New Brittany ferry

Brittany Ferries launched its new luxury cruise ferry in Helsinki yesterday. Due for delivery in December, the Armorique will enter service in March 2009.

The £90 million ship has been specifically designed for use between Plymouth and the pretty Breton port of Roscoff and is named after the national park in Brittany.

This new vessel will be able to carry 1,500 passengers and over 500 cars. It also boasts environmental benefits in terms of fuel efficiency and minimising CO2 emissions.

Managing director David Longden praised the comfort and style of the new ship, saying the design theme "reflects the colours and space of Brittany to give this ship a very modern feel".

"One of the great luxuries when travelling nowadays is space and, whilst this commands a huge premium when travelling by air, it is something that all passengers on Armorique will be able to benefit from," he continued.

The ferry has the same hull as the most recent addition to the fleet, Cotentin, which entered service last year on the Poole-Cherbourg and Poole-Santander routes.
