Alcatraz Cruises to restart Alcatraz Island tours

Monday, 11 Mar, 2021 0

Alcatraz Cruises announced it will resume ferry service operations to Alcatraz Island next week.

Beginning on Monday, 15 March 2021, the Island will be open to the public for visits and day tours.

Additionally, the Alcatraz Cellhouse reopens for the first time since closing over a year ago due to Covid-19. Tickets are on sale now at www.alcatrazcruises.com.

"We are thrilled to welcome back guests to Alcatraz Island aboard our Alcatraz Cruises fleet and are excited that both locals and tourists alike will be able to once again experience our city’s iconic landmark," said Antonette Sespene, assistant general manager of Alcatraz Cruises.

In conjunction with the reopening of the Alcatraz Cellhouse—which was once home to Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly—tour options will also include the official Cellhouse Audio Tour.

Visitor experiences have been adapted to ensure heightened cleanliness and to maintain social distance onboard both the ferry and on the Island.

Hornblower has expanded its SafeCruise by Hornblower program, which include the wearing of appropriate PPE for daily crew members, revised boarding and ticketing to ensure social distancing and touchless entry, and all wearing face masks while cruising.

There will be limited capacity on ferries and enhanced disinfection procedures, with hand sanitizing stations available throughout.
