Frequently asked questions

Can there be more than 50 people at a konference, kick-off or meeting?

Yes! Kick-offs, meetings and conferences are not considered a public gathering and are therefore exempt from the Public Order Act (which has a limit of 50 people). However, the Public Health authority still recommend that you assess potential risks prior to the event and carry out actions to reduce any risk involved.

Inform of general hygiene advice at site

How do you carry out a risk assessment?

The Swedish Public Health Authority has compiled a number of questions to assess the potential risk of the event. If you answer mostly YES to these questions the event should be cancelled, if the answers are mostly NO the event should be able to be carried out. If you answer YES to one question you should identify this as a potential risk and create a plan of action accordingly.

Tips for arranging a safer event onboard a boat during Corona

Here you can find our best tips for arranging safer meetings and events onboard a ship during Corona. When you charter a ship we can guarantee exclusivity and ensure that no other people than the staff working onboard have access to your event.

Guaranteed exclusivity onboard

Many boats have smaller salons so that the guests can be divided into smaller groups.
Many boats have outdoor decking that makes it possible to have some parts of the event outside.
Give all participants clear guidelines of what to do in the event of any symptoms of illness.
Tell all guests to wash their hands often and keep good distance.
