BC Ferries reminds customers that a major pricing promotion of 50 percent savings on passenger fares on the northern routes starts Oct. 1. Every passenger that travels in the north from Oct 1 – 31 will receive the discount off the regular passenger fare on all sailings.
The 50 percent off the coast promotion includes the Inside Passage, Haida Gwaii and Alliford Bay – Skidegate routes, as well as the Discovery Coast connector. For example, adult passengers travelling on the Port Hardy – Prince Rupert route will save $72.75 during the promotion.
“We are planning to start rolling out with our Fare Flexibility and Digital Experience Initiative in 2017, and this promotion will help us measure our customer’s reaction to discounted travel opportunities in off-peak periods,” said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries’ President and CEO. “In the future, we plan to move to a variable pricing model commonly used in the transportation and travel industries, so promotions like this one will introduce customers to fare flexibility when they travel with BC Ferries.”
Space on the northern routes is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations are strongly recommended to ensure a spot on the sailing of choice.
BC Ferries is also reminding passengers that on the major and minor routes they can receive 50 per cent off the regular passenger fares Monday through Thursday on select middle-of-the day sailings and on select Saturday afternoon and evening sailings until Oct. 15.
