Need a Cruise Ship Doctor?
See One Without Missing Your Ship
TravelDoctores connects cruise passengers with licensed doctors by video, from €33. No walk-in visit, no report to the ship’s medical staff. Check your boarding pass below to see if you have time.
Estimates based on typical pier-to-pharmacy transit time. Your doctor can give you a more precise read during your consultation.
A convenient alternative for minor issues
For non-contagious, non-emergency conditions, you can skip the ship’s medical center, its fees, and the wait. This isn’t a way to avoid reporting something the ship needs to know about — if your symptoms could be contagious or serious, our doctors will tell you to notify the ship’s medical staff too, because that protects everyone on board, not just you.
When to contact the ship instead
Symptoms of a stomach bug that could be contagious, a high fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or anything that feels like an emergency — contact the ship’s medical center directly. They’re equipped to isolate and treat contagious illness safely for the whole ship.

Ports on your itinerary
Barcelona, Cozumel, and La Romana — three of the busiest cruise ports on our network, each with its own logistics.
Barcelona
Arrived early or staying on after your cruise? Take your time from your hotel. Only in port for the day? Most ships dock at Moll Adossat, 20–30 min from the city center — check the pass above first.
Cozumel
A few hours ashore, no overnight stay. Punta Langosta has a pharmacy a short walk away. Puerta Maya or the International Pier need a taxi — check your pier above before you disembark.
La Romana
One of the busiest cruise ports in the Dominican Republic — close to 280,000 cruise passengers a year. Ashore for a few hours or staying at Casa de Campo, English-speaking care is minutes away.

Frequently asked questions
You can start with whatever time you have. If you need a prescription, it’s sent digitally right away — you can fill it later, even after you’ve sailed, as long as you’re still in the same country where the doctor is licensed.
No. It’s a video call — it works from your cabin if you have ship wifi, or from anywhere on shore.
For non-contagious, non-urgent conditions, this consultation is independent of the ship’s medical system. It’s not a way to hide something the ship needs to know — if your doctor identifies anything contagious or serious, they’ll advise you to also notify the ship’s medical staff, since that’s what keeps everyone on board safe.
The calculator above tells you upfront. If it won’t work, you can still get a diagnosis and a digital prescription from your consultation — but it’s only valid at pharmacies in the country you’re in during that consultation, not at your next port or once you’re home.
