Service notice - Revised Schedule May 24 - 27 - Adverse Weather

Posted:   Saturday, May 23, 2026

Issued: Saturday, May 23 at 5:00 pm

To ensure the safety of our customers and crew, the schedule for Prince Rupert - Skidegate (Haida Gwaii) sailings has been revised, as a result of Environment Canada’s severe weather forecast for high winds, and waves for the Hecate Strait.

If you have a booking on one of these affected sailings, our Customer Service Centre is in the process of contacting you to provide the modified departure time. Reminder - you are required to check-in 90 to 120 minutes prior to the departure time on the revised schedule.

We will be operating on the following revised schedule.
