Summer timetable 2025 From Summer 2025, a two-vessel service will operate to Arran for 10 months of the year, except during scheduled overhauls where CalMac will temporarily operate a single-vessel service. MV Caledonian Isles will operate to/from Ardrossan upon her return and MV Glen Sannox will operate to/from Troon, significantly increasing the capacity to Arran.
