Внедрение новых протоколов гигиены и обслуживания для обеспечения благополучия каждого человека
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
- Пересмотр процедур посадки и продажи билетов, чтобы обеспечить социальное дистанцирование и бесконтактный вход
- Требование к гостям носить маски для лица во время круиза, кроме как во время еды и питья
- Сокращение числа гостей на борту и адаптация всех мест для сидения и расстояния между столами, чтобы обеспечить минимальное расстояние в 6 футов между гостями во время круиза
- Внедрение усовершенствованных процедур санитарии и дезинфекции, с наличием станций дезинфекции рук во всех помещениях
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

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.
