Cruise Ship Accessibility Consulting

Building One supports cruise lines and design teams to integrate accessibility into every phase of a ship’s lifecycle. This is accomplished through considering ADA requirements from design and construction through dry dock retrofits. Our consulting services not only help our clients meet their legal obligations under the ADA, but mitigates the risk of costly lawsuits, construction rework, and reputational harm. Accessibility isn’t just a code requirement, it’s a critical design consideration that, when planned proactively, will help protect your brand, control your project costs, and will ensure all guests have an equitable experience onboard.
