Janet524 Posted March 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Friends are taking a Viking cruise in the Med in May. He uses a CPAP. Wanted to know if CPAPs can be rented for cruising in Europe. He doesn't want the hassle of taking his with him if they are available for renting on the cruise. Any information will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple friends who use CPAPs and there are no rentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOPMan Posted March 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Special Needs at Sea, a very well-known company that provides wheelchair and scooter rentals to cruise ship passengers also rents respiration equipment including CPAPs. I can’t speak to their availability in Europe, but you could ask them directly: https://www.specialneedsatsea.com/reserve-equipment/respiratory-equipment-rental/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted March 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2022 CPAP are set according to the prescription. They are personal devices that you breath into and out all night long.....not something you would want to use after someone else uses it. If you go on vacations a lot, I recommend a travel CPAP that is light weight, and some can even be operated by battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted March 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Note that SNAS requires a prescription. I am not familiar with device sterilization practices, but am sure if you asked, they’d be happy to provide documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted March 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I no longer use a CPAP machine but when I did I would never use one that had been used by someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
