Lunch & Dinner Charters

In order to maintain our commitment to health and safety, we have implemented the following:

Each passenger will be asked to declare that they are healthy.
Masking is optional, and we do not ask passengers to show proof of vaccination.
Onboard we are maintaining enhanced sanitation, plastic shields in service areas, plus various other safety measures including regular cleaning of all passenger facilities.
Meal services on all cruises may be plated, or buffet style. Please read the cruise menu.
Passengers on the Native are asked to use the passageway around the ship in a clockwise direction and also not to block the passageway for extended periods of time, because all our passengers love the view of the Fraser River & Coastal mountains.
Passengers on the BetaStar must remain seated unless given permission by staff to move.
Please ask our staff if you need any further details.
