Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Azzurro Travel is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards across our website and the services we offer. We believe great travel should be available to every client, and that begins with how we make our services available to them in the first place.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Our website is designed to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We regularly audit our pages and address accessibility findings as part of our ongoing development process. Some content may not yet fully meet this standard, and we are working actively to address known gaps.

Accessibility Features of This Website

• Keyboard navigation: all interactive elements (links, buttons, forms, menus) can be reached and operated using a keyboard alone.
• Semantic structure: pages use proper headings, landmarks, and labels so screen readers can announce content meaningfully.
• Image alternatives: images convey their purpose through alt text, with decorative images marked accordingly.
• Form labels: every form field has a visible label and an accessible name, with required fields clearly indicated.
• Color contrast: text is designed to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios. Information is never conveyed by color alone.
• Responsive design: pages adapt to different screen sizes and orientations, including mobile devices and zoomed views up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
• Reduced motion: animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting in your operating system, so motion is minimized for users who prefer it.
• ARIA attributes: dynamic content uses ARIA roles, states, and properties where needed to communicate context to assistive technologies.

Accessible Travel Planning

Beyond our website, our travel consultants are experienced in arranging trips that meet a wide range of accessibility needs. When you work with us, we can:

• Coordinate wheelchair-accessible hotel rooms, transfers, and tours.
• Arrange mobility-assisted airport service, including wheelchair assistance through TSA, gate-checked equipment, and pre-boarding.
• Book cruise cabins designed for guests with disabilities, with adequate door widths, roll-in showers, and shore-excursion accessibility verified in advance.
• Reserve accessible ground transportation (wheelchair vans, accessible private cars).
• Communicate dietary restrictions and allergens to chefs, caterers, and onboard culinary teams.
• Arrange in-room visual or tactile alert systems for guests who are Deaf or hard of hearing, where available.
• Coordinate with service-animal documentation requirements for international travel.

If you have a specific need we haven't listed here, please ask. Our team will do everything possible to plan a trip that works for you.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our site may still present challenges:

• Some third-party content (such as embedded video) may not be fully accessible. We work with vendors to improve this where we can.
• Older PDF documents may not be fully tagged for screen readers. If you encounter one, contact us and we will provide an accessible alternative.
• Some interactive demonstrations and gallery features rely on JavaScript and may behave differently when JavaScript is disabled.

Feedback and Help

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website and services. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, or need help completing a booking in a way that works for you, please reach out. We respond within two business hours during regular office hours, and we will provide the requested information through an accessible channel as soon as we can.

Assessment and Ongoing Improvement

Azzurro Travel reviews accessibility through a combination of automated testing tools, manual review (including keyboard-only and screen-reader testing), and ongoing developer education. We treat accessibility as an integral part of our design and development process, not an afterthought, and we continue to expand our practices as guidelines evolve.

Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following technologies:

• Recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop.
• Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android, including with VoiceOver and TalkBack screen readers.
• Screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.

Older browsers and assistive technologies may experience reduced functionality.

This statement reflects our current accessibility practices and will be updated as our work continues. Azzurro Travel, Inc. is committed to ongoing improvement in this area.
