Avalon Waterways Health & Safety Protocols
Avalon Waterways is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and seamless river cruising experience. Operating intimate ships averaging 150 guests, health and safety measures emphasize onboard cleanliness, personal accountability, and compliance with global maritime standards.
- Stateroom Fresh Air: Climate control systems inside Avalon Suite Ships ensure air is not re-circulated between staterooms. Every cabin receives a continuous supply of fresh outside air to maintain indoor air quality.
- Enhanced Sanitation: Cleaning protocols before and during voyages utilize disinfecting technologies alongside hourly deep-cleaning of high-touch public areas.
- Crew Health Monitoring: Onboard crew members undergo medical screening before contracts and continuous wellness monitoring throughout the sailing season.
- Illness Management: Guests feeling unwell are encouraged to monitor symptoms, isolate as needed, or utilize protective gear. Shipboard operations teams maintain protocols for off-ship medical attention or local clinic references.
- Destination Compliance: While universal testing mandates have concluded, travelers and crew observe localized health and safety rules enforced by individual ports and countries visited along the river itinerary.
