Are there weight limits?
Unlike airlines, ferries on this route do not normally impose strict weight limits for standard passenger luggage. The main rule is that passengers must be able to carry their own bags safely.
Large freight quantities or commercial goods may require a cargo booking instead of a passenger ticket.
Storage on board
- Open luggage racks near seating areas.
- Cabin storage if a cabin is booked.
- Vehicle deck access usually restricted during sailing.
Travelling with bicycles or special items
Bicycles require a dedicated ticket option with all operators. Oversized items should be declared during booking.
