Catalina Express Lowers Fares, Hotel Metropole Offers Luxurious Stay

Catalina Express is one of the best modes to get to the island of Catalina, second to a helicopter ride, of course. The hugely popular ferry service already gives free rides to people who have their birthday on the day of arrival, and now they have gone a step further and cut down fares from March 11. President and Co-Founder of Catalina Express, Greg Bombard says they have had savings in the price of fuel, even though the costs are going up.

They are passing along savings to passengers, with a more recent schedule that allows “vessels to run more efficiently, giving our passengers more convenient departure times and to allow on-time departures and arrivals with crossing times remaining at just over an hour each way.”

Getting to Catalina is a lot more affordable now, and for luxury stay, you have premium establishments like Hotel Metropole.
