Wightlink offers late-night shopping savings at Gunwharf Quays
5th December 2022
Wightlink has teamed up with the shops at Gunwharf Quays to offer extra savings for Isle of Wight people using the late foot passenger sailings between Ryde Pier and Portsmouth Harbour this December, and a free delivery service.
Islanders can shop ‘til they drop at the popular Portsmouth designer outlet in the run-up to Christmas then relax over a meal, drink or cup of coffee, without having to carry their bags home on the later sailings to Ryde.
The Wightlink Customer Exclusive Offer gives ticket holders a 10% shopping discount* at Gunwharf Quays on the late evening sailing dates plus a free shopping collection or home delivery service.
The deals are available when travelling and shopping on 9, 10, 16, 17, 22 and 23 December 2022.
The additional later evening foot passenger sailings, as previously announced, are running at the following times:
| Extra foot passenger sailings | Portsmouth Harbour - Ryde | Ryde - Portsmouth Harbour |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, 9 December and Saturday 10 December | 21:20 and 22:45 | 22:00 |
| Friday, 16 December and Saturday, 17 December | 21:20 and 22:45 | 22:00 |
| Thursday, 22 December and Friday, 23 December | 21:20 and 22:45 | 22:00 |
Wightlink Chief Executive Keith Greenfield says: “Our extra later night sailings will help hundreds of Islanders to shop for presents, treat themselves and celebrate Christmas on the other side of the Solent. This special offer will make the evenings even more exciting.”
Yvonne Clay, Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, adds “We are delighted to offer our ‘shopping bags to home’ for free to Islanders on these dates, as well as a special discount in our stores. They can enjoy all the excellent shopping and leisure activities, then travel home unhindered and in extra comfort, knowing that their shopping will be arriving at their address soon after they do.”
