MEDICAL EMERGENCY ON A CRUISE SHIP?
FLY HOME. FEEL BETTER
SICK OR INJURED WHILE ON A CRUISE SHIP?
Cruise ships offer a unique way to relax and see the world. While no one plans to get sick or injured on vacation, it can happen. With numerous passengers and limited medical access on a cruise ship, you may need to find alternate transportation home or to your hospital of choice if you experience a medical emergency.
At REVA, we offer medical transport services from cruise ships regardless of their location through our partnership with Tropic Ocean Airways. Our beneficial partnership combines 40 years of experience in seaplane aviation and medical evacuation to increase reaction times for cruise ship medical emergencies.
