Guest Crew must acknowledge reading this policy prior to joining
Pride of Baltimore II (the “ship”). If you have any questions relating to this policy, please
contact Erica Denner.
Pride of Baltimore, Inc. (“Pride”) seeks to create the safest possible experience for guest crew. While the ship serves a transportation function, it also serves as a home for the liveaboard crew. Crew members strictly adhere to COVID-19 protocols to reduce possible transmission of the virus on and around the ship. This includes precautions taken by crew members prior to joining the ship at the start of the sailing season, increased shipboard sanitation, a requirement that all on board the ship maintain a high standard of hygiene, and a requirement that all crew be fully vaccinated, not just for their own safety, but also for the safety of their shipmates. Pride recognizes that adherence to additional safety measures will help to minimize the possibility of the crew and guests of the ship contracting or spreading COVID-19. To that end, for the 2023 sailing season:
1. Pride recommends that guest crew have received a complete dosage of an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or FDA approved vaccine prior to joining the ship, as well as the recommended booster shots (if eligible per CDC guidelines);
2.ALL guest crew, regardless of vaccination status, must have a negative COVID test within 24 hours of boarding the ship;
3. If any guest crew test positive within 24 hours of boarding the ship, they will not be allowed to board the ship and any guest crew fees paid to Pride will be refunded;
4. Guest crew agree to comply with all COVID-related rules, restrictions, orders, and/or regulations imposed by any local governments, municipalities, ports, or cities where the ship calls
