Bookings Nearly Sold Out for Drivers Bound for Vancouver Island Aboard BC Ferries Friday

BC Ferries urged reservations and off-peak travel as vehicle space on key Vancouver Island routes sold out for the long weekend.

  • Upcoming sailings to Vancouver Island are nearly sold out as travellers prepare for the Labour Day long weekend, with Ferries reporting limited vehicle space across multiple routes.
  • The last long weekend of the season traditionally triggers significant demand for travel to Vancouver Island, driving high reservation volume for Sept sailings and return trips.
  • Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay ferries are nearly full, with only the first sailing offering vehicle space; the final voyage to Duke Point is the only departure with remaining vehicles from Tsawwassen.
  • "Advanced bookings sold out" means the sailing cannot be reserved in advance, though drive-up space may exist for passengers. Ferries suggests planning ahead with the "current conditions" tab on their website.
  • To navigate the busy Labour Day period, travellers should make reservations, avoid peak times, or travel as walk-on passengers. Non-peak travel remains viable for those seeking less crowded departures.
