SAILING SCHEDULE MAINTAINS CAPACITY
VICTORIA – With the Coastal Renaissance set to return from its refit in early March, BC Ferries has now confirmed its sailing schedules through June 2024, with no change to the number of passengers or vehicles it can transport during that time.
The Coastal Inspiration will assume sailing duties on the Swartz Bay – Tsawwassen route from January 3, 2024 through March when the Renaissance will resume service on the route. BC Ferries is taking a flexible approach to the deployment of its vessels across routes and is pleased to be able to put its passengers first and maintain the same capacity levels that were originally planned.
The company anticipates being able to provide a media briefing on its broader retrofit plans early in the New Year.
