Condor has confirmed its timetable for next year, which includes daily non-stop sailings to St Malo in the summer peak.
Designed to support the visitor economy and improve travel for islanders, the schedule covers the 12 months from 29 March 2020 to 27 March 2021. In addition to daily summer services to France, there will be twice-weekly direct sailings on Fridays and Mondays during the shoulder months.
Condor increased its marketing spend in 2019 to stimulate travel from France. Part of the strategy has included capitalising on the re-opening of Hauteville House.
Paul Luxon, Condor’s CEO, said the new schedule reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting travel and tourism in the Bailiwick.
‘We consulted with key stakeholders, including Visit Guernsey, in developing the timetable, so hope this will benefit local travellers and the inbound visitor market. By extending the sailing period to the end of March 2020 also allows passengers to plan their travel further ahead.’
Other features of the new timetable include a boost in the number of inter-island full or part day trips to encourage travel during school holidays, as well as support travel for the Muratti Vase Final, Siam Cup and Junior Siam rugby.
