DFDS puts 2026 sailings on sale

People can book their ferry travel to and from Jersey for 2026.

DFDS has put sailings to the end of next year on sale.

The schedule confirms there will be no fast ferries to the UK after 2 November, until next May.

The exception is crossings to Poole on four days  - Sundays and Wednesdays - during the Easter holidays.

That is a decision that prompted the Chief Minister last month to demand a better service

The Jersey Hospitality Association wrote to Lyndon Farnham to convey its concern, following a 16% drop in visitor numbers.

"The clear and immediate problem is the removal of the UK fast ferry service during the winter months, the single most important route for the current core market."

DFDS said it was matching capacity with demand and insisted it is meeting the obligations of the service delivery contract with the government.

While sailings to Portsmouth and St Malo are bookable until the end of December 2026, those to Poole are not on sale beyond 28 September.

Crossings to France are predominantly Fridays - Mondays until April, while those to Portsmouth become five days a week between 12 January and the end of March.
