An update - It seems that obtaining oxygen with the flow capacity and tank that my husband needs is impossible in Europe. We have been in touch with the suggested suppliers and were told that it is unavailable. Our TA is trying one last avenue through Regent. It would appear our special gift to ourselves of our first cruise in Europe will not materialize. Thank you to all who posted.

Thank you for your comments. I have researched the boards and contacted my TA who in turn had me call Care Vacations. They are investigating the availability of the equipment and will get back to me. I have been told that oxygen tanks are not available for cruises in Europe. ededmd - you are correct about the patterns of the headaches - my husband usually suffers with his headaches during the night and therefore having the oxygen by the bedside works best for him. Early and quick intervention minimizes the length of the headache. I will keep investigating but also hope that he will be in a remission period while we are away.

We are booked on Regent Mariner Mediterranean cruise next year. Would be interested in knowing if any members who have been dx with cluster migraines have any suggestions or thoughts on obtaining the oxygen therapy needed while on European cruise.
