Celli, CEO of BioHiTech. “Passengers and crew can feel more at ease when common areas and cabins are regularly disinfected to a hospital-grade level. When combined with other safety protocols, SeaDream is creating a road map for others in the industry to follow to help bring back this important industry and we look forward to being a part of it.”
