ANNOUNCEMENT

Our COVID-19 Response

Updated October 6, 2020

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.

STATE TRAVEL MANDATE: All out of state visitors are required to arrive in the state with a negative COVID-19 test taken within the last 72 hours. If you have taken a test within 72 hours of arrival but have not received your results, you must quarantine until you receive your results. If you were unable to take a test prior to arrival, you can take a test at the airport for $250 and quarantine until you receive results. All results must be submitted via the Alaska Travel Portal. More information about current state travel mandates can be found here. Out of consideration for the health and safety or our employees, community, and state, we urge our guests to abide by State of Alaska travel mandates.

OUR BOAT OPERATIONS - NOW BOOKING 2021

Our 2020 cruise season has come to an end, and we will be spending the winter months continuing to update and improve our COVID-19 safety practices to coincide with state mandates and recommendations from the CDC. Please visit our All Cruises Page for our 2021 cruise schedule.

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 have implement additional cleaning procedures for commonly touched surfaces during the cruise.
  • We use disinfectants recommended by the CDC that are effective against COVID-19.
  • We are installing antimicrobial SafeHandles sleeves to commonly-touched surfaces like door handles, sink handles, and toilet flushers. 
  • 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.
  • All staff and crew members are required to wear face masks in public places and while inside our vessels.
  • Our captains and crew will take their temperatures before each shift.
  • Reusable boarding passes have been replaced with single-use tickets to reduce risk of virus transfer between guests and staff.
  • Check-in lines are marked off with tape to ensure proper social distancing of 6 feet between parties.
  • Binoculars will be available to borrow for your cruise at the check-in desk. We will provide one set of binoculars per party. Binoculars will be disinfected after each cruise and will sit for 72 hours before going back in to use. 

What you can do to ensure the safety of others:

  • Guests are required by the City of Seward to wear face masks in public buildings, including our check-in office and hotel public areas. Face masks are also required while inside our vessels at all times except when eating or drinking. 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.
