How Early Should I Arrive for a Ferry

Plan to be aboard your ferry as a walk-on passenger at least five minutes in advance of the sailing.

How long before my ferry should I arrive?

If you are travelling with a vehicle and you already have your tickets, we recommend arriving at the port at least 1 hour before your ferry’s departure time. If you are travelling with a vehicle and you still need to collect your tickets, we recommend arriving at least 2 hours ahead of time.
