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

During this period, M/V Kitsap will replace Elwha/Chelan and sail in the #1 vessel position to maintain full 4-vessel service on the domestic San Juan Island routes. Kitsap will complete the domestic portion of the international sailings between Friday Harbor and Anacortes.

Reservation holders on the canceled international sailings will not be charged no-show fees. Customers may also choose to change or cancel their reservations without penalty at www.takeaferry.com.

Alternate routes during this period are between Tsawwassen/Swartz Bay on B.C. Ferries, or between Port Angeles/Victoria on the Black Ball Ferry Line.
