I am travelling with my bike, is there anything I need to know before I travel?


Bicycles are carried free of charge on all of our ferries. 

If you're a foot passenger travelling with a bike, or if you're a vehicle passenger with a bike or roof rack you need to let us know what you're bringing when you make your booking. When you book online, you'll be prompted to provide this information. So:

  • If you're a foot passenger travelling with a bike, add a bicycle to your booking. Your reservation will be for a passenger(s) and bicycle(s).  

  • If you're travelling in a vehicle with a bike rack, add a bike rack to your booking. Your reservation will be for passenger(s), vehicle(s) and bike racks - but you don't need to add the number of bikes separately. 

This information helps us manage capacity, and lets you know if we have space on that particular sailing.

If you are taking an e-bike on our ferries, please read our dedicated FAQ for important information on charging and travelling with electric bikes, scooters, etc.
