BC Ferries Adds Sailings For Summer

BC Ferries Adds More Sailings
For Remainder of Summer

Starting with the B.C. Day long weekend, BC Ferries is adding even more sailings on its two busiest routes right through to Labour Day.

For the month of August, extra sailings are being added from both Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay at 8 pm and 10 pm on Fridays and Sundays. In addition, extra sailings are schedule on the Horseshoe Bay – Departure Bay route on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

BC Ferries posts on its website a calendar of historically busy long weekend travel times for its major routes. This calendar is a tool customers can use when they are planning their ferry trips.

If passengers desire a specific sailing as part of their travel plans, BC Ferries recommends making a reservation for the Lower Mainland – Vancouver Island, and Horseshoe Bay – Langdale routes. Reservation space can become fully subscribed on long weekends so BC Ferries advises to book in advance.

BC Ferries reminds customers its mid-week CoastSaver fares are currently offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from now through September 3. Pay just $39 for a car and driver one-way on the three major routes between Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
