Do I need to wear a mask on the ferry

Updated February 15th 2022

The legal requirement to wear a face covering in England no longer applies. However, the government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet.

  • A face covering is a covering of any type which covers your nose and mouth.
  • It is important to wash or sanitise your hands before and after touching your face covering.
  • For further information on face coverings please visit the government advice site.

Travel updates for all our routes can be found on our Coronavirus hub page.

France
Face masks are mandatory in all enclosed public spaces. The use of face masks is mandatory in some city centres. Please check local guidance for more information. Across France, masks are still compulsory in large gatherings, queues, markets and stadiums.

Wearing masks on public transport is compulsory for all users aged 11 and over, with fines for those who are not compliant. Masks are also compulsory in taxis and private hire vehicles without a plexiglass screen.
