Travel health advisory - precautionary measures pre-embarkation & during the cruises

Small is better

• Yachts carrying only 30-40 guests on average
• Enjoy Swim stops in uninhabited islands & visit quaint small islands and remote beaches accessible only by yachts
• Small Group Shore excursions and archaeological sites visits during off-peak hours

In addition to the benefits of traveling on board our small ships with a few fellow travelers, we have activated additional preventive measures so that our guests may feel prepared and confident with their decision to sail on board.

Precautionary measures on our yachts, so you can travel with confidence

With the consultation of The World Health Organization (WHO), we have adopted the below measures and sanitation protocols on board our small ships since the beginning of the outbreak.  Up to today, and following these protocols across our fleet, we have not had a COVID-19 case on board our yachts.

Policies currently in place include:

• Mandatory pre-boarding health reporting and screening
• Health & Sanitation Protocols on board our yachts
• Crew Outbreak response plan and outbreak prevention protocols

Mandatory pre-embarkation screening

We have implemented pre-cruise screening for all guests and crew. This includes:

All passengers and crew will be screened prior embarkation and every morning during the cruise for:

1. Body temperature
2. Blood oxygen content
3. Infectious antibodies  

Boarding will be denied to any guest or crew who has, within 14 days of embarkation:

• have experienced any flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing
• have had close contact with, or helped care for, anyone suspected or diagnosed as having COVID-19, or who is currently subject to health monitoring for possible exposure to COVID-19
