So with winter on the way how are companies that offer things like luxury cruises going to be able to combat the virus if it hits one of their voyages?
Well the main thing they seem to be doing is cleaning every single part of the ship from top to bottom between each voyage. Of course they clean the ship anyway but now they seem to be spending a lot more time on everything and using more powerful cleaning products. If this step is done early on then nobody else is likely to catch the virus.
If the virus was to hit a ship mid voyage then there are thing in place that would start to happen. The infected are put into quarantine so that the rest of the ship is safe from getting the virus. The other thing that would be done is to stop the ship from letting any passengers off onto a destination to make sure that it doesn’t spread to the mainland. Although this could potentially ruin your holiday it is very unlikely to happen and your money would more than likely be returned to you so do not worry if you are about to book one of those Oceania cruises
So when booking your river cruises, do not worry about swine flu as everything that can be done to stop it, is being done. Of course there are chances you can still catch the virus but it is often not the companies fault, you just need to make sure you sneeze into tissues and do all the sensible things to prevent giving it to someone if you think you have it.
Other travel businesses such as airlines have also been cleaning a bit more to try and stop the spread of this virus to their passengers.
