Enhanced Covid Health Protocols
Tauck Care and Global Response
Keeping our guests safe and secure has always been of paramount importance at Tauck. While we cannot predict or prevent events outside of our control, we have learned to expect the unexpected. In fact, we've planned for it and have safeguards, protocols and teams in place to deal with any eventualities. You'll travel with a comprehensive, built-in support system that starts with the care and local knowledge of our Tauck Directors and extends to our network of partners around the world, including hoteliers and transportation companies.
Our Global Response Team stands ready to respond to situations around the world. Over the past two decades, they have successfully led us through a variety of challenges around the world, from weather events, high and low water on rivers, work stoppages and more. We are well prepared for Covid. We provide assurance and comfort in knowing that help is readily available if and when it's ever needed.
Small Ship Cruising:
Tauck has worked closely with our supplier partners around the world to deliver the comfort and safety you expect. The following are just some of the enhanced protocols we have put in place for Covid to provide you with the peace of mind you expect:
• Regular health screenings, face coverings worn in public gatherings, even more rigorous cleaning and sanitation measures in public spaces and staterooms
• More intimate and private dining, with seatings that limit the number of guests at one time
• Crowd-free lounge areas and activities, on and off the ship, geared for small group advantages
• Ship staff and crew trained in the latest protocols, prepared for any eventuality, and well supported to take the necessary steps to ensure your comfort and safety
• On every cruise, two medical professionals will be onboard the ship 24 hours a day, arrival to departure.
These protocols may vary by destination and will evolve over time. Please check for the latest updates at tauck.com/travel-updates
