Ever since COVID, participation in Sea Puffers travel has remained low - the main reason we organized the trips was to let people know they were not alone in dealing with lung problems. We have truly appreciated each and every person we have traveled with and know you are forever in our hearts.

 

We are always here to help with your individual travel plans including arranging oxygen and mobility needs, but at this time, we are not planning the group trips beyond next March. We will always get you the best pricing as the cruise lines often run promotions that may lower your costs - even after you make your reservation deposit.

Thank you for your support and understanding!

Please call 1-386-673-3019 for more information.

 
Who are the Sea Puffers?

Celeste Belyea and Holly Marocchi are registered respiratory therapists who became travel agents. They have been escorting the Sea Puffers with their friends and families, on trips and cruises since 2003. Their goal is to ensure people know, that just because they may use oxygen, does not mean they can no longer travel and enjoy life!

Where do you travel?

The majority of trips we plan are cruises – You unpack once and get to wake up in a different city to explore. We often schedule group shore excursions but you are more than welcome to go off on your own. We are here for back up. We have traveled from Hawaii to Russia; Canada and the Caribbean and many, many places in between!

Is there any extra cost for traveling with the Sea Puffers?

None! We are part of Cruise Planners – a nationwide network of full-service travel agents that allows us to get you great pricing and perks for your trip. We are often able to lower your cruise fare when a new promotion comes out.
We arrange your flight to the port the day before the trip and send all necessary documentation for your oxygen equipment to the cruise and airlines. During the vacation, we get together and trade tips on living with lung disease and show off new oxygen equipment. If you need to rent oxygen or mobility equipment as scooters, we take care of those arrangements with reliable rental companies.

Can I travel with the Sea Puffers as a solo traveler?

Of course! Many of our travelers travel solo. If you need someone to push you in a wheelchair or help with daily activities however, your should bring along a helper as Celeste and Holly are unable to do so.

Can you help me on my own vacation?

Absolutely! We can take care of your travel, mobility and oxygen arrangements. Cruise Planners is an American Express travel agency which means you can also you credit card points to pay for your travel.
