Fit to Travel
All expeditioners will be required to obtain a ‘Fit to Travel’ certification from their doctor before travelling with us, within 3 months of travel, which outlines any pre-existing medical conditions.
Pre-Boarding Questionnaire
Expeditioners will be required to complete two questionnaires - 72 hours before departing for your trip and another before boarding. Those travelling from/through known high risk COVID-19 affected areas or with acute illness will be denied boarding.
Temperature Checks
Thermal infra-red scanners will be used to check temperatures for all expeditioners and crew prior to boarding and during the voyage.
Influenza Testing
Influenza testing will be available for all expeditioners and crew as required.
COVID-19 Testing
Aurora Expeditions has installed on board the latest Point of Care diagnostic equipment which allows rapid testing of all expeditioners with high levels of accuracy.
All expeditioners will be asked to undertake a pre-voyage medical screening with a GP seven days prior to the voyage departure, and then as much as is possible, expeditioners are asked to self-isolate and limit social interaction from that screening until boarding the vessel. Expeditioners must also undertake a COVID-19 test 72 hours before embarkation and present proof of a negative result. On the day of embarkation, all expeditioners will be required to undergo another COVID-19 test, as well as additional health screening.
Once the voyage starts, there will be daily temperature checks for all on board and further testing may be required depending on the voyage. In the event an expeditioner presents with COVID-19 like symptoms, the person will be isolated and tested immediately for COVID-19.
