Travel safely by sea with Condor Ferries

It's time to reconnect with the world. To reunite with loved ones. And rediscover the simple things we've missed.

We’ve done everything we can to help you travel safely and comfortably, from the moment you arrive at check-in, and for every step of the way.

Fully trained staff will be on hand to guide and assist you, and helpful signage will make sure we all keep a safe distance. From hand gel stations throughout the ships to cashless only payments on board, we have thought of everything to help you sail confidently and get you to your destination safely.

If you have any questions about what travelling with us will be like on our back to service sailings, please read through our new and enhanced health and safety measures below to help put your mind at ease.
