Avalon Waterways Health & Safety Protocols

Avalon Waterways is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and seamless river cruising experience. Operating a fleet of intimate ships with an average capacity of just 150 guests, their health and safety measures emphasize advanced onboard cleanliness, personal accountability, and strict compliance with global maritime standards.

• Stateroom Fresh Air: The climate control systems inside all Avalon Suite Ships ensure that air is never re-circulated between staterooms. Every cabin receives a continuous supply of fresh, outside air to maintain high indoor air quality.
• Enhanced Sanitation: Rigorous cleaning protocols are performed before and during every voyage. This includes the utilization of advanced electrostatic and ultraviolet (UV) disinfecting technologies alongside the hourly deep-cleaning of high-touch public areas.
• Crew Health Monitoring: All onboard crew members undergo a rigorous medical screening process before commencing their contracts. Their health status is continuously monitored throughout the sailing season to protect the onboard environment.
• Illness Management: Guests who feel unwell for any reason are encouraged to monitor their symptoms, isolate if necessary, or wear a mask. The shipboard operations team maintains active protocols to assist any passenger requiring off-ship medical attention or local clinic references.
• Destination Compliance: While universal testing and vaccine mandates have concluded, all travelers and crew members are required to strictly adhere to the localized health and safety rules enforced by the individual ports and countries visited along the river cruise itinerary.
