Starting Saturday, the North Carolina Ferry Division will offer more round trips for ferries starting Saturday to accommodate the greater expected demand and the easing of some COVID-19 restrictions, officials announced Friday.
The newly announced ferry schedule adds trips for ferries traveling to and from Ocracoke, between Cherry Branch and Minnesott Beach, and Bayview and Aurora.

The adjustments follow Gov. Roy Cooper lifting the stay-at-home order and moving the state to the safer at home recommendation. Officials hope to accommodate the increase of ferry passengers expected Memorial Day weekend and into the peak season.
The Ferry Division will continue to encourage passengers to remain in their vehicles or stand at least six feet from other people while on board to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
