Supplementary information

From start of Summer timetables (Friday 29th March)

Due to MV Caledonian Isles having to undertake significant steelwork repairs we have reviewed our deployment plans for the summer period.

MV Isle of Arran will continue to operate to and from Ardrossan. Please see here.

If space is not available on the Ardrossan-Brodick service, please check the Troon-Brodick service. MV Alfred will operate to and from Troon from 29th March up to and including 21st August. Please see here.

During this time, MV Alfred will carry all vehicle types except for Motorhomes/Caravans and Coaches. Customers with these vehicle types are asked to travel on MV Isle of Arran sailings.

Our team will be in contact with you to provide further information and support if your booking has been affected. Please be advised we will be working in date order with the focus being sailings for the Easter period first, we will contact you as quickly as we can.

Whilst we update our reservation systems to reflect these timetables, some sailings may be unavailable.

Irish berth

On 2 February 2024 the owner of Ardrossan Harbour has advised that Irish berth, which has acted as the reserve berth for the Arran ferry service, is to close permanently.

Alternative routes to/from Arran - did you know there are two other options for travel to Arran? You can also travel from Troon to Brodick or from Claonaig to Lochranza.

Turn Up and Go and Bookable route online purchases. If you have purchased tickets online as a group or for any number of travel companions, for use on any of our Turn Up and Go or Bookable routes, the full party must travel on the same sailing. This applies to both legs of your journey. If you are unsure if all members of your group are travelling together, please complete separate transactions online.
