Join Visit Jersey’s Sarah Barton for travel tips, news and inspiration from the other side of the Channel on the sandy shores of Jersey...
With April being Earth month, sustainability is top of mind, the perfect time to spotlight how Jersey is to become a testbed for innovative travel technologies of the future.
Channel Islands based airline Blue Islands already offsets 100% of carbon emissions from all flights, but they will now be one of the first in the UK and Europe to trial hydrogen-powered flights. Working with U.S. company Universal Hydrogen and Ports of Jersey, flights to Jersey could be ‘truly zero- carbon’ as early as 2025.
Swan Hellenic to operate nine Africa expedition cruises
Josie Klein
Those who prefer to travel by sea may soon be boarding the ferry of the future. Condor Ferries is part of a new pilot scheme to develop a new 100% electric passenger ferry. The vessel is due to begin sea trials in 2024, so watch this space.
For those who don’t know, we are delighted to announce Jersey is once again officially the ‘sunniest spot’ in the British Isles. No trip to Jersey is complete without a beach visit, and this year visitors can leave their buckets and spades at home thanks to the ‘Borrow a Bucket’ scheme. Boxes of recycled beach toys have been set up around the island, free for anyone to use then return – creating less waste, and one less thing to pack in your suitcase.
