Here are some COVID FAQ from Journey Beyond.
Question: How are you keeping guests safe onboard?
Answer: Our JourneySafe plan is based on expert advice and implements enhanced cleaning and hygiene procedures while initiating new measures like physical distancing.
To accommodate physical distancing on the train, guests will be allocated specific meal times, as well as scheduled times to spend in communal spaces such as the Outback Explorer Lounge area.
Each cabin will have its own supply of hand sanitiser and wipes. There will be communal hand sanitiser in lounge areas and provided before getting on and off the train.
We are collecting all guests’ names and contact details to enable us to effectively contact trace if required.
We request guests do not move throughout all parts of the train and stick to their specific accommodation and dining carriages.
Question: How will physical distancing be managed onboard?
Answer: Guests will be allocated set times for meals and to spend in communal areas including the Outback Explorer Lounge and Platinum Club. When moving throughout the train, guests will be asked not to congregate in corridors, instead move into their cabin or the open end of the carriage to allow for safe passing.
Question: What are the Northern Territory’s border requirements?
There are no longer any State Border restrictions.
Question: What if I begin to feel sick?
Answer: If you begin to feel sick during your journey, our crew will do everything they can to look after you and other guests. You will be asked to quarantine if your cabin, where meals will be delivered and you will be frequently checked on by our staff.
Question: Will my experience be the same as it would have been before the pandemic?
Answer: The pandemic has meant we’ve had to make some adaptations to further protect people’s safety and wellbeing, however we’re confident your experience will be just as memorable. Our exceptional food, wine and beverages remain the same and you’ll be blown away by the freshly prepared meals our chefs create onboard.
We’re still offering the same included Off Train Excursions and have worked with our third-party providers to ensure they’re practising COVID-safe behaviour.
