Does Peter Pan have amenities on board?
Peter Pan does offer WiFi, power outlets, and bathrooms on board most of its trips. Please keep in mind that since these are complimentary it is within the carrier's rights to not offer them on specific routes or if there are technical issues outside of their control.
Does Peter have a discount for children or infants?
One child under two (2) years of age does not require a ticket to travel but must travel on the adult’s/guardian’s lap for the duration of the trip for safety purposes.
If traveling with more than one (1) child under the age of two (2), a ticket should be purchased for the second child and the child should be secured safely in the seat next to the guardian.
If traveling on a bus with seat belts a child safety seat is allowed for use on the bus. You should ensure that your child seat has been approved for use in a motor vehicle, and is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
