Healthy & Safety Protocols
We have updated our health and safety protocols effective from 12 September 2024.
Onboard, you will be tested if you present with any COVID-19 symptoms, are a close contact with a passenger who has tested positive for COVID-19, or upon request.
In the event that you test positive for COVID-19 onboard, you will be required to wear a mask for a period of 5 days. Close contacts will be closely monitored for 5 days and encouraged to wear a mask during this period.
AE Expeditions highly recommends that all passengers have an Influenza vaccine prior to travel.
All health and safety protocols are subject to change and may vary due to local regulations in the countries visited.
