High knowledge Every crew member undergoes a health check and have completed WHO’s official COVID-19 course for hygiene procedures and infection management.
Cleaning We have strict cleaning practices on board that have proven themselves effective time and again over decades of safe sailing.
Food service We will have more seating sessions and individual plating instead of self-service buffets. The kitchen will uphold its usual high standards of hygiene and quality.
What you do
Stay healthy Before embarkation, you will be required to hand in a self-declaration form which ensures the safety of you, your fellow passengers and our crew.
Keep a distance You should keep a reasonable and respectful distance from others. Markings on the ships will help you keep a safe distance while queuing.
Wash your hands Make sure you uphold good hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water or alcohol based hand sanitizer.
For the summer of 2020 we will not sail with more than 50% capacity, so there will be even more room on our already spacious ships. We have a variety of ships of different sizes, so the precise numbers of fellow guests will vary from ship to ship.
We ask all guests to comply with national guidelines issued by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health at all times. Among other things, this means that while on board, wearing a face mask is optional.
Respect the capacity restrictions in the various public areas on the ship, such as the swimming pool, sauna, gym and other communal areas.
Keep at least one metre from each other, and respect the floor markings set up to help with this.
Frequent hand washing is one of the most important measures against infection. You will often be asked to wash or disinfect your hands; including at embarkation and disembarkation, outside all restaurants and on entering public areas.
You will be asked to open a cruise account where all purchases are registered on a touch-free card. We do this to limit the use of cash and frequent contact with payment terminals.
