I use opioid/methadone medication. Can I bring it onboard?

While we do not prohibit you from bringing prescription narcotics onboard, doing so subjects you to the restrictions imposed by countries you enter, airline policies, or local port authority requirements. We suggest contacting airlines ahead of booking travel and reviewing relevant foreign regulations governing the possession or use of your specific narcotic medication. For details, also refer to General Information for Travellers Carrying Medicines Containing Controlled Substances. Bring sufficient medication to cover your entire travel period, and extra for any unexpected emergencies or travel delays (we recommend at least 10 days extra). Ships carry a limited supply of narcotic substances, and these are reserved for acute patient care needs. Requests for replacement narcotic medication cannot be guaranteed. Supply is limited, if available, and prescriptions will need to be verified with the guest’s usual healthcare provider and pharmacy. 

Travel with your medication in your hand luggage. We strongly recommend that you keep your prescription medications in the original packaging and bring a copy of the prescription and a letter from your treating doctor.

Our ships do not stock methadone onboard, and it is unlikely that this product can be sourced from local pharmacies. Our medical teams are unable to assist with routine methadone storage, dose monitoring, or controlled administration.
