Red Funnel will once again be the only Isle of Wight ferry operator sailing the Solent on Christmas Day.
For 2018, Red Falcon will depart Southampton at 09:00 and 12:00 and East Cowes at 10:30 and 13:30.
Red Funnel has also added 18 extra daily crossings (9 each way) on its Hi-Speed foot passenger Red Jet service between West Cowes and Southampton on every Sunday (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th December) leading up to Christmas and New Year.
Fran Collins, CEO at Red Funnel, said:
“I don’t think any other ferry operator does Christmas better than Red Funnel. We are the only cross-Solent vehicle ferry company operating on Christmas Day and we always have a few surprises on board, and it’s a tradition we’re really proud of.
“We take our role as the connection between the Island and mainland very seriously, so I guess you could say it’s just not in our DNA not to sail on Christmas. I think that level of service is just another shining example of the magic that is Red Funnel and it’s a testament to our hardworking staff and crew. I could not be prouder, and I am truly looking forward to my first Christmas with this incredible team.”
