We plan to sail according to already published schedules for 2021. In general, we follow all guidelines distributed by Norwegian health authorities related to Covid-19. This will include changes as the guidelines change.
Here, you cas read about how we organize infection control onboard our ships.
Social distancing
A very important part of infection control is about social distancing. Our crew members do their best to maintain a social distance to each other and to all guests.
Nevertheless, it remains important that all guests watch their distance, especially by embarkation and disembarkation.
The boats will sail with fewer passengers than normal in order to give everyone the opportunity to keep social distance on board.
Hand hygiene
We urge everyone to watch their hand hygiene. All toilets on board have running water and soap. As a supplement we have installed hand sanitizer dispenders in multiple lacations on board. Always wash or desinfect your hands when embarking, after a visit to the WC and before food service.
If you do not have a paper towel available, make sure you cough or sneeze in your elbow.
Facemasks
We advice all our passengers to carry with them a facemask in case of local or national regulations on the time of travel. this includes daytravellers as well as those who have booked accommodations together with a boat trip.
NB! On buses it is mandatory to wear a facemask. Those of our passengers who have bougth a trip which includes a busride must therefore bring a facemask and wear it on board the bus.
Cleaning
We have increased cleaning frequency of all contact surface areas like door handles and other areas that are frequently touched.
Illness and quarantine
If you show symptoms of any kind of disease, do not travel. General feeling of illness like fever, sore throat, running nose, headache or heavy breathing all indicate you should remain where you are and see as few people as possible.
If you have been quarantined, you are not allowed onboard the canal boats and should not travel at all.
Contact us - and we will try to find a solution for you, e.g. postpone your trip to a later time.
