Interislander winter reduced timetable: What you need to know
Interislander will operate a winter reduced timetable from 22 June to mid-September 2026 while essential maintenance is carried out on its vessels. During this time, services will run with one ship and fewer daily sailings (four crossings per day), so availability may be limited.
To secure your preferred sailing, we recommend booking early and keeping your travel times flexible, especially if you are travelling with a vehicle.
