Isles of Scilly Travel announces earliest ever schedule release for 2026 season

Isles of Scilly Travel has today unveiled its full schedule for the 2026 season – the earliest ticket release in the company’s history.

Advance bookings are now available through to October 2026 following a surge of interest prompted by national TV exposure on the documentary series Summer on the Isles of Scilly.

Flights on Skybus and sailings on Scillonian III for the entire 2026 season are now open for booking, a move designed to meet rising demands and provide greater planning and flexibility for passengers.

“This is a response to increased interest in the islands and strong early demand signals,” said Stuart Reid, Chief Executive of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group, which owns Isles of Scilly Travel. “By releasing our schedule earlier than ever before, we’re giving our customers the confidence and clarity they need to plan ahead.”

The 2026 schedule includes Skybus flights from Land’s End, Cornwall Airport Newquay and Exeter, as well as Scillonian III ferry services from Penzance, maintaining essential connectivity between the mainland and the Isles of Scilly. The extended booking window will support both tourism traffic and group travel planning.

Skybus flights from Cornwall Airport Newquay will now operate year-round, and for summer 2026 there will be up to seven flights daily to St Mary’s, offering a choice of departure times throughout the day designed to facilitate easier connections with other airports.

There will also be up to seven daily services from Land’s End and two from Exeter.

Lead-in prices for both Scillonian III and Skybus will remain the same as for summer 2025.

The full timetable is now available at www.islesofscilly-travel.co.uk, offering a seamless booking experience for both flights and ferry.
