1. Why have you issued mandatory vaccines for guests and overnighting employees?

The health and safety of our guests, crew members and partners are our priority. The implementation of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will further ensure the wellbeing of the individuals who overnight on our vessels. Additionally, protecting the communities we visit on each itinerary is also of primary importance.

2. Will guests and crew members need to have received both doses of the vaccine prior to boarding?

Yes. In order to be considered fully vaccinated guests and crew will be required to meet the current CDC vaccination guidelines and be fully up-to-date on their vaccines. A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible. Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time.

3. How will you know if guests and crew members have been vaccinated?

All guests and crew are required to present official documentation of vaccination that meets the current CDC vaccination guidelines, either at the time of hiring or embarking one of our vessels.

4. What health and safety protocols remain onboard?

Protocols will remain in place until the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends otherwise. These protocols include, but are not limited to:

• Guests are required to wear masks while boarding the vessel on embarkation day.
• Guests are required to wear masks while on motorcoaches.
• At all other times when on board, masks are no longer required. This rule applies to both guests and crew.

  Unless mandated by local governments and municipalities.

• Social distancing rules have been relaxed onboard.
• The vessels will continue to have both PCR and Antigen testing facilities on board to allow us to test any symptomatic guests throughout the voyage, should this be required.
• Vessels will continue to operate with Licensed medical personnel on board.
• All other sanitizing protocols in place will continue.
• Motorcoach drivers, and guides, who are not vaccinated will continue to be tested daily.

5. Is the oversight of the boat provided by the CDC and Coast Guard?

We are working with the CDC, FDA and Coast Guard to ensure ongoing communication and compliance in order to safely resume operations. Any vessel sailing in US territorial waters is required to meet all US Coast Guard and CDC regulations and requirements.

6. Will you require the vaccines (second or subsequent dose) to be given 14 days in advance of the sail date?

Yes. A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible. Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. Proof of vaccination will be required.
