In a press release issued on March 19, the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) introduced new boarding procedures for vessel in the fleet, ” to avoid disruptions to service or a situation involving passengers quarantined aboard ship.”
According to AHMS, travelers will be observed during the ticketing and boarding process. If a traveler exhibits symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or other flu-like illnesses, they will not be allowed to board and will receive a full refund.
AMHS states customers are able to cancel existing reservations without fees or penalties from now through April 8, 2020.
