Our team is trained in disability equality and inclusive communication, ensuring that all passengers feel supported and valued. Crew members are available to provide assistance and address individual needs throughout the journey. - Clear and Inclusive Information:
We provide clear, accessible information about our services through digital displays in our booking office and online platforms, allowing passengers to plan their journey with ease and confidence. - Emergency and Disruption Procedures:
We have robust plans in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers during emergencies or disruptions. Our crew is trained to prioritize the needs of passengers with reduced mobility during evacuations or other unexpected situations. - Minimizing Barriers:
We regularly review and audit our vessels and operations to identify and reduce barriers to accessibility, ensuring continuous improvement in line with evolving best practices.
At Skellig Michael Cruises, we believe that every passenger deserves a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience. We remain committed to fostering inclusivity, safeguarding the natural beauty of Skellig Michael, and upholding the highest standards of service for all who travel with us.
