Ferries to Alderney

Alderney Week Sailings

For Alderney Week 2026, we are running a special series of sailings on 31 July, 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 August.

A chance to step ashore on the smallest of the main Channel Islands at the liveliest time of its year. From Jersey, the route runs via Guernsey and on to Alderney, making the whole island chain reachable in a single trip.

  • A Day, or a Few, on Alderney

    Step off the ferry and the island is yours.

    Wander into Saint Anne, with its cobbled streets and Victorian shopfronts, or follow the coast path to find quiet beaches, wartime relics and views that stretch all the way to France on a clear day.

    During Alderney Week, the pace lifts. Expect live music drifting from the harbour, a carnival parade winding through town, and the evening Torch Light procession closing out the week on the 8th.

    Stay for the day, or make the most of the schedule and string a few sailings together, there's no other week in the year quite like it.

  • A Small Island With Big Character

    Alderney is wild and uncomplicated.

    To the north, long sandy bays open out to the sea, quiet on most days, busier during the festival. To the south and west, cliffs rise sharply, with seabird colonies, hidden forts, and walking paths that feel a world away from anywhere.

    At the centre of it all, Saint Anne brings everything together with its pubs, restaurants and easy island welcome.

    If you're visiting from Jersey, Guernsey or the UK and want to add Alderney to your trip, these limited Alderney Week sailings are the easiest way to do it.

  • A Week Like No Other

    Alderney Week is the island's biggest annual celebration, running from Sunday 2nd to Saturday 8th August, with the 2026 theme: Under the Spotlight.

    Over seventy events fill the week — live music, parties, carnivals and wild, wonderful happenings for every age. It's a week that brings the whole island out into the streets, and these special sailings are timed so you don't have to miss a moment of it.

    The journey is part of the experience. A scenic crossing across the Channel Islands, with the chance to take in more than one along the way, arriving in Alderney just as the festivities are in full swing.

A Rare Chance. Don't Miss It.

Sailings run on 31 July, 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 August.

Spaces are limited and Alderney Week sells out fast.
