Creator's Key Takeaways

Lindblad Expeditions is once again giving passengers the same three sentence response that tells you almost nothing about what is actually happening.

Is the cleaning protocol being implemented between sailings genuinely sufficient to eliminate the pathogen from the vessel's environment?

Hand sanitizer alone is not sufficient. Norovirus is specifically resistant to alcohol-based sanitizers in a way that most passengers do not know.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wash hands with soap and water before every meal and after contact with shared surfaces.

✓Avoid self-service at shared food stations; request staff-served portions instead.

✓Report to the medical center immediately if you feel unwell rather than managing symptoms in your cabin.

✓Check the CDC VSP inspection database for your specific ship before boarding.

Effectiveness of cleaning — Check the CDC VSP inspection database to see the ship's actual sanitation history.

Preventing illness — Use soap and water instead of hand sanitizer, as norovirus is resistant to alcohol.
