B.C. Ferries is adding 40 extra sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Vancouver Island this holiday season, from Dec. 18 to Jan. 3, 2016.
Dec. 23 and 27 are expected to be the busiest days for B.C. Ferries as people travel to and from their Christmas Day destinations.
While arriving early at peak times is often recommended, B.C. Ferries is suggesting their patrons pick an off-peak sailing time as an alternative strategy, or make a reservation.
Walk-on travellers are being advised that pay parking lots at the major terminals such as Horseshoe Bay may reach capacity during the Christmas season, so they should consider getting a ride or taking public transit.
B.C. Ferries has forecasted busy sailings for the major routes and posted a schedule on its website. On Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, sailings will be reduced on some routes due to traditionally low demand. For holiday schedule details, visit bcferries.com.
