You can bring a sleep apnea device (CPAP) on board a cruise ship. Cruise lines understand that some passengers have specific medical needs, and they have policies in place to accommodate those needs.

You must inform the cruise line that you need this type of device. You will be asked to fill out a special needs form prior to the cruise.

Some companies also offer distilled water for your device. It is a good idea to check if this is the case before departure.

You will be asked to carry the CPAP device in your carry-on baggage when boarding.

It’s also a good idea to bring adapters for electrical outlets. However, cruise lines generally do not allow you to bring extension cords on board. Outlets are usually available near the beds.

It is important to note that policies may vary from cruise line to cruise line, so it is recommended that you check with your travel advisor or directly with the cruise line you have booked with for information specific to your situation.
