HEALTH PROTOCOLS
The health and well-being of passengers and crew is our highest priority. The smaller, more intimate size of the Elysium is on its own an assurance of a higher safety level. Due to Covid-19, we are taking additional steps and applying even more rigorous cleaning and disinfecting protocols.
We are actively following all Word Health Organization updates regarding Covid-19 and adjust our strategies accordingly, to ensure we meet the latest guidance of hygiene and cleaning.
These are some of the measures applied on board the Elysium.
All passengers required to have a PCR COVID-19 test not more than 72 hours prior to depar-
ture (not required for fully vaccinated passengers)
All crew undergo rapid COVID-19 testing prior to every cruise departure.
Crew members are monitored daily for good health and always wear face masks
Daily UV sterilization of all staterooms and public areas
Use of approved disinfecting cleaning products effective against viruses
Strict cleaning and disinfecting protocols are also applied “behind the scenes” in areas like the
kitchen, laundry room, crew quarters
Air management, enhanced filters and other technologies are applied where feasible to en-
sure fresh air circulation
