Invoering van nieuwe hygiëne- en serviceprotocollen voor het welzijn van iedereen

Baltimore, June 5, 2020 – Hornblower Cruises and Events will be restarting its Baltimore operations on Saturday, June 6, offering a limited choice of Sightseeing and Happy Hour cruises in accordance with Governor Hogan’s phased reopening plan. With guest spaces spread over several levels, the company’s fleet of luxurious vessels offer expansive decks inside and out, providing plentiful space and fresh air. For now, guests will have the use of the large outer decks only, which combined with reduced capacity, means there is more than enough room on board for everyone to stay safely apart.

To provide reassurance in the current pandemic environment, Hornblower has expanded its industry defining SafeCruise by Hornblower program, building on already stringent sanitation processes, to incorporate further health-driven measures to guard against the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.

Explaining the company’s preparations for welcoming guests back on board, Hornblower General Manager for Baltimore Chad Barth said: “We are proud of our excellent safety and sanitation track record and always operate and maintain a rigorous process around cleanliness and hygiene. So, while our guests can still expect the same high standards and welcoming service, we are adapting our amazing experiences to reflect the need for social distance, alongside elevated health and hygiene practices.”

Hornblower has reviewed every aspect of the guest experience journey and is taking all steps necessary to ensure the wellbeing of everyone on board. These include, but are not limited to:

• Mandatory daily crew member health screening, and wearing of appropriate PPE
• Herziening van de instap- en ticketprocedures om sociale afstand en touchless entry mogelijk te maken.
• Gasten moeten gezichtsmaskers dragen tijdens het varen, behalve tijdens het eten en drinken.
• Vermindering van het aantal gasten aan boord, en aanpassing van alle zitplaatsen en tafelafstanden om een minimumafstand van 2 meter tussen de gasten tijdens de vaart mogelijk te maken.
• Toepassing van verbeterde sanitaire en ontsmettingsprocedures, met overal beschikbare handontsmettingsstations.

Baltimore Cruise Experiences Resuming on June 6

On the one-hour Sightseeing cruise along the Patapsco River, guests can expect unparalleled views of the city alongside an engaging narration about Baltimore’s rich past as the vessel follows a leisurely route towards Fort McHenry. The Happy Hour cruise (5:30pm) takes in an hour-long sail around the Inner Harbor and includes beer, wine and juice in the ticket price.

Planned cruise departures:

• Friday: 4pm and 5:30pm
• Saturday & Sunday: 1pm, 2:30pm, 4pm & 5:30pm

Prices start at *$20.95 for the Sightseeing cruise, and *$28.95 for the Happy Hour cruise. A bar service offering range of refreshments and light bites will also be available for purchase on board. To reflect current requirements, guests will be served at their table.

For now, Hornblower will be offering a choice of Sightseeing and Happy Hour cruises and plans to resume its full range of experiences, including dining cruises and special events, when current restrictions are lifted. Baltimore is the company’s third port to reopen, joining San Diego and Newport Beach which also resumes operations on June 5.
