Alternative sailings for ferries

Submitted by Washington State Ferries

Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12 through Sunday, Dec. 8, international service between Anacortes/Friday Harbor/Sidney, British Columbia is canceled due to required maintenance on both vessels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet certified to run international service to and from Sidney, British Columbia, M/V Elwha and M/V Chelan.

During this period, M/V Sealth will replace Elwha/Chelan and sail in the No. 3 vessel position to maintain full four-vessel service on the domestic San Juan Island routes. Due to the cancellation of service to Sidney, British Columbia, there will also be increased domestic service. The M/V Samish will sail in the No. 1 position and have the following trips added:
