NorthLink Ferries family and friends discount scheme returns on March 1

NorthLink Ferries is reintroducing its Family & Friends discount travel scheme from March 1.

The web-based offer will run until June 30.

As peviously, the scheme will allow registered islanders to nominate up to six ‘Family & Friend’ households. All members of that household then qualify for the 30 per cent discount currently enjoyed by islanders registered with NorthLink’s islander discount travel scheme.

Participation in the scheme is possible only via the NorthLink website and registration will be possible with immediate effect (from Thursday February 17).

Islanders wishing to sign up their Family and friends can nominate them online now. Nominees will then receive an email with instructions on how to sign up for their own unique discount ID and password, required for travel.

Family and friends members who have opted in to the scheme in the past can reuse their previous IDs and Passwords.

The promotion, which applies to passengers and their cars but not cabins, will cover all Hamnavoe sailings across the Pentland Firth and all Hjaltland and Hrossey sailings between Aberdeen and the Northern Isles, excluding the Friday southbound and Sunday northbound services which prove to be particularly popular with islanders themselves.

This is also an opportunity for any Orkney and Shetland residents not yet registered with NorthLink for the 30 per cent Islander Travel Discount Scheme to sign up.

Only registered Islanders can nominate their chosen family and friends to participate in the F&F initiative.
