Covid Policy – Yoga & Sail Cruise

Payment

To reserve your spot, we kindly ask for a deposit of 50% of the total value. The remainder will be paid 15 days before the retreat. You will receive a reminder email a few days before the second payment is due.

Please send us an email to [email protected] if you’d like to reserve your spot and we’ll send you through the details.

Normal Cancellation

If cancelled up to 4 weeks prior to retreat begin, we refund 100% of the full amount minus the booking and management fee of 150€ which can be used as a credit for another retreat at any time in the future. If cancelled any time after this we will unfortunately need to retain 50% of the overall retreat value, as expenses will have occurred.


If for any reason we need to cancel the trip on our side you will of course receive 100% refund. We do not cover any expenses occured outside of the retreat price.

Pre-boarding isolation

These measures include avoiding large gatherings of people in enclosed areas, and avoiding high risk areas and countries as defined by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Compliance to COVID-19 policy

All guests will be required to follow the standard operating procedures onboard; these include the onboard COVID-19 screening, sanitation and separation measures. You will be required to sign a policy acceptance form before boarding. Any guest or crew not complying fully to these guidelines at any point during the voyage may be required to disembark at the first available port at their own cost.

Screening

All guests will be required to have their temperature taken prior to boarding and regularly throughout the voyage

Face masks

Masks should be worn when moving around communal areas inside the ship

Sanitization

All guests will be required to sanitize hands and shoes before boarding

Alcohol gel will be placed at the entrance to all communal areas and on deck, and we ask all guests and crew aboard to sanitize regularly

All surfaces and handrails will be sanitized twice daily

Voyage alterations

If COVID-19 related travel restrictions prevent us from stopping in certain ports we will do our best to plan alternative port stops within the existing voyage plan.

Travel insurance

We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance to protect you from any losses stemming from unforeseeable circumstances during your voyage. Please check with your insurance provider that your policy will cover COVID-19 related illness and repatriation.
