For reference, our pricing structure for the general public is entirely demand based and so the cost of any given sailing will start at a low base rate and increase as more bookings are made and the closer it gets to the travel date. Typically, this base rate will be lower than the price available to Unitholders, but is subject to increase according to availability and higher amendment fees, particularly for last minute adjustments.  

Unitholder fares remain tariff based, meaning that the benefit to you when booking these is to have access to a fixed rate, regardless of when you buy your ticket. Amendments will also only incur a charge based on any difference between the tariffs chosen, rather than a potentially high charge for a busier crossing. As such, Unitholders have the ability to choose between these ticket types, to take advantage of the best price coupled with the most favourable terms.

Concessionary units can be transferred to a new owner, who must notify our Registrars (Computershare) of the change in ownership, so the register can be updated. Please note that a new owner isn't eligible for a discount until the year following which their name appears on the register.
