Busy weekend expected
BC Day long weekend is the busiest weekend of the year for ferry travel on the coast. Our major routes between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island are expected to be at or near capacity for vehicles during peak times.
Be prepared for sailing waits if a booking has not been made in advance of travel. Depending on when you arrive, there may be limited or no space available for drive-up vehicles. Check Current Conditions before leaving for the terminal for the latest sailing and capacity information, and check Service Notices for operational updates.
If your plans are flexible, consider taking transit and travel as a foot passenger. Walk-on bookings are available on our major routes at no additional cost and are recommended to help secure your preferred sailing. BC Day long weekend travel tips can be found here.
Our fleet and terminal facilities offer a range of high-visibility advertising opportunities that connect brands with millions of travellers each year. Through our partners, Certified Folder Display Service and Pattison Outdoor Advertising, opportunities include digital screens, kiosks, brochures, magazines, static signage, posters, and other out-of-home media placements.
