​Dear Guests,

At CRETAN DAILY CRUISES (Chania) and at CHRISSI DAILY CRUISES (Lasithi), we are entirely focused on the experience of our guests and our priority is the health and safety of all our guests and employees. To this direction, we would like to inform you that we have taken all the necessary additional measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and we follow the official instructions issued by the World Health Organization in consultation with the Ministry of Health of Greece.

All our office staff, our crew and our partners have received specific prevention guidelines, as well as guidelines on the actions which they are required to follow should symptoms of illness occur.

Our vessels’ crew are duly trained on health and hygiene issues and have received all specialized guidance by the Authorities on the necessary precautionary measures against Covid-19; at the same time, they have been fully instructed on how to handle any suspected case on board, in cooperation with the Authorities.

Our vessels are furnished with the appropriate equipment (masks, gloves, special kits); special places have been made available on each vessel, in order to isolate any individual incident, ensuring the safety of passengers and crew.

All our vessels are equipped with antiseptic solution for the personal hygiene of passengers and crew.

Cleaning and purification of the air conditioning units, our vessels and of our building premises have been intensified and our staff have been trained to regularly disinfect all areas, with the use of the indicated by the Authorities products.

During voyage, our crew members make frequent announcements and recommendations for maintaining the necessary distances among passengers during their stay in internal or external areas of the vessels and to prevent overcrowding during their disembarkation from the vessel.

We have duly instructed our employees to abstain from in-person meetings or unnecessary transportations and we have communicated to all our employees, at sea and ashore, the need not only for social responsibility, a top priority for us since years, but also for personal responsibility.

All of us in CRETAN DAILY CRUISES and CHRISSI DAILY CRUISES, each one personally, assure you that we will do our utmost to ensure your safety, our safety, the safety of our families and of our society as a whole.

We kindly ask you for your understanding, your cooperation, and your compliance with the guidelines of the Greek State and of the Authorities, in order, without hindrances, to enjoy our magnificent excursions.
