B.C. Ferries is adding more sailings on two routes connecting Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island in preparation for a busy travel period over the Easter long weekend.
From March 29 to April 3, B.C. Ferries will add 62 sailings to the Tsawassen – Swartz Bay route and 12 sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay. Another six sailings have also been added to the Horseshoe Bay – Langdale route.
B.C. Ferries expects that the busiest times will be midday on Thursday, March 29 to late in the morning on Friday, March 30 with most travellers returning home in the afternoon on Monday, April 2.
“A reservation is always a good idea if they’re traveling on a major route and I would also suggest to give yourself some extra time even if you’re traveling as a foot passenger,” said Deborah Marshall, the company’s executive director of public affairs.
The company has posted a calendar on its website that shows which sailings are expected to be busier than others.
