The Red Funnel team strives to keep our passengers updated about any potential travel disruptions, delays, or changes to service status. Below you’ll find our latest travel updates as well as the live status of the next 15 departures from the Isle of Wight and Southampton, along with our vessel map displaying the latest positions of our ferries.

Travel Updates

Please note, due to a temporary road closure on York Avenue in East Cowes, there is a diversion in place on the main route to and from our East Cowes terminal. Whilst we hope the impact of this will be minimal, it may cause some traffic delays at busier times - if you are travelling on our vehicle ferry on these dates, please allow additional time to arrive for check-in.
 

As preventative work continues to our Red Jet berth in Southampton, it has been necessary to extend our temporary Saturday timetable until 31 October.

Saturday 17, 24 and 31 October
The following sailings have been withdrawn from service due to preventative work to our Red Jet berth in Southampton.
Depart Southampton: 13:15 | 17:20

All other timetabled sailings will depart as normal. During this time, we will continue to operate from our secondary berth for boarding and refuelling.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
