Health & Safety Protocols

We have updated our health and safety protocols effective from 1st October 2023.

Aurora requires expeditioners to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel. If you are unvaccinated, your participation on an expedition is subject to a medical review. 

In the event that any passenger was to test positive for COVID-19 onboard, we will require a 5-day isolation period in your cabin on the vessel.

Aurora 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.

Proof of insurance will be required ahead of travel and we will require that it be emailed to Aurora no later than 60 days prior to departure. For Australians, we recommend NIB Travel insurance.

OnBoard

Aurora Expeditions has further enhanced all cleaning and sanitisation procedures on board. All of our crew are extensively trained in the latest public health sanitation methods and will wear suitable PPE (Personal Protection Equipment).

If you happen to test positive onboard for COVID-19, you will be required to isolate in your cabin for 5 days. Close contacts will undergo a period of isolation for 24 hours and will be released following a negative test result.

Clean Expedition Ships

The frequency of cleaning and sanitisation has been increased in all public spaces with an emphasis on high touch surfaces and spaces including elevators, handrails, public furniture and fitness equipment, as well as intensive cleaning of cabins with disinfectants with proven effectiveness. All vessels will undergo extensive cleaning in between voyages in accordance with COVID-19 Controls & Prevention protocols.
