Coronavirus (COVID-19) PASSENGER INFORMATION

Protecting passengers and crew

Welcome to our dedicated page on COVID-19 passenger information about our approach to the global crisis. As always, the health and well-being of passengers and crew have and will always be our priority. Any decisions we make will bear this in mind as well as guidance from the States in both Jersey and Guernsey and French and UK authorities.

Prerequisite for travelling with Condor Ferries

Following the recent increases in Covid-19 infection rates in the UK, all passengers (adults and children aged 11 and over) travelling with us must provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test result conducted within 72 hours of departure. This applies to all routes and ships, except for departures from Guernsey who are bound for the UK or Jersey, and are to remain in place for the foreseeable future. The result should be from a PCR or lateral flow test and the receipt presented at check-in on departure. Unfortunately, if this is unable to be presented, you will not be able to board your sailing. Please reach out to local authorities or a healthcare provider to find out where you can get a test from.

Please regularly check our Sailing Updates page for the latest information on our passenger services.

Latest Advice & Updates

The advice to our passengers is in line with advice from government and state authorities from each of the destinations we serve. The information is correct as of the last updated date at the top of this page.

Arrivals to Guernsey

Travel to or from Guernsey is only permitted for essential reasons. If your travel is essential, you will need to apply for an Essential Travel Permit 7 days prior to your travel. For an outline of essential travel reasons and how to apply for a Permit, please click here. You must have your Essential Travel Permit ready for inspection at check-in. Unfortunately, if this is not presented you will not be able to board your sailing.

Passengers travelling from Guernsey should also have an Essential Travel Permit to leave Guernsey. Although this is not a requirement to leave Guernsey, leaving without a permit whilst intending to return carries a huge risk if you are travelling for non-essential purposes.

The States of Guernsey require you to fill out their online Travel Tracker form within 2 days of your departure. And, depending on your travel history, you will need to self-isolate on arrival into Guernsey for either 7 or 14 days. Click here to fill out the form.

Before your departure, you will be asked to fill in an online registration form which also includes a declaration of health.

On arrival you will be tested at the ferry terminal which will involve a simple swab test from your throat and nose. If you test negative, you will not need to self-isolate for the rest of your holiday.

If you do not wish to be tested or if you test positive, you must self-isolate for 14 days.
