Health & Safety – COVID-19 Protocols

WE’VE TAKEN CAREFUL MEASURES

so you can travel without worry.

As an experienced traveler you are well informed, prepared, and mindful. Kosher River Cruises approaches every cruise with that same thorough diligence. Stringent security and sanitation protocols onboard our riverboats are nothing new to the operators we partner with. They not only remain our top priorities but are being escalated as we face the current challenge. As we learn more from Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) we will look to adopt their health and safety recommendations and continue to update for your added peace of mind. 

Health and safety assurance—always a priority for your cruise experience
