Introducing New Hygiene and Service Protocols to Ensure the Wellbeing of Everyone
Norfolk, June 11, 2020 – Spirit of Norfolk by Hornblower Cruises and Events will be back cruising the Elizabeth River from Friday, June 19, offering a choice of public and group dining cruises in accordance with Governor Northam’s phased reopening plan. With guest spaces spread over several levels, local landmark Spirit of Norfolk features expansive decks inside and out, providing plentiful space and fresh air. Combined with reduced capacity, 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 Norfolk Jolene Price-Thompson 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
- Kurekebisha taratibu za bweni na tiketi ili kuruhusu umbali wa kijamii na kuingia bila kugusa
- Kuwataka wageni kuvaa barakoa wakati wa kusugua, isipokuwa wakati wa kula na kunywa
- Reducing the number of guests on board, and adapting table spacing to allow for a minimum 6-foot distance between guests while they dine
- Buffet stations will feature a protective shield, while an attendant will assist and serve each guest. Single-use menus will be provided on every cruise and discarded (recycled) afterwards.
- Utekelezaji wa taratibu zilizoimarishwa za usafi wa mazingira na utoaji wa dawa, na vituo vya kutakasa mikono vinapatikana kote
