BC FERRIES EXTRA HOLIDAY SAILINGS

BC FERRIES ADDS HOLIDAY SEASON SAILINGS

BC Ferries is pleased to announce that it will offer more than 120 extra sailings between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to meet increased traffic demands over the holiday season.

Between December 20 and January 6, one hundred extra sailings will be added between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay, and twenty-two extra trips will be provided between Horseshoe Bay Departure Bay.

Traditionally, December 26 and 27 are the busiest days for ferry travel over the holidays. For customers intent on sailing at specific times, reservations are recommended, particularly on these two days.

Meanwhile, BC Ferries will offer its popular Coast Saver fares on all sailings between Tsawwassen and Duke Point, every day from December 19 though January 6. During this period, customers will be able to save $5 per passenger and $15 per underheight vehicle. Coast Saver fares are also available on the 7 am and 9 am Sunday sailings between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay. All told, that’s over 275 sailings with an opportunity to save this holiday season.

Please note that on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, sailings will be reduced on some routes to reflect the traditionally lower traffic volumes.
