BC Ferries resumes amenities service on Northern Routes

There will be no need to pack a lunch, dinner and breakfast for travellers on the BC Ferries northern routes, with a variation of their Cafeteria service and other amenities returning to the two routes that arrive and depart at the Prince Rupert Terminal at Fairview Bay.

BC Ferries announced the reopening of their onboard services on Wednesday noting that to ensure the health and safety of its customers and employees, the company will strictly adhere to provincial and federal guidelines during this reopening phase.

Towards those measures BC Ferries is ensuring the safety of passengers and crew by supporting physical distancing in food service areas, enhancing cleaning and sanitization efforts and reducing the number of touch points.

Pre-packaged meals and limited hot meal options are now available
aboard the  Northern Expedition for trips in and out of Prince Rupert

As of this week, BC Ferries customers can now enjoy packaged food items and limited hot food services on the North Coast runs, as well as a number of others to the south. All hot food will be served in packaging for customers to take to their vehicles, outer deck or limited cafeteria seating.

You can review the full announcement here.

The food service was suspended in March as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as a result those that had need to travel aboard BC Ferries had to provide for their own provisions for the two long distance journeys in and and out of Prince Rupert.
