Cruise Caregiver Set sail, fully supported.
A Certified Nursing Assistant sails with your loved one as a dedicated cruise companion, from the Port of Long Beach to ports around the world, so every day at sea is safe, comfortable and unhurried.
Every day of the voyage.
From embarkation to the final morning in port, your loved one has a trained, attentive cruise caregiver at their side.
Before sailing
Packing, medications organized for every day aboard, and a care plan built around the ship and itinerary.
Embarkation
The drive to port, wheelchair assistance, check-in, boarding and settling into the stateroom.
Life aboard
Bathing, dressing, safe transfers and medication reminders on schedule, day and night.
Ports & excursions
Accessible shore days at a comfortable pace, dinners and shows, or a quiet day aboard.
Home again
Disembarkation, luggage, the ride home, unpacking and a full recap for family.
For the voyages worth taking.
Ideal when a cruise feels like too much to manage alone, or when family wants to enjoy the trip too, rather than spend it providing care.

Planned with you, from the start.
Share the ship and sailing dates. We match the caregiver, build an onboard care plan and coordinate the details with your family.
Cruise lines generally ask guests who need help with personal care or mobility to sail with a companion, since ship crew do not provide personal care. Your caregiver’s cruise fare and stateroom are arranged with your family in advance.

Cruise caregivers, answered.
Can a caregiver go on a cruise with my parent?
Yes. A Premium Care Certified Nursing Assistant sails as your loved one’s cruise companion, usually sharing or staying in an adjoining stateroom, and provides personal care and mobility support throughout the voyage.
Do cruise lines require a companion for seniors who need assistance?
Most cruise lines ask guests who need help with personal care, mobility or medications to travel with someone who can assist them, because ship crew do not provide that care. A cruise caregiver fills that role.
Which ports do your caregivers sail from?
Most of our families sail from the Port of Long Beach, the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro or San Diego. Our caregivers can also fly with your loved one to departures around the world.
Can you help with wheelchairs and accessible staterooms?
Yes. We coordinate wheelchair assistance at the terminal and aboard, and help your family plan for an accessible stateroom when booking.
Is a cruise caregiver a nurse?
Our cruise caregivers are Certified Nursing Assistants, certified by the California Department of Public Health and supervised by a Registered Nurse. They provide non-medical personal care; the ship’s medical center handles medical treatment aboard.
How far in advance should we book a cruise caregiver?
As soon as your sailing is booked, ideally six weeks or more ahead, so your caregiver can be added to the reservation.
