Welcome to our dedicated page on COVID-19 passenger information about our approach to the global crisis. As always, the health and well-being of passengers and crew have and will always be our priority. Any decisions we make will bear this in mind as well as guidance from the States in both Jersey and Guernsey and French and UK authorities.
Prerequisite for travelling with Condor Ferries
Following the recent increases in Covid-19 infection rates in the UK, all passengers (adults and children aged 11 and over) travelling with us must provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test result conducted within 72 hours of departure. This applies to all routes and ships and are to remain in place for the foreseeable future. The result should be from a PCR or lateral flow test and the receipt presented at check-in on departure. Unfortunately, if this is unable to be presented, you will not be able to board your sailing. Please reach out to local authorities or a healthcare provider to find out where you can get a test from.
Please regularly check our Sailing Updates page for the latest information on our passenger services.
The advice to our passengers is in line with advice from government and state authorities from each of the destinations we serve. The information is correct as of the last updated date at the top of this page.
Arrivals to Guernsey
Travel to Guernsey is only permitted for essential reasons. If your travel is essential, you will need to apply for an Essential Travel Permit 7 days prior to your travel. For an outline of essential travel reasons and how to apply for a Permit, please click here. You must have your Essential Travel Permit ready for inspection at check-in. Unfortunately, if this is not presented you will not be able to board your sailing.
Passengers travelling from Guernsey should also have an Essential Travel Permit to leave Guernsey. Although this is not a requirement to leave Guernsey, leaving without a permit whilst intending to return carries a huge risk if you are travelling for non-essential purposes.
The States of Guernsey require you to fill out their online Travel Tracker form within 2 days of your departure. And, depending on your travel history, you will need to self-isolate on arrival into Guernsey for 14 days. Click here to fill out the form.

On arrival, the States will test you for coronavirus at the ferry terminal. More information, including videos to help you prepare for your arrival, please click here.
Arrivals to Jersey
Here is the advice given to us by the Government of Jersey on safer travel guidance.
Before your departure, you will be asked to fill in an online registration form which also includes a declaration of health.
On arrival you will be tested at the ferry terminal which will involve a simple swab test from your throat and nose.
All passengers now fall under the Red Category, meaning you will need to self-isolate for 10 days, with a second test to be taken on day 5.
