“Our latest promotion starts in time for the Victoria Day long weekend so our customers can take advantage of deep discounts on select sailings over the weekend,” said Janet Carson, BC Ferries’ vice president of marketing and travel services. “The Sunrise and Sunset Savings promotion gives travelers choice of fare price if they have flexibility in their travel plans and allows greater space availability for other customers during the rest of the day.”
Reservations are at a discounted price if they are made seven days or more in advance on reservable routes.
Extra service is available from Thursday May 18, to Tuesday May 23.
