Hovertravel Announces 2025/26 Christmas Timetable
Hovertravel has confirmed its Christmas timetable for 2025/26, operating from Monday 22 December 2025 to Friday 2 January 2026.
During this period, a number of adjustments have been made to reflect seasonal travel patterns and to allow staff valued time with loved ones.
There will be no service on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, or New Year’s Day.
From 22–24 December, Hovertravel will operate a slightly reduced timetable, with a few fewer services—primarily in the afternoon—while still starting and ending at the usual times. Customers are advised to check exact times, as some services may vary slightly from the standard winter timetable.
On 27 and 28 December, the company will operate a normal Saturday service, with the exception that the 0800 flight on Saturday will not operate.
From 29–31 December, services will again follow a revised timetable, with fewer afternoon flights but with the same start and finish times as usual. Passengers should review the specific schedule for any slight variations from the winter timetable.
On 2 January, Hovertravel will run a reduced afternoon service, consistent with the pattern across the festive period, and customers are encouraged to check the timetable for any minor differences from the winter schedule.
Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, said:
“During the festive season, we adjust our timetable not only to reflect customer demand but also to ensure that our teams can enjoy quality time with their family and friends, alongside a well-deserved rest. We would like to wish all our customers, contacts and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from everyone at Hovertravel.”
Customers are reminded that Hovertravel’s interactive timetable is always the most up-to-date source for information, providing live flight times, availability and instant service updates.
