The shipping company Fred Olsen Express has announced that it will offer special rates for students in the new academic year. In this way, the company offers the youth discount, with up to 20% discount on tickets for people between 12 and 25 years old who travel without a vehicle. Thus, it intends both to facilitate the start of the school year and to accompany students throughout the course", he said in a statement.
Likewise, travelers within this age range may also take advantage of different savings packages that will allow them to move with their vehicles more economically. Specifically, it offers a special package for three passengers, under 26 years of age and traveling with a car, which consists of up to 35% discount. These special prices are automatically activated when making a reservation through its usual sales channels.
According to Fred Olsen Express's marketing and communication manager, Marina González, "these discounts are a reflection of our commitment to offering the greatest possible flexibility in transfers between islands. Our goal is to support young people during their training stage, promoting equal opportunities, by providing them with the best mobility options."
During September 2022, nearly 35,750 Canary Islanders between the ages of 12 and 25 chose Fred Olsen Express to make their trips without a vehicle. Annually, more than 390,000 young people enjoy these special discounts.
The shipping company also offers passengers "on foot" its Ferry Bus service. In this way, the port of Los Cristianos and Santa Cruz are connected in Tenerife, and in Gran Canaria the port of Agaete and the center of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, thus favoring travel to the Canary Islands university centers.
In addition, with the new pet-friendly accommodations, Fred Olsen Express offers the possibility of traveling with pets more comfortably and safely throughout the course. The youth discount and savings packages are available, both on the company's website, as well as through its usual purchasing channels.
