AVALON Waterways plans to safeguard travellers with new pre-trip health & safety measures, including proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or a negative test result, in order to join its river cruises.
The protocols have been handed down by Avalon’s parent company Globus, and will require travellers to offer proof of COVID-19 vaccination at least 14 days prior to travel, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of travel, or proof of recovery from a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis within three months of travel.
In addition to unveiling new COVID-19 parameters required at the start of each holiday departure, Globus has announced it will facilitate and cover additional COVID-19 testing, if required, for guests to return to their home country, as well as tests on the trip if guests show symptoms.
The new protocols will take effect in Apr, with Globus now also offering guests more payment flexibility, shortening the final payment window for all brands to 45 days prior to departure.
