All Steam Packet sailings will continue as normal across the festive period and beyond.

The Steam Packet Company has issued the message as numerous countries start to tighten travel restrictions for UK travellers following the outbreak of a new strain of Covid-19 in Britain.

The Manx organisation says it understands some passengers may be concerned about their upcoming travel plans given the latest developments across the water.

Officials say they're pleased to confirm they plan to complete all upcoming schedules as usual and look forward to welcoming customers on board.
