We’re heading into another high-demand summer on the coast, with travel volumes expected to exceed last year’s record of 10.3 million passengers and 4.1 million vehicles.
We continue to see strong demand for travel, including work, essential services, tourism, and increased activity linked to the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Preparing for peak season is a months-long, system-wide effort across our operations. This year, that includes:
• Earlier start to summer schedules on June 11
• 22 vessel refits completed
• Full 37-vessel fleet ready for summer
• 630+ seasonal hires and earlier training
• 1,800+ additional round trips added
• More reservation capacity and Saver fares
• New tools like sailing alerts and waitlists
Our focus is on delivering reliable service with the capacity we have today, while managing growing demand during peak periods.
We’re encouraging customers to plan ahead, book early, and travel outside peak times where possible

Our Victoria Day long weekend travel tips are here! 🚢
Here’s how to make your trip smoother from dock to destination.

✔️ Download the BC Ferries app
✔️ Take advantage of our digital tools:

Heads up:
Vehicles travelling Horseshoe Bay → Nanaimo (Departure Bay) must be booked and prepaid. No drive-up fares available due to construction at the terminal. A gentle reminder to disarm your car alarms before boarding to help ensure a comfortable voyage for our crew, passengers, and furry travellers.
See you on board soon! 🌊
From early morning sailings to sunset adventures, moms are there for every journey. 💛
This Mother’s Day, we are celebrating the moms, grandmas, stepmoms, chosen moms, and mother figures who help make memories on the coast every day.
Today, we are also sharing our gratitude for BC Ferries moms who are working today to keep us connected to our families and the people we love.
Thanks for sharing your moments with us, and happy Mother’s Day from all of us at BC Ferries. 🌊

Between Coastlines, captured by @matthewrstephenson 🎥🌊🌲
“Each scene aims to celebrate the meeting of human engineering and untamed nature, a poetic reflection of how these ferries connect communities across ocean and inlet.”
Matthew Stephenson is a seasoned photographer based in Vancouver, BC. His photography merges architecture, people, landscapes, and streetscapes. Fuelled by an innate curiosity and passion for dynamic city energy, Matthew finds inspiration in observing human interactions with their environment.
Over the past year in Passages 100+ BC‑authored and BC‑published titles have been featured.
Today nearly half of books on shelf are from BC creators, that’s an increase of 30 percent from last year.
Happy BC Book Day from BC Ferries 📚
It’s work you may not always see, but it’s essential to the service that people and communities rely on every day. Behind the scenes at Tsawwassen terminal.
