介绍 新的卫生和服务规程，确保每个人的福祉
Washington D.C., June 22, 2020 – Hornblower Cruises and Events confirms it will be re-starting it’s Washington DC dining cruise operation from Saturday, June 27 onwards. The news follows on the recent resumption of the company’s popular Potomac Water Taxi service on June 19. With guest spaces spread over several levels, the company’s fleet of luxurious vessels offer expansive decks inside and out, providing plentiful space and fresh air. Combined with reduced capacity, there is more than enough room on board for everyone to stay safely apart.
To provide reassurance in the current pandemic environment, Hornblower has expanded its industry defining SafeCruise by Hornblower program, building on already stringent sanitation processes, to incorporate further health-driven measures to guard against the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
Explaining the company’s preparations for welcoming guests back on board, Mary Rinaldo, regional vice president of Hornblower Cruises and Events said: “We are proud of our excellent safety and sanitation track record and always operate and maintain a rigorous process around cleanliness and hygiene. So, while our guests can still expect the same high standards and welcoming service, we are adapting our amazing experiences to reflect the need for social distance, alongside elevated health and hygiene practices.”
