flight tickets and my transportation?

We can arrange all your travel needs up to / from Athens & Rhodes island airports through our travel agent. Transportation to / from the yacht with no cost.

If my flight lands in Athens and need a dialysis treatment the following day, do we sail?

Our partners dialysis clinics medical team will decide based on your medical record when to have your dialysis treatment. It is recommended the 1st day of your cruise and the last day prior to departure to spend in Athens / Rhodes island, onboard your 5* luxury motor yacht. Thus you have your dialysis treatments in our clinic in Athens / Rhodes isl. and feel safe and relaxed to start your cruise / fly back home.
