Multi-Year Accessibility Plan
Statement of Commitment

Alcatraz Cruises is committed to providing employees and guests with a safe, secure and respectful environment to work and visit. We believe in integration and equal opportunity. We dedicate ourselves to creating amazing experiences for all our guests and strive to meet the needs of those with disabilities. We will do this by preventing and removing barriers to meet requirements under the Accessibility with Disabilities Act.

Training

Alcatraz Cruises will provide Accessibility Standards for Customer Service training to all employees. New employees will be trained during New Hire Orientation upon commencement of employment. Alcatraz Cruises will maintain a record of the training that includes the date of completion and the names of employees involved.

Accessible Emergency Information

Alcatraz Cruises is committed to providing our customers with publicly available emergency information. Accessible formats and communication supports for persons with disabilities will be provided upon request in a timely manner that takes into account the person’s accessibility needs. We will provide employees who have disabilities with individualized emergency response information when necessary.

Information and Communication

Alcatraz Cruises is committed to making our information and communications accessible to persons with disabilities.

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for customers with disabilities, Alcatraz Cruises will notify our customers promptly by posting a notice that includes the reason for the disruption and its anticipated length of time.

Alcatraz Cruises has established a Quality Management Program in which customer feedback allows for multiple types of communication such as Comment Cards, Social Media, Tour Operator Feedback, and Web Surveys. The data gathered from these sources enable us to determine accessibility gaps and take prompt action to resolve issues. We will ensure our program is accessible to people with disabilities by providing, or arranging for the provision, of accessible formats and communication supports upon request.

Kiosks

Alcatraz Cruises will take the necessary steps to ensure employees consider the needs of people with disabilities when designing, procuring, or acquiring self-service kiosks.
