Free Remembrance Travel
We are once again honoured to support the Island’s veterans and serving military personnel by offering complimentary foot passenger travel across the Solent during the Remembrance period.
From Saturday 7 November to Wednesday 11 November 2026, all current and former members of the armed forces can travel free of charge as a foot passenger on any service from the Isle of Wight.
This initiative enables veterans and serving personnel to attend Remembrance events and pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
Each veteran or service member may also bring one accompanying foot passenger free of charge, ideal for a partner, carer or family member.
