Sail safe

For almost 60 years, it’s been our passion to care for our customers by putting safety first and ensuring everyone feels welcome. Today, this is more important than ever, and we are committed to offering you a safe and sustainable journey – with lots of space, fresh air and open seas.

An even safer journey

For everyone’s safety and wellbeing, we’ve introduced new measures to the already ambitious safety standards onboard all our vessels and at our ports and terminals. We’re actively monitoring the development of the COVID-19 situation. By doing so, we can ensure routines are continuously updated and our safety standards exceed current regulations – so you can sail with confidence.

Before Travelling

Preparing

Inform yourself about our safety measures regarding hygiene and social distancing – we are promoting and communicating them through all our communication channels.
Do not travel if you are sick and if you’re feeling unwell.
Follow your national health guidelines and travel restrictions.
Wash your hands frequently and respect social distancing.

At the terminal

Safe check-in

Our terminals feature increased opportunities for hand wash and disinfection and are also more frequently cleaned, especially “Hand Contact Point Hotspots”.
Card payment instead of cash is encouraged wherever possible.
You will find our sales points equipped with Plexi-Glass protection.
Our food service has been adjusted to ensure the maximum level of hygiene.

Embarkation and disembarkation

Secure onboarding and offboarding

When checking in, you will be asked to state your health condition. Passengers with any indication of suspected COVID-19 will be denied boarding.
Social distancing is encouraged by floor markings across our ferries and terminals, and reminders are being announced over the public address system.

This is a safety measure to combat the spread of COVID-19.
