Our COVID-19 Response

Updated April 19, 2022

Our COVID-19 Reponse

The safety of our guests and staff is our #1 priority. We will continue to do our part to keep our guests, employees, and community safe and healthy during this time. As a locally-owned small business in Alaska we care deeply about the health of our community and our state. It is our passion to share the beauty of Alaska with our guests and we look forward to doing so this summer in the safest way possible.

MASK MANDATE: As of April 18, 2022 masks on transportation are no longer required. Masks will be optional while cruising. The CDC recommends that people continue to wear masks in indoor public transportation settings. 

STATE TRAVEL MANDATE: As of February 14, 2021, Alaska no longer requires a mandatory COVID-19 test for incoming travelers. Upon arrival to Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, all visitors have the option to receive a free COVID-19 test, it is encouraged but not mandatory. More information about current state travel mandates can be found here. Out of consideration for the health and safety of our employees, community, and state, we urge our guests to abide by State of Alaska travel mandates.

Changes to our Vessel Procedures

We have implemented the following updated procedures to ensure the safety of our guests and staff:

  • We are running boats that have the maximum amount of outdoor viewing space and number of tables to encourage social distancing.
  • We continue to maintain our high standard of cleanliness and implement additional cleaning procedures for commonly touched surfaces during the cruise.
  • We use disinfectants recommended by the CDC that are effective against COVID-19.
  • Hand sanitizer stations are available at our check-in office and on all vessels.
  • We have replaced the buffet-style meal service on our 6 Hour Cruise with a complimentary pre-packaged deli style lunch.
  • Plexiglas has been added around the meal service and check-in areas for added protection.
  • Reusable boarding passes have been replaced with single-use tickets to reduce risk of virus transfer between guests and staff.
  • Seating: in order for parties to be seated together on our cruises, there is a possibility of sharing a table with another party.

What you can do to ensure the safety of others:

  • Guests are required by the CDC to wear face masks while inside our vessels at all times except when eating or drinking. Masks are not required on the outer decks. We will have masks available for guests who do not have their own masks.
  • Advanced reservations are strongly suggested since we are limiting capacity on our vessels.
  • Although cash will be accepted, we are encouraging credit card payments using our contactless scanners.
  • We request that only one member of each party enter the building to check-in.
  • Guests are urged to frequently wash/sanitize their hands and respect social distancing guidelines throughout the cruise.
  • If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and isolate yourself from others.  Masks are strongly encouraged for those who are not fully vaccinated.
