Australia’s award-winning adventure cruise company Aurora Expeditions has created an updated Health & Safety Program in preparation for the resumption of expedition cruising.
Every aspect of Aurora Expeditions’ new Health & Safety program has been strengthened to protect against Covid-19 and to ensure the company is able to cruise in the safest, most enjoyable way possible for its guests.
Aurora Expeditions’ Health & Safety policy now includes mandatory vaccination prior to embarking on any of its voyages, with this policy applying to all guests, crew, and Expedition Team members.
Along with 100% fully vaccinated ships, onboard features strengthening safety include:
- 100% Fresh Air on Board
Aurora Expeditions’ ships have ultra-modern systems which provide 100% fresh air in every cabin – guest and crew. There is no recirculation of air throughout its vessels. - Medical Team & Fully Equipped Medical Centre
An emergency medical team including a doctor and a nurse with current training in public health protocols, outbreak prevention, and management protocols will be aboard every voyage. - PCR Testing
A key component of Aurora’s industry-leading Health & Safety Program is the inclusion of break-through rapid on-site PCR testing machines onboard. This enables Aurora Expeditions to carry out onboard PCR testing of guests and crew to ensure continued peace of mind. - Off-ship Experiences
As part of Aurora Expeditions’ continued commitment to providing expedition experiences in the safest and most enjoyable way possible, in each landing guests will be accompanied by a medic.
“Aurora Expeditions is excited about the world emerging from Covid-19 and is looking forward to the resumption of cruising and returning to doing what we do best – small ship expeditions – in our 30th year of operation,” says Monique Ponfoort, CEO of Aurora Expeditions. “The health and safety of our guests, staff, and crew remain our number one priority, and we are committed to providing the best opportunity for our guests to fully enjoy the small ship expedition experience offered with Aurora Expeditions,” Ponfoort continued
