As 2026 begins, there’s no better time to set intentions for a year filled with calmer journeys, more coastal adventures, and a renewed appreciation for the joy of being on the water. Whether you sail with the Cape May–Lewes Ferry every season or you’re planning your first crossing, the start of a new year is the perfect moment to refresh your travel routines.
Ferry travel naturally encourages a slower, more mindful pace: the rush of the road fades, the sea breeze picks up, and the new year suddenly feels full of possibility. With stunning views, friendly crew members, walk-on convenience, and the freedom to bring your car, bike, or even your dog along for the journey, the Ferry makes it easy to choose moments that feel meaningful rather than rushed.
So grab a warm drink, step aboard, and imagine what your travel year could look like. Whether it’s exploring new coastal destinations, catching more sunsets from the deck, bringing friends and family along for spontaneous adventures, or simply choosing routes that make life easier, your 2026 resolutions are already off to a strong start — and the Ferry is ready to take you there.
10 New Year’s Resolutions for 2026 — Ferry Edition:
- Take More Scenic Routes.
Make 2026 the year you swap traffic for tranquility. Skip the long drive around the Bay and enjoy the 85-minute mini-vacation you deserve — complete with dolphins, lighthouse views, and fresh sea air. - Plan a Spontaneous Ferry Getaway.
This year, promise yourself at least one unplanned escape. Pick a sunny day, grab a ticket, and let the Ferry carry you to Cape May or Lewes for a day trip filled with beach towns, boutiques, breweries, and boardwalk fun. - Explore a New Destination on the Other Side.
Whether it’s Rehoboth’s restaurants, Cape May’s Victorian charm, Wildwood’s beaches, or biking Lewes’ scenic trails, 2026 is your year to discover more of what the Delaware Bay region has to offer. - Catch More Sunrises and Sunsets from the Deck.
Make time for magic. Some of the best skies you’ll ever see glow from the top deck — winter pinks, summer golds, autumn fire… and you get a front-row seat. - Sail with Your Bike (or Try It for the First Time!)
Resolve to explore the coast on two wheels. Walk your bike aboard the Ferry and enjoy miles of flat, scenic paths waiting on both sides — perfect for beginners and seasoned cyclists alike. - Enjoy a No-Stress Travel Day.
Let 2026 be the year you choose ease. Shorter lines, simpler parking, and a relaxing crossing make the Ferry one of the smoothest ways to travel between New Jersey and Delaware. - Bring Your Dog for an Adventure.
Your pup deserves a resolution too! Dogs are welcome aboard the Ferry and love the fresh breeze, open decks, and photo spots. Make it the year of more paws on the Bay. - Try Something New at the Terminals.
From waterfront dining at Grain on the Rocks to coffee and coastal views at Stowaways, resolve to grab a bite, sip something new, or enjoy live music before or after your crossing. - Make Reservations Early for Big Trips.
Planning a Cape May vacation? Heading to the Delaware beaches? Bringing an RV, motorcycle, or trailer in 2026? Make it a habit to book early, skip the stress, and secure the perfect sailing time. - Create More Memories on the Water.
The Ferry is more than a mode of transportation — it’s part of the adventure. Make 2026 the year you turn routine trips into meaningful moments with family, friends, and unforgettable views.
As you look ahead to 2026, there’s no better way to embrace new adventures, simplify your travel plans, and create lasting memories than by sailing with the Cape May–Lewes Ferry.
