The International Cruise Summit 2025 once again highlighted the importance of traveler health within the global tourism sector. International HM Hospitals continues to consolidate its position as the leading private provider of medical assistance for cruise ship passengers and crew arriving in Spain, offering coordinated and reliable healthcare year-round.
For over a decade, HM Hospitals has provided comprehensive medical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, guaranteeing a rapid response and personalized attention in the patient's preferred language. Its specialized medical teams and multilingual staff handle urgent cases, medical reports, and insurance claims for international travelers.
The most frequent requests are related to traumatology and cardiovascular care, while crew members —who spend long periods at sea— also demand dermatology, cardiology, dentistry and psychological support services.
HM Hospitals offers medical coverage in Spain's main ports, including Barcelona, Malaga, A Coruña, Vigo, and Bilbao, and will strengthen its collaboration with port authorities and cruise lines by 2025. Thanks to the proximity of its hospitals to the main terminals, patients can receive immediate care and safely return to their ship before departure.
During the last decade, thousands of travelers and crew members have been cared for and accompanied by International HM Hospitals, receiving information in their own language and, when necessary, support in communicating with family members and in medical repatriation processes.
The goal for 2026 remains clear: to guarantee the physical, mental and emotional well-being of all travelers and crews visiting Spain.
Travelers have access to a specialized team from International HM Hospitals through the website https://www.hmhospitales.com/international-patient/ and by phone at +34 930 369 065, where coordinated and personalized care is guaranteed.
