An update on Brexit and your boating holiday

Following on from our original article about how Brexit might effect your boating holiday we’re able to update you with the latest information as the UK moves towards exiting the EU on the 31st January 2020.

Holidays after 31st January 2020...

The UK is now on track to leave the EU with a transition period beginning after Brexit on 31st January 2020. This transitition period lasts until the end of December 2020 and will see flights, ferry and train transport between the UK and Europe operate as normal.

An excellent source of Brexit advice for travellers is this page on the ABTA website.

We are convinced, that for this coming boating holiday season (March – October 2020), there will be no impact on your travel to Europe, but in order to provide peace of mind we’re continuing with our Nicols Brexit Guarantee.
