Introducing New Hygiene and Service Protocols to Ensure the Wellbeing of Everyone
Marina del Rey, June 8, 2020 – Hornblower Cruises and Events will be restarting its Marina del Rey operations on Saturday, June 13, offering a limited choice of seated public and group dining cruises in accordance with Governor Newsom’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. Combined with reduced guest capacity and changes to seating layout, guests can easily maintain the minimum 6-foot distance. 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.
“We welcome the opportunity to restart and are well prepared to welcome our guests back on board,” said Kevin Lorton, Hornblower’s Regional Vice President for Southern California. “At Hornblower, 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
- Sửa đổi quy trình lên máy bay và bán vé để cho phép cách ly giao tiếp xã hội và nhập cảnh không chạm
- Yêu cầu khách đeo khẩu trang khi đi du thuyền, trừ khi ăn uống
- Reducing the number of guests on board, and adapting table spacing to allow for a minimum 6-foot distance between guests while they dine
- Thực hiện các quy trình vệ sinh và khử trùng nâng cao, với các trạm khử trùng tay có sẵn trong toàn bộ
