Sick on your cruise stop in Cartagena?

What to send us on WhatsApp

  1. Your symptoms and since when.
  2. Your all-aboard time, so we only promise what fits in your stop.
  3. Where you are now (pin location is perfect).
  4. Any medicines you take or allergies.

What we can help with during a stop

  • Stomach bugs, vomiting or diarrhea
  • Dehydration and heat exhaustion
  • Fever, sore throat, ear pain
  • Minor injuries from excursions
  • Prescriptions you need before getting back on board

You get a medical report and a receipt for your travel insurance.

Be honest with yourself about time

If your stop is short and the problem can wait, the ship's medical center may be the simplest option. If you'd rather be seen on land, in English, without waiting, that's what we're here for. We won't make you miss the ship.

How it works

  1. Message us on WhatsApp or book online and tell us what's going on.
  2. We confirm the time and place; in most of Cartagena the doctor arrives in under 1 hour.
  3. You're seen right there, in English. Pay online by card or in person at the end. You see the price before booking.
