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
